My admission time was 7:30am, however my partner and I arrived at FItzroy Hospital at 7:05am. We signed in at reception, and then a lovely male nurse came to greet us, and show us round the hospital. He then took us to room 5, which was my room for the day. The nurse then asked me lots of questions, went through a few details of the procedure and asked me to fill in the lunch menu form. He also left me some sexy paper pants, a gown and a pot to do a urine sample in. Make sure you are able to provide them a urine sample, particularly as you won’t be able to drink water when you are there.
The anaesthetist then came to see me, asked a few more questions, then left.
Then the boobie god, Mr Singh, came in. He was laughing and joking, and explaining about what would happen. He then drew on me and took photos. By 8:15 I was on the way to the theatre. All the staff were fantastic and I wasn’t nervous, we were having lots of laughs. Next thing I remember was waking up and wondering where on earth I was! The nurse told me that my op had gone well, and told me to have a little look! So exciting! I hardly had any pain, just ached a little.
I was back in my room by 9:30am, walking around and putting my makeup on! One of the members of staff bought me and my partner toast and tea which was really nice of them. At 12pm they bought me my lunch – Heinz chicken soup and a bread roll, jacket potato with cheese, lemon sorbet, raspberry yogurt, and another pot of tea.
I then relaxed for a while whilst the staff sorted out my discharge notes. A nurse then came in and checked my boobs and do some more obs.
At 2:30pm I was told I could go! I felt fantastic, and got up, got myself dressed and did my hair, then walked out of the hospital. The nurse said she couldn’t believe how good I looked after having surgery!
I felt so good that me and my partner went to McDonalds on the way home, and then to a couple of shops to pick up some things!
When I got home, I couldn’t wait to look at them! I had been undecided between 460s and 525s, and in the end Mr Singh and I agreed on 460s, which was definitely the right choice! I love them already! I have no pain, I can put tops on over my head, brush my hair… I never expected to feel this good! Now I’m off for a slow walk around Greenwich Park to get out into the sunshine!
