Thought i’d share my story with you all as when I was pre op I loved reading people’s stories on here.
Here are my stats;
Height 5ft 7
Weight 10st 6
Size 12 bottom & 10 tops
Pre op bra size 32b (roughly)
Implants 410cc Low Profile CUI Overs
Surgeon Mr Chantrassak
So I travelled to London on Monday 21st and settled into our hotel (holiday inn express at golders green). Went out to Zizzi for tea cus it was my mums birthday. Then tried to have an early night. Didn’t sleep well due to excitement & mums snoring! Hehe.
Woke up Tuesday and today was the day! Couldn’t believe how fast it had came around! I got up at about 8 and had my last sip of water. Got a taxi to highgate hospital at 9:30 ready for my 10am admission time. Arrived at highgate and signed a couple of forms. Got shown to my room just after 10 (room 206)
Not long after a lovely nurse called Theresa came in took my blood pressure etc and gave me my gown and sexy paper pants. After about half an hour the anaesthetist came in for a chat & again took my blood pressure etc and said I wouldn’t be going down for a couple of hours. So I sat and read a book for a while & Theresa came back and gave me a pregnancy test. Not sure how long passed then Mr C came in and drew on me, I had a little wobble & told him I wanted the smaller implants. Then had to go get the nurse to tell him that I did actually want the 410’s. So in my pics I have 380 written on my chest lol.
I then read my book and watched tv for a couple of hours & finally at 14:10 the nurse came & told me it was time to go, she took me to a little room outside the theatre and I thought I was going to burst into tears but I managed to stay calm. Then I was lead into theatre and had the canula put into my arm. Then I felt the anaesthetic run through my vien and the last thing I remember is thinking I was going to be sick! Next thing I know I was being woken up, I tried asking the nurse questions but couldn’t make any sense! I was then taken back to my room & kept falling asleep whilst trying to talk. Mr C came in to see my but I think I fell asleep again! I slept for about another hour and then felt a lot better.
I had a cup of tea and some yummy biscuits then had a 3 course dinner! Watched tv for a little while then Theresa came in & said I could leave at 7 if u felt up to it, after a few wobbles whilst trying to walk around I managed to get dressed and go back to the hotel.
Although I do feel I was left waiting around for an awfully long time the staff at highgate were great & my experience was amazing. So glad that it’s all done now & I can focus on healing.
I’m now 3 days PO and not feeling too bad! Have been taking some pics so will upload them over the weekend.
Hope I didn’t bore you all too much by rambling on! Hehe xxxx
