My Story 265cc TRF Unders 6/10/12

Hi everyone, (I’m reposting this on the forum as now that everything has changed it’s in the wrong place! The people who want to read stories will never find it!)

Really wanted to post my story because I’ve loved reading other girls on here over the last 3/4 months. Sooo heres how my day went…

I arrived at the hospital at 8am which was my admission time, me my mum and my dad were asked to take a seat and there would be somebody down to take us to my room shortly. There was another 3 ladies there when i arrived and another lady arrived just after me. One by one we were shown to our rooms – i was taken to a lovely big room with a little flat screen t.v. and nice furnishings. The nurse gave me some paper knickers, a gown and a robe to put on but i’d taken my own robe and said i was welcome to wear that. She asked me to choose what i wanted to eat off the menu (3 course meal) and whatever my mum wanted and tell the nurse when shes comes to do pre-op checks. each person came to see me in the wrong order haha so i think the nurse was busy. The anaestetist came first and was lovely! He told me not to worry as they are not butchers haha. answered all my questions and was very honest – he’d asked my parent to leave while he spoke to m but then went and asked them is there anything they wanted to know which i thought was good because he took into consideration how they felt aswell. Ms Maggi, my surgeon came to see me next. She drew on me and took my pictures; she said to me, ‘don’t worry i won’t take pictures of your face with no make up on, i just want your boobs’, she wasn’t too formal and it made me feel more at ease. She told me I was 3rd on her list. The nurse was last to come and see me and asked me the standard questions about when my last period was etc.. but i didnt need to do a pregnancy test. She gave me my surgical stockings and told me i’d be going to theatre at about 11am.

I thought i had an hour to chill out before going up to theatre but at 10.45 the theatre nurse came to get me, she let my mum walk me to theatre and told her they’d look after me. She and the anaethetist took me into theatre and introduced me to everybody who was in the room, helped me onto the bed and told me what to do. They told me i had a lovely tan aswell lol. The aneathetist put my canula in and told me i was about to feel very drunk, he started laughing asking me what i drink when i go out and do i get very drunk? But i felt the anaethetic hit me like a tonne of bricks and i told everybody that i was going to stop talking and close my eyes, so i said goodnight and look after me and i felt the lady hold my hand as i drifted off. I can’t believe how lovely and nicely informal everybody was, from my surgeon to the reception staff. Each little touch was lovely and it’s those little things that I remember, especially the lady who held my hand as i went to sleep, i know its a bit sad but i felt quite touched by it! haha

I remember waking up in recovery, i was shaking but wasnt cold, i had a big duvet on me and hot air blowing under my covers into my bed. There was another different lady who stayed with me, told me where i was and what was going on she told me i had a drip because i was dehydrated but i was fine and it was the morphine that was making me shake. I also asked her if i’d said anything strange haha but i didn’t thank god. I had to stay in recover for an extra 10 mins because my blood pressure was a bit low. But it was nothing major.. i was then wheeled down to my room, and as i got out of the lift my mum was sat there and the first thing i said was ‘MUM, i have boobss!!’.. she told me the surgeon had been down t 11.50 and told her i was done and doing fine in recovery and should be back down shortly – another nice touch! So they nurses put me into bed and put my bra, breastband and pj’s on. They gave me a glass of water and a jug with a straw which was heaven. The nurse asked me and my mum did we want coffe/tea and biscuits and said me to she’d be there every 10/15mins to take my blood pressure and if i felt uncomfortable to tell them so i could have more pain relief. Which i did! After 2 co-codamol i felt great! no sickness or any roughness, just very sore and a bit drunk! Didn’t stop me from eating EVERYTHING the chef brought me

My dad then came and brought my 2 close cousins at 3pm and there was no problem with having 4 people there seeing me at once, they were all shown where to help themselves to drinks and refreshments. They all went home at 4pm so had about 40minutes sleep before Ms Maggi came back to see me. She was so motherly, I love her, she said they looked great and told me she’d see me at my 3 months check up. My boyfriend turned up soon after with lots of treats! we watched strictly come dancing before the nurse came in at at about 6.30, went through all my post op stuff, gave me all my paper work and told me to take my time but i could leave when i wanted to. We left at about 7pm that night I was supposed to have drains as i have unders but i mustn’t have needed them as i was never given them! I asked the nurse about it and she said i mustn’t have bled too much.

I’m 2 days post op today i can’t lie, i have been really sore! i’ve not been ill or rough but i’ve had a fair bit of pain! i don’t know if its because i’ve had unders and the muscle has been cut but as soon as the painkillers ware off i can feel the pain kick back in! A couple of girls stories i’ve read on here have said they have no pain! lucky ladies haha. personally i’d rather have pain than be ill (I’m scared of vomitting) so i ahvent really minded but thank god that my mum dad and boyfriend are here because i haven’t had to lift a finger i havent been able to do much. Sleeping wise, I dont feel like i’ve done too badly, first night i went to sleep at 11.30pm, woke up 2 times in th night and then woke up and stayed awake at 7am, and last night i also woke up twice and stayed awake from 8am. Sleeping sat up isn’t the comfy-est, giving me back ache now but it’ll be over in a week or so

I’ve managed to put a few pictures up aswell.. i hope this will help some pre-op girls even though my op was with transform! if you want to ask me anything feel free to! xxx
