my story – 375 overs ???

So i had my op on the yesterday, thought i would share my story as i found it really helpful to read about other girls in the build up to it! I initally had my heart set on unders, met dr andrea first who told me i need a lift, i hadnt even considered that so i was heartbroken, i worried about the scars, its more money and he said ill probably need another one in the future if i wanted more kids which i do, my pc suggested i see mr traynor for a second opinion so i booked it but there was about 4 weeks to wait, so i thought id meet other surgeons in the mean time and ended up seeing 6! Half said lift half said no lift! Luckily mr traynor said no lift! Had i have met him first i probably would have booked there and then haha. But he did say it had to be overs which i came to terms with, i also work out alot so its for the best for that too. i booked up pretty quick after.meeting him but then reality hit me and i started to panic, about the size about the money and mostly about the general anaesthetic! I was more scared of that than i was of actual surgery! I posted here about it and realised i wasnt alone there! And seeing all the girls come back and talk about it was so reassuring, the closer it got the more calm i actually became! So op day came round really quickly, tbf i booked it with only 2 weeks to wait! I got my admission time of 12 oclock (got it 5 days before) so travelled by train from newcastle on the day. I was shown straight to my room, changed into my lovely gown and knickers! (if you wear all cotton nicks you can keep your own on, its just other materials can spark on the surgery equipment!) Spoke to the nurse she gave me a pot to wee in that she would do a pregnancy test on later etc and just said to make myself comfy and that the dr then anaethetist then surgeon would come see me, the first 2hrs absolutely flew by, doctor and anaethetist were so nice just asked pretty much same questions, then mr traynor came in about 2oclock, we discussed sizes again and he was honestly so funny, he is so blunt and we had a giggle, i was really calm anyway but my mam was terrified and he really put her at ease! He said shouldnt be much longer which i was pleased about because i was sooo hungry couldnt stop thinking about food!! But then i didnt actually go til about 20 past 3 so that last hour reeeeeally dragged, i think cos i was expecting to be in pretty quick after mr traynor came in. It was a different anaethetist that came to get me but he was so nice, he walked me to the room and tried to keep me talking as thats when the nerves started to come back a little, he put the cannula in (i didnt even feel it!) gave me a sedative before the GA and said once this is in ur system u wont care what we do to u haha! Then the first one joined us and said ok are you ready i just nodded as i was feeling kinda drunk and the 2nd one was asking me what i like to drink, all i managed to get out was vodka and lem… that was it i was out haha! The next thing i know im waking up! They had the tube dwn my throat and i woke up just before they took it out which felt weird but i was too high to care hah i just went what is that! Then i was like omg do i have boobs and tried to feel them, then i asked if i could eat now and tried to hi 5 the guy cos he said yes ? then i realised this guy was different so i was like your not the man!! Rambling so much he was like im sorry i cant understand you! Haha it was so funny i was giggling away. My mam said when i got back to the room i was talking 50miles an hour just absolute rubbish she had a good laugh at me! But i was literally only gone about an hour if that so she was pleased cos she was terrified lol. I didnt feel much pain, the incisions just felt sore but obviously i had literally just been cut open! I asked for toast straight away haha and scoffed the lot it was amazing! (And crisps and chocolate ha) the nurse kept taking my blood pressure and helped me put my bra on and got me stand up, i felt a Little dizzy standing up but she said it was just the GA and that it would wear off and told me to try to keep getting up and drink plenty of water, i managed to go to the loo by myself not long afterwards and the nurse said tbf you’d probably be ok to leave but unfortunately we have to keep ypu for 3hrs just to keep an eye which i didnt mind i was happy munching away and probably still high haha! Then before i knew it i got to leave and went to my hotel, ordered takeaway and got quite comfy in my bed! I dint take any painkillers til about 10.30 and tbf i wasnt really in much pain i just didnt want it to hit me at all once! The only thing that kept me from sleeping was the pain in my bum from sitting up it was so sore! I put a pillow under it which eased the pain a little but still wasnt ideal haha. I managed a good 5hrs in total tho so not too bad! Today i travelled back to newc by train and i feel great. Iv had painkillers but more as a just incase, i dont actually feel like im in much pain its just more uncomfortable really. But honestly couldnt be happy with my decision, i feel so over the moon with them already theyre bigger than expected which is fine as im sure once the swelling goes down theyl be as i thought (of if they stay this big thats fine too ?) bt i already feel 1000x more confident in myself, best money ever spent! ill keep posting progress pics so feel free to add me ask any questions etc as i know how much this forum helped me so more than happy to help where i can! Good luck to all of you girls considering/booking etc, if its something you know you want, go for it!! I honestly worried SO much i was Terrified at first, and the op day was so pleasant i couldnt have been happier and more calm if i tried! Try not to stress as honestly its nowhere near scary! X
