My story, BA and full uplift, 17th Oct, First Trust Preston, Mario Russo

Arrived at first trust at 6.55am, thought for a moment that I’d stepped back into the 80’s/90’s. I was taken to my room, put my gown on and waited for the nurse to come back. (was a little annoyed to find that my date of birth was wrong on my notes despite telling my pc and nurse at my initial consultation and pre-op – a minor complaint I guess)

Mario popped in about 8 to say hi and that he’d be back later to draw on me.

Didn’t see the nurse until 9.30, then waited and waited and saw Mario at 12.45, he took a lot of time measuring and drawing on my saggy boobs, very embarrassing standing with my gown round my waist and my Ted stockings on! 

Eventually went to theatre at 1.30pm, ridiculous being told to arrive at 7am and then waiting over 6 hours, could’ve eaten on the morning if I’d have known there would be a delay. Kept asking what the hold up was. Surely they should stagger admission times! 

Anyway whinge over, walked down to theatre with the ODP who was lovely, talked me through everything, had cannula put in my had, then had my morphine, felt like someone had just punched me (defo don’t see the attraction of being a heroin addict!).   Remember them telling me I was having my  anaesthetic drugs then woke in recovery crying, god nos why! Remember feeling a bit sore.

Back to my room, staff were lovely, mam and Nanna came to visit, started crying again! Had an ok nights sleep, woke a few times to go to the toilet, the night staff couldn’t have been more caring and helpful. Just seemed to nod back off to sleep the the nurse woke me at 6.30am!! Had breakfast then had drains removed, not the most pleasant experience but bearable. 

Too early to really comment on the new additions as they are very high and swollen, but Mario visited at about 11am and was over the moon, said he was really pleased with the results, had 325cc in the left and 335cc in the right. He had a good look, squeezed them together, said how great they were then gave me a cuddle, once again i was a little emotional!!

Set off for out 3 hour drive home at about half 11, very uncomfortable journey, my new boobs felt every little bump but home now recovering. Occasional shooting pain but sure that will settle.

Sorry for such a long tail, but wanted to share xx

Sounds like an emotional one lol. Happy healing Hun xx

congratulations hun happy healing xx

Bet you’re glad to be home! That’s do daft going so early and being kept waiting, glad it was all worth while! My sister wakes from ga crying too, could be worse, my nephew got potty mouth when he had an op, which is common too – I’d have died if I’d done that! I had the same shooting pain in left boob but sent after a few days. Happy healing x

happy healing hun xx

Congrats!!! I had my op on Friday and woke up crying too, had never heard of this before, was very bizarre!! Happy healing xx

Congratulations honey. Hope you dont mind me adding you. I have my op with Mario on Monday xxx

Very emotional day, and it’s continued today!! Think it’s a combination of the anesthetic and lack of sleep. Ha ha yeah I’ve heard of people waking up swearing and shouting that would’ve been very embarrassing!! Just accepted your request misslaura84 xx

FANTASTIC – now take it easy lovely honey and rest xx happy healing

Thanks girls, just getting into bed for night 2 of sleeping upright, what a nightmare this is ha ha Xx

Boobs are aching like mad and keep getting a strange pulsing kind of feeling (the best way I can think to describe it) where my nipple used to be on my left boob, but can’t actually feel my nipples at all . Anyone else had this? Xx

Mine still achine after 7 days, and I have a weird pain on the left that feels like I have a huge bruise there but there’s nothing there at all. Also get shooting pains every now and again, so think all these little niggles are prob normal.

Thanks princess, hoping I get the feeling back in my nipples but know that it was a risk with the uplift that I won’t Xx

I’, having the same BA and uplift with mario at the first trust next month so thanks 4 sharing your story!! happy healing hun xxxx

No probs clo1, I found it really useful reading other people’s experiences. Hoping to put a few pics up in the next few days, once I find the camera cable. What size implants are you having? Mario is fab? Xx

Hey nicdev thanks for sharing that. You took me backto my day with Mario writing on my saggy sweaty sock boobs. Mario is brilliant and the next part of your journey won’t always be easy. Here if you need to ask anythin ok I’m only 13 weeks ahead xx

Thanks anchovie, ha ha that made me laugh, didnt know where to look when he was drawing, looking all serious with his glasses on and his tape measure out, then my phone started ringing mid-way through, I was very embarrassed! Im struggling already and only day 2 post-op! I’m a nurse and have realised I dont do being a ‘patient’ very well Xx

Ok to add you anchovie? Xx

Great story, Nicdev! I’m in at FirstTrust with Mario for the same just after Xmas and I’ve got a long trip home next day too! Do you think I should bring my v pillow for the car?! LOLZ! Happy healing, hun! Post pics soon! xx

congrats nicdev! take it easy & happy healing x x x

Congrats! I had trouble at first trust too, luckily for you i think you’re experience wasn’t too bad in comparison. A girl i spent the day with was admitted at half 7 in the morning (left Leeds at 5) and didn’t go into theatre until 7pm!! They kept switching the list around! So everyone that arrived at 12pm went before her (there were 8 of us that day, i went 3rd i think) i never got given a room, staff were little to no use…. i’m not sure where to complain though, maybe to my pc? Happy healing anyway hun xxx

Honeybunny, I took my v pillow, was good go lay on in hospital, but not much help in the car, I won’t lie the journey home was pretty uncomfortable, felt ever bump and when we went round corners felt like my boobs were going to fall off!! Stopped half way for a little walk around. Will have a look for my camera cable an try and upload pics today.

Thanks jellybean

Acorn88 thats a nightmare! All the staff seemed lovely, but day staff seemed very busy, didn’t really have time to spend with all the patients, not on reay with all the money we paid for the op. The night staff were brilliant but guess that was because there were less parents. I complained to the nurse on the day about the wait being ridiculous and she agreed, said it was mya who asked everyone to come in at the same time. I’m going to speak to my pc about it next week when I have my check-up. Xx

hi can you tell me what size you was before uplift and implants as I went for my pre op today and was told I need a uplit and implants and he only wanted to give me 360 can I see you pics also please Im so unsure now and feeling so down about it I had the money for just implant never expected to be told I need a uplift now I have to save save save x

Thanks for your story. What a nightmare that you had to wait so long. I know I would have been really hungry and anxious.

I also had Mario for uplift and implants (365 unders) and am 7 weeks post op now. They are softening but still feel much firmer than real boobs. Did you have unders or overs? xxx

Heather119, I was wearing a very empty 34c pre-op but was more like a b. I too was absolutely gutted when I was told I needed an uplift, thought I’d just go to my consultation, decide on a size and go for it. Took a while to get my head around the scars. Think it’s worth saving the extra money. I spend all my house deposit savings on mine!!

Char 30, yeah it was nightmare. I had overs, 335cc in the right and 325cc in the left, Mario said I had slightly different sizes to start with. Mine are rock hard at the moment but I’m only 3 days post-op!! They’re very sore too. How are yours healing? You pleased with the results? Have sent you a friend request, can i look at your pics please? Xx
