My story- highgate hospital Dr Singh

I will tell you my story from beginning to end as I found other peoples really helpful. So, the op was yesterday and my admission time was 7.30am- I filled out a form at reception, was shown to my lovely, comfortable room and waited for the anaesthetist who was adorable to come and explain everything and answer my stupid questions. Dr Singh then came along and took some photos of me before explaining it all again. Then at 11am a nurse came in and lead me to theatre where I got on the bed. They buggered up my cannular thing (the thing they put the anaesthetic through) as I had no blood but they got it in my arm eventually and I hadnt realised they had put the drugs in and I thought I was fainting, but instead went into the best sleep ever. I woke up to the fittest nurse man ever (Frankie) and flirted outrageously (anaesthetic does weird things to you) asking if he had a girlfriend and then apparently planning the wedding… Anyway, all the rest of the day I felt fine. Not too sleepy, no pain. I was walking around laughing with my mum and very happy. My dinner was delicious and I went to sleep at 10pm. However, 4am came and I woke up feeling in pain, the nurse came very quickly everytime I pressed the bell and did everything she could. Lots of painkillers. All today I have been in a pain rating of about 6/10 but if I sit upright it is not too bad. Sooo bloated and also terrified theyre not big enough… I got 360cc in one and 410 in the other (odd sized boobs before) but at the minute they just look like torpedoes as theyre bandaged up with the nipples poking out, I will put pics up on sofem once ive taken the bandages off. The nurse has already called to check Im ok and the staff at Highgate are incredible. Everyone was so so lovely and I had an extremely pleasant stay. Feel free to ask me any questions as I have a week off work and am already bored. xx

Hi littlemissnewboobs, its so great to hear everything went so well for you. I wish i could just blink and have them without the op lol.. im very scared of the op, but i will get through it. Nice to hear some good positive feedback xx

the op is absolutely fine i promise you, i was terrified. the best bit is the anaesthetic, its sooo nice! x

when you had the anaesthetic where were you, in the room or the op room?

just outside the operating theatre in a little room x

so jealous! i keep thinking i may chicken out lol

do not chicken out, its really not that bad!!!! it hurts a bit today but its so worth it xx

HIYA! I travelled to Highgate Hospital from Lincolnshire and I nearly chickened out twice, I was crying and telling my Husband to turn around in the car and go back home. He made me go in the end and I had my BA on Friday 16th July with Mr Singh and I dont want to talk too soon, but all seems fine. You must eat something before you take your antibiotics else you start to feel faint and see red dots like I did this morning! Eat and drink plenty and you must rest. I keep havin a few heart palps and the tape is itchy, but apart from that, the pain is fine and boobs looking great.

Hey littlemissnewboobs, you’ve really made me chuckle reading your story, love the flirting, hee hee. Glad to hear it went so well, I booked in with mr kazzazi at parkhill in doncaster on 1st august and totally bricking it, soooo excited but terrified at the same time, still doesn’t feel real tho sure it will the closer it gets!! Hope your recovery continues to go well hun xxx

hello, it was nice to read your story, i got my ba on the 30th july at highgate with mr singh! so good to hear1 im starting to get a bit nervous and keep getting butterflies as its under 2 weeks away! hope your healing well, and keep us posted!

vicky

littlemissnewboobs- good one for flirting! LOL… I hope my BA is as smoothly as yours.. I am having my BA done by Dr Adamo on the 11th of August and I can’t wait! Meeting him for second consultation on Thursday, 22nd July. I am kindaa undecided with the size 😳

Aw you ladies are sweet. Day 3 post op and they are a bit sore but Im loving being on all these painkillers!! I dnt know what they look like as Im all taped up but cannot wait. Im not saying it doesnt hurt because it is an operation and it obviously does, but it is nothing like how much i thought it would hurt. Do not back out, you will regret that for life. The op is so so so worth the discomfort. the only thing i wish id been told is that you will pull all your back and neck muscles from holding yourself up funny!! il put pics on sofem soon , before op, with bandages and after the bandages come off xx

Ladies,

I had my BA on the 7th with Dr Singh. My story is here somewhere. Just to say it went fine. The whole experience for me has been amazing. I had it onthe Wed, day case. Home for about 6pm. I can honestly say I had pain one day on the Sund, for about 30 mins. I would say about 5 on the scale. Since then nothing, sometimes slight tightness.

The whole thing was so much better than I thought.

Hope everone has a good experience

Hi all you all sound so brave i have my meeting with the surgeon on Friday and keep thinking i am not brave enough to do it, and if i do i will regret it, scared cos my boobs dont look too bad now but not full at the top, bloody breath feeding and that was year and years ago!! i am worried that i will wake up and find two boobs that look this they have been stuck on and i want them to look a little natural. oh man i don’t know what to do, i also want to blink for it to be done and for them to look amazing!! Any advice? x

I was serioud=sly not that brave. I was in a right mess the day before. I did my research and had an idea of what to expect, and then I thought of all the horror stories.

Like you I was worried as I actually had nice boods to start, only after weight loss they were still ok, but fairly empty. I can say now 10 post op that they are setteling nicely and unless Im pushing then together or up then they look just like full nice boobs.

Hope this helps xx

Great story, I’m with Mr Singh next Friday!! so scary now lol I’m glad you are recovering well.

Have you just the strapping on (I know he uses loads!! lol) or are you wearing a sports bra on top?

TRIX 1984- Hiya Vicky, I’m having Mr Singh on the 30th at Highgate too! have started altewrnating between feeling excited and sick now lol. if ur on soFem I’m xxmariexx6.

Take care and happy healing all of you

Marie xx

Lublu- I was not brave enough until now… I have been thinking of having BA since about 7 years ago, with my mum died of breast cancer, it held me back!

Then I realised, I have got nothing to loose if I go for my free consultation and I actually found out that I was being paranoid!

I just can’t wait to have them done!

hey keeps, my mum had breast cancer too but you cant let that hold you back from doing it.. good luck with it all xx
