NOT HAPPY! Just at Highgate waiting for my op…. an update

Hi ladies

Well not a great start I have to say. Been here since 6.30am and because of my latex allergy I was supposed to be first. However, seems my implants aren’t here! The ones that I have decided on have not arrived (!) and now I am awaiting a delivery which I am told will be ‘sometime this morning’. I have text and phoned my patient coordinator to check she ordered them and her phone is switched off, I haven’t eaten since yesterday evening, not had a drink since before I went to bed and I am verging on being very pissed off. Noone has been into my room for the last hour to give me any kind of update.. so not a happy bunny at all.

Sorry to be so negative but I should have been in and out by now. I even have the numbing gel on the back of my hands while I type – that was supposed to be for the anaesthetic.

Let’s hope that reports later are a little bit more positive.

On a lighter note, my bf is being amazing… he can play as much Football Manager as he likes for the next week!

Don’t worry Anna, I’m sure everything will be fine. Perhaps you should ask them what the options are if your implants don’t arrive as expected? Another girl had this happen to her and they offered to give her the more expensive implants for no extra cost. x

Hey lisam, thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately it’s the more expensive implants that I have ordered and already paid for so I’m not going to accept anything else… communication here is not fantastic I have to say. Just want to sleep now I have been up since the crack of dawn…. bleh xx

sorry to hear this anna it’ll be fine im sure they will sort it this time tomorrow you’ll be all done hun hang in there xxx

Thanks ritam – kind words. I know I’m probably stressing over something I can do nothing about but I have to have this op today. I’m back at work on Tuesday and cannot be off so need to have enough recovery time. xxx

Hope all’s ok Anna. Still might be worth asking them what their plan is if they don’t turn up – can they be couriered quickly from somewhere else. I’m sure they deal with it every day though and already have a back up plan in action as we speak. x

It is dissapointing, but as its been bank holiday, i expect all post is delayed etc. I found highgate great, always popping in my room to check all was ok. Im sure things will work out, Dont get your self upset as it will spoil your day, enjoy the rest and have a sleep. xx

Hay Anna I was in high gate on Friday and i didnt eat from 6:30 in the morning and my admission time was at 12.00 so was expecting like 3 atthe latest i went down at half 4…I was getting miffed but me an my boyfriend hopped up on the lil electric bed and chilled watched lots of tv and just treated it like i was waiting to leave for surgery. the time will soon pass and on the up side you are deffy getting them done at some point today and this evening you can look back and be like ahh bugger it cos im one up now ne ways … good luck beaut keep us posted bbe xxx

Hi Anna – just seen this. I am looking into this for you now. Bear with me.

Hey Anna hope everything works our for you keep us posted xx

Someone is going to call you very soon to update you on the situation Anna. So sorry for the delay.

hey dont worry, my admin time was 10am and my surgery didnt take place til 6.30pm as the nurses forgot i was a daycase haha. i didnt get any updates from them or anything and got compensation off them. hang in there, ur surgeon will do a great job when its ur turn x

Good luck, Anna. Let us know how it goes.x

Good luck, hope they look after you from now! x

Any news Anna? Hope u get sorted soon xx

Good luck Anna x

Hope they turned up in the end Anna & you are all done.. cant wait to hear your news xx

this was my main worry last week wen i had my op, id ordered in another size aswell and was the size i was more than likely going to go with. emailed my pc a few times before my op to make sure she had def ordered them and i had no reply. myas been pretty rubbish since my original pc left tbh, my new pc or the nurse havent even bothered to contact me since my op

hope your all sorted now though and had your op xxx

Well I would have got pissed of by now and told them so!! you have been very patient, remember sweet your paying a lot of money for this op, you are the customer. Dont let them forget!!

x

Dear All. Just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your messages of support. I’m not here to slate anyone but no the operation did not go ahead today after a catalogue of disasters… I’m back in Brum now with the bf and about to have a bath and some rest after what I can only describe as one of the most stressful days of my life. Don’t want to go into details on here, in such a public way.. but what I will say is that I have decided to get my money back from the operation and go elsewhere. I’ll be on the forum for the next day or so but after then I am done. I just want to put this whole experience behind me. Anna xxx

Oh God Anna – so sorry

omg anna that dont sound good, sorry to hear you opp never toook place, take care xx

I am so sorry about this Anna. Hope ur okay or at least as okay as u can be after this. Xxx

I’m so sorry Anna – thats terrible news! MYA’s reputation has certainly not been 100% lately…They seem to be messing with a lot of peoples lives recently xx

Oh my god!!!!! That is terrible. I can’t imagine how you must be feeling Anna and you’re a better person than me to be so restrained. I woulve been ranting away like no one’s business. Hope you get treat well at your alternative provider and you get your op soon. X

Oh no Anna that’s terrible – what a horrible time for you, hope you manage to get everything sorted xx

Ha ha ha Lisam.. yes usually I wouldn’t be so restrained but there’s no point poisoning other people’s minds about my own experience today as I’m sure I have just been extremely unlucky. I have told MYA how I am feeling and my perception of today’s events so as long as they know I guess that’s the most important thing right now. Just need to sort out another company now to go and see and fingers crossed I do get the boobs that I have been wanting for the last 17 years… xx Thank you for all of your lovely comments, it has helped me today xx

OMG so sorry Anna, their was me thinking they would turn up 10 minutes after you wrote your post….Please please tell us your story of what happened, i think it can sometimes help others, plus now we know this can happen it may prepare people more of what can happen. I expect mya offered you compensation?. as they should. xx

Hey Shazzy, OMG me too lol. I was so optimistic even until the final hour. I was offered other implants but they weren’t the size or type that I had spent weeks deciding on, so it didn’t feel right to make a snap decision that I could ultimately regret for years to come! And it’s alot of money to spend on something for me to then change my mind at the last minute and go with something else. There are other things that went on today that again this forum is not the place for…. as I said above I’m sure I have just been very very unlucky and hopefully lessons will have been learnt from this from all parties involved, from the implants company, to MYA, to Highgate – so that this never happens again. I am absolutely devastated, and even when I use that word I’m not sure that even touches how upset I am right now… xx

I bet you are Anna, and everyone on here will take their hat off to you for not slagging Mya off, As im sure 99% of us would have done. I hope you get sorted soon, as i know how much of a chore it was for me to sort work time off/babysitters/hotels and all the traveling to and from consultations. Let us know how you get on. xx

Anna, I am so sad for you.. I was hoping all would get sorted for you… honestly I dont know what to say.. we have been having great chats over the past few weeks. cant believe this has happened… im online tonight if you fancy at chat but I suppose you wont.. will miss you if you leave the forum xxx

Shazzy, yes will let you know how I get on – drop me your email addy as I think I’m going to get off here altogether. Same for you Riggers, we’ve certainly bonded over the last few weeks and I am gutted that my story didn’t have a happy ending like yours… drop me your emails ladies and I’ll let you know. In the meantime if you know of any other reputable companies, please inbox them to me. Gosh. What a goddam day! xx

shaz.cullen@ntlworld.com

Cant help you with other companies. Where do you live?. as others may be able to suggest in your area. xx

I live in London but can have op in Brum so don’t really mind which.. think I would like Mr C. too.. so will see if he works for anyone else xx

will personal message you honey with my e-mail would love to keep in touch…

I dont know any other companies as just went with MYA cause my friend used them…

sorry again lovely, hope your taking it easy..

Will you get any compensation for the mess up… petrol etc?? xx

Awww this is so sad to read I’d be absolutely gutted, I hope you get sorted soon and mya compensate you for all the trouble this has caused you X

Would you not fancy going with Singh through his own practice? X

Thanks staceylash – it’s been a horrific day it’s fair to say! Riggers, there has been a mention of compensation but will chat to you about this privately if that’s ok. Money won’t take away the stress from today anyway so compensation isn’t really something on the top of my agenda right now… I just want new boobies courtesy of Mr C 😥

hi lisam (x) I’ve heard Mr Singh does big boobies and I only want little uns lol. Just need to take some time out to think about the next step… today has been a long, long day. xxxxx

Hi anna1979, So sorry to hear about your ordeal today. I would be so gutted if I was in the same situation & think you are very dignified not to be shouting the odds(cus I know I would be!), really hope you get the boobs you have wanted for so long & plenty of compensation from MYA for such a careless mistake. xx

Anna l am so sorry to hear about ur bad experience. All l can say is l had my done with Hospital Group Dolan Park Bromsgrove Adriano Seno he was fantastic. 2 weeks post op and my scars can be hardly seen. take a look at my pics. l did have a uplift though xx Good luck chick xx

hi anna,

havent really spoke to u but read ur post this morning and my thoughts were with u hoping for it all to work out perfect for ur big day. its such a big build up and for it not to happen, i cant imagine how u feel. my mum went to have rhinoplasty when she was younger and the surgeon didnt turn up and she took it as it wasnt meant to be so look at it as today wasnt your day and it will happen on the right day for u at the right place at the right time.

thinking of you hun, sarah xx

Awww anna hun. How sad. U are such a good person to not slag mya on the forum. Seems like mya are dropping in their high standards and that is reaaaaaaly sad as they were miles above transform and the hosp group!!

Sooo gutted for u hun, but u are sooo right not to just get what they offer u when u had spent ages pondering

Hope ur ok and all the best for the company u choose next. Hope u get what u want hunni xxxxx

Anna,so sorry thinghs didn’t work out for you today.I honestly thought they’d just put u later on the list until they’d got hold of the implants u wanted.I can’t imagine how this has affected u psycholically cos I know I had to mentally prepare myself for this as well as all the physical stuff like arranging time off work.I’m sure MYA appreciate u not making a fuss on here but at the end of the day it’s a forum for all experiences good and bad to be shared.Hope u get sorted with another company hon,have heard good things about transform and Harley medical group xx

Hi ladies, just want to say that this is not all MYAs fault today – there were other issues with the implant provider too, in fact i’d say they’re the ones that need to seriously pull their socks up, plus the couriers. However, I do feel that MYA should as general practice call the hospital before a bank holiday to check everything is in order and implants are all delivered in anticipation for patients on the next operation day – surely that is common sense. Anyway I don’t want to slag the company off, I just want to move on from this. Unfortunately I just think that moving on cannot be done with MYA, which is why I will be seeking having my operation elsewhere xx

anna this is horrible i can not believe you have gone through this today, i feel sick to my stomach for you i only hope you are ok and try not to feel too upset about it although i think you are really brave to even come on here and tell us, stay positive babe you will get your boobies.

So sorry to hear about ur day anna1979, I had Dr C and I do know that he also works with Transform xxx

Sorry to hear your horrible news anna. Hope you get what you want as quickly as possible. x

Thank you so much for all of your comments, really they mean so much! Sisterhood at its best xxxxxx

Oh no, this is above and beyond the worst experience! As we all know the countdown to op day is intense to say the least! I’m a bit nervous now as i’m in for my op at highgate with Dr C next tuesday which is also after the bank holiday. Do you think i should call them today to ensure they have my impalnts ordered? My PC is Nadja.

P.S. If i hadn’t gone with Mya i would have selected BMI as another of my friends had her’s done with them and although they’re a little more expensive they do look amazing if that helps? xx
