Panicking !!

My op is less than 48 hours away and I’m petrified , how safe are these ops and will I wake up ?! Haha i sound mental but I’m so so scared

Chick you will be fine don’t worry xx

I hate it I keep thinking I’m going to die and not wake up from anaesthesia like be allergic or something even though I’ve had it before with my boob job think I’m worried as you have to be intubated with rhinoplasty xx

@Chloe my op is on Tuesday 7am and I’m panicking as well so you are not alone if that helps….good luck hun xxx

I just think in selfish because is leave behind my daughter if anything happens , I’m thinking the worst of everything 🙁 xx good luck to you too x

@Chloe lovely you will not be leaving anybody behind….think positive….you were fine when you go BA so Im sure you will be all okay…..I never had any surgery and having GA and being totally not in control of my own body scares the hell out of me….but Im not the first one and definitely not the last one. Best wishes hun and think of thr best not the worst xxx

i must be on the only weird one lol i am looking forward to the anasthetic, i love being put out and that feeling you get with it lol if i could bottle it and have it everynight i would be one happy bunny lol x

@chloe omg!!! This was me, I said to the anesthetist as they were putting me out I have babies so please don’t let anything happen to me! They were giggled up. I worried for weeks and as soon as I got put to sleep I was awake again totally not worth the panic chick! I know where your coming from but you will be grand 🙂 xx

I was exactly the same chloe! The anaesthetist thought it was hilarious how scared all the girls get, my heart was racing ten to the dosen but he and the nurse were so calming and reassured me and everything went fine. It was actually my favourite part of the whole day, if someone knocked on my door with some anaesthetic right now I’d love it haha. Try not to worry – you will be fine and will be saying the same as we all do after 🙂 good luck xxxxx

Really ? I’m
Just convinced I’ll be that one!! I google how likely r is to die and seen people have died from rhinoplasty before omg !!!!

Good luck girl!! Be excited youre getting a new nose for christmas! xx

I’m in Tuesday and don’t worry I have been put to sleep quite a few times it’s nice and relaxing ! U go to sleep and u wake up like no time has passed ! It’s really ok

It isn’t nice as I’m so scared I won’t wake up and not knowing scares me so so much .

It’s not the being put to sleep that you should be worried about, that really is quite a lovely feeling. It’s trying not to say stupid and senseless things to the hospital staff when you come back round. First time I was put under I vaguely remember saying all sorts of rubbish and making the nurses and porter laugh lots. I still feel embarrassed thinking about it now :s
Second time was much better, I only did one stupid thing. when they’re trying to wake you up they call your name gently to you. I kinda shouted “yes I’m up!” back at them as if I we’re replying to my mum when she used to try and get me up for school.
Honestly don’t worry. And stop researching it, the Internet is a horrible place if you’re looking to worry yourself more. Let the professionals do what they do every day! You just worry about recovering afterwards 🙂
Please don’t panic, you really will be fine x

Youve had it before, youll be fine. I can understand when youve not had ga before but you know youre not allergic so theres not much to worry about. If any of us genuinely thought we were going to die on the table we wouldnt go through with it. Im pretty sure youre in safe hands x

Hey Chloe 🙂

I had closed Rhino with Mr Gonschior a few days ago. It was absolutely fine and so am I! Like you I was paranoid, almost convinced I was going to get a blood clot, or something. This is a fact – you’re statistically more likely to come to harm travelling by road on your journey to the hospital than you are during your surgery. The staff I had at the Fitzroy couldn’t have been more caring and supportive. The whole thing went by so quickly, within an hour of coming ’round I was drinking tea and on Skype with my boyfriend! The fact that you’ve been through anaesthetic before and was fine makes it even more unlikely anything will go wrong.This time next week you’ll be feeling fine and will have been wearing your cast for nearly a week and will only have one week to go. The whole thing flies by, and is not a big deal AT ALL. All the best for tomorrow.

PS, even wearing my cast, my nose looks smaller and cuter. I can tell already it was the right thing to do. 🙂

Ahhh that’s good to know !! Reassuring to say the least ! How long did yours take ? I’m just so scared of not waking up! How are you feeling now ? Xx

good luck chloe. i feel sick thinking about mine. i was excited before but as the weeks are creeping up,, i feel soooo urgh scared and stressed out. i’ve never had G.A and i have so many allergies, i just hope this isn’t one them. x

My admittance time was 7.30am. I paid for a driver but because of London traffic we were half an hour late. The receptionist didn’t bat an eyelid, it was fine. Then at around 1, Mr Gonschior came to see me, we talked for 5 minutes, I signed the forms and he said the operation will be taking place in about an hour. In the end it was nearly two – apparently he was doing an open rhino that day and it ended up taking longer / being more complicated (they regularly do). All in all, from when I walked down to theatre to being back in my room it was about 1 hour and 20. When I woke up I was confused and crying, it was just the combination of all the anxiety beforehand and the drugs. Once you get back to your room, it’s peaceful and you’ll probably feel up to going online a bit, or watching TV.
I feel fine now 🙂 I won’t lie, obviously it’s an operation not a haircut and for the first few days I did feel weak, and would get tired out easily. I haven’t been in pain one single time. You know when you jump into a swimming pool and for 1 or 2 seconds you get that feeling of slight panic, like you can’t breathe? Recovery feels something like that but to a lesser degree. You just keep your mouth open, and stay distracted, and it’s fine. The part I was worried about was sleeping upright, but it’s been no problem. If I tried to lie down flat, I got the feeling of being smothered / drowning, just because you can’t breathe through your nose and the weight of the cast, in fact sleeping up is the only comfortable way to be.
I promise, it’s no worse than an ordinary common cold, in terms of feeling / sensation. I haven’t lost my sense of taste at all and have been eating normally. Drinking plenty of fluids is your best friend, the days I was a bit dehydrated I felt much worse.

In the run up tomorrow while you’re in your room, because it might be a few hours unfortunately, I would recommend staying distracted with nice things. Don’t keep googling rhinoplasty, it won’t help, every case and every nose is unique.

You’ll be fine. The anticipatory anxiety is the worst bit, the rest is fast and easy. xx

Wow so your admission was 7.30 and you didn’t get seen to for that long !! I hope I don’t have to wait that long!! Yea I’m trying to think as positively as I can . I’m finding it hard though I just think I’ll be the unlucky one who pops her clogs on the table lol!! Yea I’m not overly fussed about the recovery as I’ve had a ba and that was awful !!! Lol xx

I’ll have my fingers crossed for you tomorrow that they don’t keep you waiting so long. I was probably just unlucky. I wasn’t bothered about the recovery either, I just wanted to survive! The hour and 15 or so the operation took – an hour is nothing – it’s why I was confused when I woke up, I thought somehow in my drug addled mind that I was still waiting to have it done and got stressed / pissed off with the nurses, hopefully I wasn’t too rude *blush*. It’s just the drugs, they totally confuse your noodle. I really did feel afterwards when back in my room that it went so fast and is really no big deal. I walked like a little old lady to the bathroom mirror and could see immediately that my nose was smaller and a cute shape. 🙂

my surgery is a day case,, will i b upto getting the train back home do you think? :-/

Omg I said all sorts this 3rd round my partner recorded me saying all this stuff and talking about michel jacson the other 2 times I keep repeating my self ask wot time it was lol I love the the feeling of being put under more so last week as my was banging with a migraine that I wasn’t able to take any pain killers girls you will be all fine if my 1year old nice could do a 7hour op on her head this will be a nice walk n the park that’s they way u looked at it xx

Sherry, obviously it’s up to you, are you healthy in general? Personally, I think I would have found it a bit too much feeling weak, and then having people staring at my cast on the train. But I’ve read on here some other girls did it so it can be done! If you have absolutely no choice it’s definitely possible, if there’s any other option it would make it more comfortable for you.

Chloe, you won’t pop your clogs 🙂 I get what you mean entirely, I felt exactly the same. This time tomorrow you’ll be here saying it was fine and that you were worrying about nothing. I’d bet my last fiver on it, and I haven’t got very many of those left after paying for my operation. 😛
