Pre Op

So, after having consultations at both transform and harley med I had my consultation at mya. This was back in may. I had my initial consultation in st albans with my PC Hollie Green, she is lovely. I decided that I felt the happiest with mya and wanted to meet with their surgeons, although I wasn’t sure about how I was going to finance my op so I didn’t book anything there and then.

I had a lot going on and it just didn’t feel the right time so I didn’t decide to book to see a surgeon until this october. I still hadn’t sorted my finances out and decided that I wouldn’t go to my consultation with the surgeon unless I knew I had the funds, didn’t want to get my hopes up. I rung mya and applied for their v12 finance and was accepted. I rung mya the same day and booked my consultation with mr singh for october 19th at london holborn. Mr singh was the only surgeon I met with but I was so pleased with him that I decided I didn’t need to meet with anyone else. He was really friendly and professional and explained exactly what he could do for me and whether what I was asking was realistic. I booked my op straight after for november 9th 3 weeks time and was able to have my pre-ops while I was there at the clinic.

After that the worrier in me kicked in hehe and as most of you know I was a nightmare!.. In the 3 weeks leading up to my op I asked so many questions about every little thing. The girls on this forum have been absolutly amazing! Answering all my questions and calming me down. I’m sure if it wasn’t for all of you I would have backed out and not gone through with it. Thankyou so so much!

Monday prior to op – phone call with my admission time 1pm eeeeeeeeeek!! Now it feels more real!

Day Before the Op

Leave everything to the last minute, as per usual with me. Work until 5pm and still not got bag packed, last gym session for few weeks straight after work boooo! Then home, call my friend and drag her to the 24hour supermarket with me to get last bits lol. We go out for food and I don’t get home until 9pm. Still not packed oops! I go to bed about 11ish. Nerves now kicked in big time!

Day of the Op

Aaaahhhhh!! I wake up at 8:30am and lay there in shock that today is the day, finally get myself up around 9am, craving a cuppa tea but can’t have one as I am told to fast 6 hours before 1pm. I run myself a bath and get myself ready. Finally get my bag packed lol. I have to get a train to the hospital so I book a taxi into town at 11 because my first train is at 11:14. Taxi is late and I don’t get to town until 11:20 miss train oops, great start! Need to kill some time until the next train at 11:50 so I do a bit of shopping. Buy a lovely cardigan and some boots lol. Get on the train to kings cross and then a tube to highgate get there for around half 12. I have to walk from the tube station up a bloody great big hill to get to the hospital and get lost loads! Lol when I finally make it its 5 past 1 so kinda good I killed some time or I would have been too early lol.

I’m shown to my room by the nurse, and unpack my stuff as I’m an overnight stay. About an hour later the nurse comes back and takes my blood pressure. I then get to put on my sexy gown, stockings and paper knickers… Must admit I look hot! Haha. She takes me out into the corridor and I am weighed and my height is taken. She then gives me a pregnancy test to do.. Negative phew lol. Now the waiting starts!

I just lay on my bed watching tv and on my phone trying to pass the time. Gets to about 7pm and I am starving now haven’t eaten for 24hours. Mr singh comes in and draws on me he tells me that there’s one more person then me shouldn’t be longer than an hour. However its gone 10pm by the time the nurse comes to walk me down to theatre. Everyone is really appologetic and I was checked on loads though all the nurses are very friendly so although by now I am tired and hungry and its been a long day I don’t really mind so much.

Laying on the operating bed I am now so nervous I feel sick and feel really emotional keep staring at the clock. Mr singh comes in to talk to me and then then the lady comes in to give me my GA I feel a really bad pain in my arm and get worried I say to her my arm really hurts she just smiled and said that’s a side affect bext thing I know I’ve woken up with boobies! Didn’t even realise I’d fallen asleep. Tbh I can’t really remember when I woke up thinking back to it.

The nurse asks if I’m hungry but I feel too tired to eat she says I need to try so I just have a piece of toast and a cup of tea. I then drift in and out of sleep for a few hours. Come back onto the forum to tell everyone I’m done. The nurse helps me to go to the toilet I feel really dizzy and ask her to help me get into my pjs but I felt to sick so end up gettin half dressed and having to stop. She said she’ll come back soon to finish gettin me dressed. I fall asleep for a little while and then wake up and want to finish getting dressed I start putting my pj bottoms on and notice there is blood all over my top and covers and arms… Major panic! Think its my boob! Call the nurse and she finds I’ve pulled the tube out of my hand and tells me off. Oops. I get cleaned up and dressed. Text crampy to see how she’s doing as her op was the day before. I think we stayed up chatting until about 4am too excited to sleep hehe.

Post Op – Day One

Woke up in the hospital about 7am only 3 hours sleep! Had my breakfast early around 7:30am- poached egg on toast. I kept getting told off lastnight for trying to go to the toilet by myself so I called the nurse to help me to go. Have a peek at my new boobies but they are all taped up so can’t see them properly yet. I felt really sick and dizzy so I went back to sleep after until about 10:30am.

A new nurse comes in and says because my op was so late I can’t leave until the afternoon and she keeps bringing me apple juice yummy. Mr singh comes to see me about 12ish and the nurse brings my tablets in shortly after and says I can go when I’m ready. I call my friend and he comes to pick me up around 1pm.

Car journey home isn’t too bad we get back quite quick and he makes sure I’m settled then he leaves. I have a shallow bath (don’t know if that was a bit soon) put new pjs on and spend the rest of the day resting. I’m really tired and end up going to sleep around 7pm until the next morning.

Post Op – Day Two

Well I woke up and sickness has gone. But now feel sore in my ribs and lower boobs. Boobs feel really really heavy and like someones sitting on my chest or like I have two bowling balls on my chest. As the day goes on my chest gets tighter and I feel breathless. I’m ok when I’m sitting down its just when I move or stand up so I make sure I rest a lot today. Finding the tape really restrictive and can’t wait until sunday so I can take it off. Go to bed about 9pm finding it hard to sleep sitting up so don’t get to sleep until about 11.

Post Op – Day Three – Today

Woke up about 9am. Incisions feeling more sore and one of my nipples is numb. The pain in my lower boobs and ribs is getting a bit better but the heavyness is still there. Still in my pjs watching tv thats all I’ve done all day so far hehe… Good excuse for duvet days lol. I think I’m going to have a wash and get myself dressed soon though and go to visit a friend think ill feel better to do something with my day even if I am just moving from one sofa to another lol.

I will keep updating this when I can. Sorry about the essay lol I’ve babbled on!

Hello Reg,

I haven’t been on here for ages as I was away, but I had a quick read through your posts and noticed you were a bit concerned that your boobs turned out too big and they don’t feel like yours. As all the girls on here said, your breasts are swallen and need to be accepted by your body which will take some time.

I really hope that evrything will turn up the way you wanted and that you will be very happy about the outcome in the end.

I’m looking forward to see some more happy and possitive posts from you on here and wishing you quick and safe recovery:)

Lots of love xx

Aww thankyou karolina I think its just me being impatient and because its a big change will take some getting used to I’m sure when they settle abit and feel more like mine ill love them. Thankyou very much hun xx

Tried to loom at your photos won’t let me won’t let menupload mine for some reason xx

Day 4 post-op

Woke up today really excited to get my tape off later. In more pain today feel like I’m being crushed constantly I think I’ve been trying to do too much too soon so I’ve got to rest more today. Deff duvet day all day. 4pm still waiting until I can take tape off and after some peer pressure from the girls – you know who you naughty ones are I decide to take It off a few hours early. Once the tapes off its such a releif feel much less restricted but unfortunatly I’m not happy with what I see they seem massive and like two big cones. Go into a sulk for rest of the day and night. Hehe.

Day 5 post-op

Wake up today and go straight into bathroom to look at my cone boobs but am surprised that the swelling seems to have gone down over night and they are not cones anymore much nicer rounder shape yay! Like them a lot more although still think they are too big. I’m back to work today booo! So off I go to work at 10:30am. Last night was my worst night yet for pain and today is no better the crushing is awful. I feel like someones pushing a giant weight down on my chest and its giving me hot sweats and making me breathless. I’m worried so called the nurse but she just tells me to keep taking my meds and call back if it gets worse. Horrible day at work because I don’t feel well. Get home at 6:30 and have early night.

Day 6- today

For some reason I wake up and feel fine the crushing has almost completely gone and my boobs feel 100 times less heavy.. Just overnight weird. Had another peek this morning and starting to love them! … Deff was just too impatient and had boobie blues. Sorry I’ve been rubbish at adding pics I was in a sulk lol but not anymore will get my butt in gear and upload them. If any of you girlies have your ba and think you hate your boobs give them time honestly don’t be impatient like me because they get better and better everyday you’ve just got to make sure you don’t judge them too quickly xxx

Awww Reggie great news and glad you liking them now!! im with ya on the crushing thing seems to come and go with me but guess all a waiting game xxx

Thanks hunny… And yeahh just gotta be patient. Xx

Aww Hun this has been so helpful!! I’m glad you have. Shared your first few days and all the different feelings you have gone through.

I’m glad you r starting to love your boobs! Can’t wait to see how your getting on

Xx
