Ahhh im realy hoping im still sleepy off the ga, im travelling from manchester back to newcastle. Its a long way to be in pain! Got my v-pillow at the ready. x x x

Ha ha janey, i had a horrendous labour so im sure ill be ok, just started to get nervous today and i dont know why ive never felt nervous at all yet and now im terrirfied! x x x

Every time you go over a bump, hold onto ya boobs! ha ha! it hurts a little , but you ,ll be fine!! also if like me you have been through child birth, do not worry at all about having a boob job, its nothing! > XX ha ha XX

hi gtikay07 the journey is not to bad your not driving yourself home though are you just make sure you take plenty of pillows to cushion you from little bumps good luck for may. Leanne xxx

Hi i had a 5 hour drive,took a pillow with me for the drive back,it was fine just couldnt wait to get home,i thought i would sleep but didnt,you will be fine,i had a loverly lady driver take me and bring me home,had no problems at all,the only thing was i couldnt open or close the car door,but my loverly driver helped me,honestly you have nothing to worry about,good luck with your opp xx

no probs at all you will be fine – just expect to feel useless for 3 days…e.g. i couldnt even reach for the remote control on the floor (
but if you prepare yourself u will be fine…just make sure everything is close by for you…and look forward to day 4 onwards when i promise things get easier..

my biggest mistake was not preparing myself for how immobile and useless i was…then day 4 came and it was amazing )

am 3 weeks post op tomorrow xx

Thanks alot leanne, my sister and friend are coming with me so ill have them two to help me out. Im going to feel like such a invalid. x x x

the girl i was with slept loads….i didnt but i was fine…think the tablet was called tramadol and they are fab,,,you feel proper spaced and nice )

just careful when you get out the car and take it easy….good luck xx

Ah thanks leanne ill try my best im realy hoping ill just sleep. x x x

hey poppy i did the same journey and it was just fine…..there was no ga left in me but they gave me a very heavy painkiller about 30 mins before the journey and it did the trick…and cos most the journey is M62 then M1/A1 you hardly feel it…..just try not to laugh cos even that hurt me hahaha xx

hi all im booked for the 14th may at highgate and i live 3 hours away lol im driving down the day before as my sister in law is coming with me ( ans also having it done same day) so we are booking into hotel close by the night before so we get a good nights sleep and fully ready for surgery without all hassle of travelling there same day. Problem is im dreading the journey back.
What experiences have any of you had with this? xx

:bigsmile:Hi, I had my op, and uplift, last friday evening. Stayed in swiss cottage the night before, so a stress free arrival day, and good restaurants. The day was long but as soon as all started felt totally relaxed with the professionals.
The journey home, just got on the road as soon as I could, journey of 130 miles, had a cheap soft pillow from asda, for the seat belt. Stopped at Heston services for a coffee and then again at leigh delemare about 100 miles. Absolutely no problems at all, and was wondering when it was all going to kick in….good news for me, it didn’t! The even better news is,it hasn’t yet either. I have followed all the instructions to the letter, and all appears ok. So don’t worry you will be fine. Just wish I hadn’t waited years to get it done! xx

I was so sedated that I didn’t even notice the drive home. You’ll be fine x

im on 11 may and my hubbys driving me back to plymouth the nxt day 4 hours xxx

I’m at highgate 14th may too and not sure whether to book at hotel or not at the mo! In as a day case and about 2.5-3 hours from home! Hubby says he’ll drive back but I’m just worried I wont feel up to the journey – although it’ll be good to get home in my own bed!! x

it took me 5 hours there 4 hrs back…

i had to get a lift to my city centre, megabus, 2 tubes and then walked from highgate tube station to highgate hospital by myself..

then the next day i got a taxi from the hospital to victoria coach station, where i met my dad, and had to wait 2 hours to get a megabus back to cardiff then i we had to walk to my dads car and drive home.

hi there – i had a journey from manchester to newcastle and it was fine – just take it easy.

its only the 30mph roads where its a bit uncomfy, once you on the motorway its fine – the worst part for me was the driver making me laugh cos it hurt so much!!

but they give you plenty of pain relief so you’ll prob fall asleep anyway….just be very careful when you get out of the car not to push the door or strain too much xx

my journey was home was nearly 4hrs…..just make sure you’ve hade some pain killers, and with any luck, you’ll still have some of the anaesthetic in your system and you’ll sleep most of the way :bigsmile:

Hi hunny, I’m 4 days post op now and my journey home was fine. It took just over an hour to get home but i had no pain at all. I had my V pillow in car too so i was nice and comfy. I was still num when i was coming home so i was fine with the bumps in the road.
The only part which was uncomfortable was getting out of the car lol. I have read that some ppl found it uncomfy on their way home tho….? I’ve had almost no pain at all, just a little uncomfortable getting upin the mornin. not had pain killers since day 2. U should be fine. Every1’s different tho x x x
