Hey lovely, my surgery was on April 20th with MYA in Preston. I had serious serious anxiety leading up but on the day it literally just disappeared because i wanted this for so long.
Surgery day was a breeze from admission to leaving. Nurses were so kind and caring, surgeon and anaesthetist were also really lovely. You walk yourself to the room, get lots of sticky monitors put on you, and then lie down for the cannula to be put in. They’re talking to you the whole time so you forget about it, usually music playing too (mine was Frankie goes to Hollywood – Relax, which had me in fits of giggles because obviously you aren’t that relaxed, but it really helped!). They give you this thing that makes you feel a bit drunk, your arm goes a bit cold, and thats the last thing i remember til i woke up! You’re tight when you wake up but its manageable and they keep checking on you, and you can ask for more pain relief if you need it and they’re happy to give it.
I think i waffled a but there, but I really hope this has helped and hasn’t made you any more worried, promise its so easy, id do it all over again tomorrow no worries xxx
