Hey! So I got to hospital at 11am shaking feeling sick with nervwe and experience a mixture of emotions, one minute thinking shit why have I booked this and the next thinking OMG I’m going to have boobs!
The nurse came and showed me to my room and did pregnancy test, blood pressure and gave me my sexy gown and paper pants to put on! After this my nerves had completely gone, they really really do put you at ease.
Then later on the surgeon came and drew on me then the anaesthetist came and asked me some questions did all the blood pressure listened to my chest etc. I went to surgery about 5:30pm – I had SUCH a long wait, I was so bored and hungry!
Didn’t even feel the cannula go in, one minute I was chatting away about aperol spritz and the next awake demanding the lights be turned off hahaha.
Woke up from the anaesthetic in theatre then straight back to sleep and woke up again in recovery around 6:30 and got wheeled back to my room about 7. Had regular blood pressue checks and was given water, biscuits, toast and tea!
I really don’t know why I worried so much, I promise it is absolutely fine!! In fact, I enojoyed the whole experience (apart from the 6.5 hour wait), especially the anaesthetic which is the one and only thing I was worried about before!
Barely slept last night, it’s a nightmare sleeping upright but so far my boobs aren’t causing me much pain they’re just achey. It’s my back that hurts most cos of sleeping sat up!
Hope this helps and your op goes well! Trust me, I’m the biggest fanny ever and believe me when I say there’s no need to worry 🙂
Xxxxx
