Help girls I'm so confused and my ops in 5 days!!!!!!

So my ops in 5 days firstly my main struggle at the moment is stopping smoking! I’ am so worried about this nicotine test that apparently happens obviously I’m trying my best to cut down /quit did any one else have this problem I’m at the Manchester surgery with dr traynor & also my second concern is depression as I have suffered from depression for years and I have read girls have been turned down becusse of this!!! Only days before there operation! I’m completely in the right mind for this surgery I’ve waited since I was 18 I’m now 22 so it wasn’t just a rushed desision I’m so stressed with all these worries and seeing other girls problems now panic has set in has any of you girls had similar problems I’ll be absolutely devistated if I get this far to be turned away ??? helllllp !!!

I had my op in London and I didn’t have any sort of test for the nicotine. I smoked right up until the day of my surgery just didn’t smoke for about 5 hours before. And I’m smoking again after but I had to by silk cut silver with 0.1 nicotine in them as other cigs were too strong and make me feel sick but I still wanted to smoke. On the depression side I can’t help love but try not to panic if you can, if you feel fine in yourself they will see that, if they see you too panicky or nervous even though it’s natural when going for surgery they could think it’s all to do with the depression! Hope you get them done, just be yourself and think positive, I wasn’t nervous until I saw the theatre doors haha, good luck love xx

Thanks doll I’m going to buy some silk cut then and just have like 1 a day then try not to have any before surgery how long ago was your op and as for the depression side I clearly remember speaking to my surgeon and he said I had my head screwed on because I had waited so long so I’m tryna hold onto that and I’ll refere back to that if there is an issue I just want it over and done with now I’m mega stressed ?? xx

Hi saicha, if i were you i wouldnt mention your depressiom if you can help it as ive read that girls can be turned away on the day xxxx

@saichalouisedunn I had my op 2 weeks ago, I was petrified they would do the test but on the day I forgot all about it and then after I realised they didn’t even ask me about my smoking before I went to theatre. Just try your best to cut down, I went from 20 a day to 10 so to me that was a big cut down! Who is your surgeon? I had dr Andrea. Going back to the depression it sounds like your surgeon is happy with you if he said that. If he had any worries I’m sure he would of said by now ☺️ Xx

@saichalouisedunn I am the same, st my pre op the nurse said they will test me for nicotine and that I need to give up 2 weeks before the surgery and it it’s positive on the day then my surgery will not go ahead. She said I can’t have a vapor, patches or gum as they all contain nicotine, I said that is really unfair like they should tell you that at least a month before as I just presumed I could have the vapour as its not a fag. It’s been so hard like I honestly don’t even know what to do with myself, I’ve ended up buying a vapor with 0mg of nicotine just to take the edge off and it’s not really helping but each day it gets easier. Go and buy a vapor with no nicotine if your really struggling but it really is best to stop smoking I just don’t think it’s worth it and I really would be gutted if my surgery got cancelled xx

Hey girls thanks for the comments I’ve got my self a vapour and cut down the fags to a minimum &changed brand to the silk cut silver as one other ladie posted about before & I did mention I had a history of depression to my pre op nurse I’m just hoping my doctor says I’m fine to have it done if not I’ll go mad i keep replaying scenes in my head if they say I can’t have the op I’m like a raving loonatic at the min I just can’t wait for it all to be over xxx

Also if the can cancel you days before do you get all your money back because I’ve paid upfront and I’ll defo not be going with mya if the refuse me surgery the first time I guess I’m just panicing xx

I dunno this is why I’m not smoking because I paid on my mums credit card so would be fuming if they cancelled and getting a refund would be a long dragged out process

Girls I have received my admission time and also purchased the bra I think I was just worrying for nothing hopefully this time next week I’ll be able to post my before and after a I’ll also keep you updated with surgery to help other girls who are worried like me xxxx

Hey Hun, my op is tomorrow and I’m schizoaffective (it’s a form of schizophrenia) all I did was get an extra gp letter to prove my mental stability and a letter from my pscyhiatrist. I’m also a heavy smoker but I’ve been using a 0mg vape which has been really hard haven’t had a fag in over 5 days but I plan on smoking after. My op is in London, i will also be furious if I get turned away tomorrow!!!!! But will let you know xx
