Less than 1 DAY TO GO! My story so far…

So tomorrow 7am is the day! I’m going to try and put every little detail in this topic of how it all goes so all you ladies who are still debating can have a view of how it may be for you from start to finish, remember everyone is different, healing time, consultations, EVERYTHING. So this is just my experience (hopefully it will be good haha)… So far – PRE OP:

So everything up to today has been great, I has my consultation back in August in Bristol clinic and everyone I spoke to has been lovely, really good at getting in contact, no rushing me to decide on sizes and just great really! Cannot fault the staff at Bristol.

I met my surgeon Mr C about 2 months ago. Now you have all probably read about this guy… He is a man of little words! lol. But he took all of my concerns into consideration and we decided that because I have what is called tubular breasts which is where the tissue is constricted meaning my breasts arent a lovely round shape, the tissue is sort of all behind the nipple making them look more tube shape… they’re hideous! Not as bad as photos google will chuck out at you but still, this is the main reason for having the BA cos I want to change the shape. Mr C listened to this and decided that I needed to have High profile implants to stretch the skin and give me the fullness underneath, and also that because I didnt want to go to big, 260 cc would be a good size, hopefully meaning the end result will be around 34C-small D. I am currently a 34 A/B. This discussion took him all of 15 mins haha, he had a look at the tissue I have around my boobs and said I could opt for a mammoplasty where they would remove my nipple and reposition it but it wasnt neccessary only if I wanted a really perfect result… Well, I decided the risks outweigh the benefits, I didnt want to pay an extra 1500 to have this done and as it wasnt a neccesity and he said I could easily have it done at a later stage if I wasnt happy, but chances are I will be, I am just having the standard BA.

So I then had my pre op about 3 weeks ago just because of the christmas period… It will probably be closer to the op for most of you. And I got to try on special implants in a top to see how I might look… I was happy!! Girls if they give you this option, do it. Or do the rice test, its so good to get an idea (it wont be exact, remember these are going under the skin not over) but its an idea!

We then had a little discussion about the do’s and donts and I was told about a week to a few days before the op I would get my admission time. I was rang on Thursday last week and told it would be 7am Tuesday morning. So tomrorow it is! eeek! I’ve booked 2 weeks off work… I work in Lush so not too strenous, only on delivery days but thought it would be best! I’m heading up to London today and staying in a hotel nearby with my mum. We’re staying overnight and then tomorrow night too just so im close to the hospital if anything goes wrong. I am a daycase so I will probably be discharged tomorrow afternoon.

I’m terrified to be honest haha! Excited too but nervous as hell, hoping the GA isnt too horrible and that I dont feel sick after or in too much pain! But I’m going to keep updating this topic daily for you all and tell you as much as I can. I am going to be going into a lot of detail haha, so be prepared for stories about how im constipated, bloated, gassy! hahaha all of it. I figure I’d rather know EVERYTHING I can before my op just to prepare mentally!

So off I go to London now girls! Wish me luck and feel free to add me as I will be putting up before and after pics message me with anything you like and I will try and reply and aim to get on here every day with little updates heehee!

xxxxxxx

Good luck babe xxxx

Good luck hun hope all goes well, and you’ve taught me something new at least, I never knew it would be 1500 extra to fix tubular breasts, guessed it would be more but not that much! Hope they look good after as there’s no way I’d be able to afford another 1500 for mine either (I’m having enough trouble trying to save as it is!) xxx

Thanks everyone! I’m in London now eeeek! Sophiepatterson I think it is all priced on the individual my lovely so it could well be less, it’s worth asking at your consultation and they will go through all the prices and options hun. but yeah, it was lots more but it’s a much trickier procedure so I guess it makes sense. Having a scar around my nipples and a longer healing time put me off too really but I’m gonna see how my nipples look after cos my surgeon did say it could be fine anyway and the puffiness around my nipples could correct itself through just having implants. We’ll see!

Good luck hunni. I’m gonna add u having mine Sunday xxx

All the best Kelly53!

Keep us posted!

xx

***UPDATE!!!***

Sorry girlies I’ve been in and out of sleep since the op yesterday and I’ve felt so weak I could barely have my laptop on me! But here’s a little update as I’m feeling much perkier (excuse the pun haha) today

DAY OF OP: So bascially I arrived at the hospital a little bit earlier than intended due to far less traffic on the road! Which was good but a bit of waiting around meant all sorts went through my head! Mum kept reassuring me it would be ok though and I remembered all the comments from you girls so I was keeping positive! I arrived in reception and a lady behind the desk told me to confirm some details and sign that I was all happy to go ahead etc. Had to confirm doctor, d.o.b etc all standard procedure! Then a nurse came to get me and my mum and took us upto the room. First impressions were… She did not say a word to me basically. Asked how I was and I said a bit scared and all she did was mumble “oh” back. That kinda immediatly put me back into the negative mood but I decided not to think of it, and I didnt see that nurse again cos once I was in my room, another lady came in and gave me my stockings! THESE BABIES ARE TIGHT! Haha, and bloody hell I did not have a clue how they went on and it appeared I messed them up anyway cos after my op they had definitely changed haha! oops! embarrassing. but I got given lovely elasticy pant things, not paper ones just sorta mesh things… I was on my period so didnt need a pregnancy test but I wasnt told much like to wear a pad or tampon so I just went with a pad, figured it would be safer. I also got given my gown which was sexy as hell LOL. And told I was second to go in. Now the room was pretty nice actually, massive, clean and cosy for a hospital! But very warm which I will go into in a bit…

So I just led on the bed, thirsty as hell but couldnt drink and popped on here to reply to some messages from you lovelies! and had a browse on Topshop at the undies section heehee then I must have just drifted asleep! Before I knew the nurse was back in testing my blood pressure which is spot on perfect yay! Then she went and Mr C came in to draw on me… He kinda worried me a bit cos he mentioned that obviously I was trickier to open up the tight fold under my boobs and that my scar may not be hidden completely or it may not even give me the shape I want but hey, what could I do then back out? NO WAY! So I just begged him to try his best lol and off he went!

About 10 mins later the aneasthetist came in and asked me questions, allergies, do I smoke, drink – nope, nope! And popped on wrist bands with all my details on me and told me to come on down! EEEEEEEK! It was all happening! So I said bye to my mum who looked white as a ghost at this point haha! and then went down to the op room. Now girls… If any of you are at highgate there is a VERY hot guy working in the operating theatre! I think he was an anesasthetist but I didnt really pay much attention to what he said, just his face haha! PHWOAR! Nice man! and there I was hair scraped back, no make up looking gross and he was about to seem my yukky boobs! greaaaaat. Everyone in the op theatre were much more chattier and put me at ease than my nurse who wasnt English and I found her so hard to understand! They told me I’d feel a little scratch and the needle was in. I felt nothing ha and then the hot guy told me to think of a nice beach PFFFFT I thought, I’ll imagine your face instead haha! And then all of a sudden my arm went really heavy and tingly and I felt sick. The last thing I said was “I FEEL SICK!” Then I woke up and it was all done! Sickness had gone but I woke up crying my eyes out! Dont even know why but apparently it is a side effect to be emotional after a GA. Felt like a wally but fit guy wasnt around any more… I even asked the nurse if he was there cos I was crying and wanted a hug haha! Oh dear!! Luckily he wasnt! I got wheeled back upstairs saw my mum and pretty much passed out then for an hour or so and kept drifting in and out of sleep. The nurse came in and took my blood pressure then every 20 mins or so and gently poked my boobs, said they’re nice and soft and that Mr C said it all went really well and he was pleased. YAY! Then I sorta woke up a bit and was told I needed to eat and drink so I was given some toast and water… couldnt really hold much but managed! I had some painkillers and just sorta led there in a bit of a daze for a bit. I had new boobs! YAY! I looked down and they were all bandaged up and I still havent taken them off yet, bit scared to but I wasnt in too much pain at all, a bit of discomfort but not half as much pain as I thought I would be in! Although I did have a really ITCHY FACE! Ha! This is apparently a side effect of morphine.. look at me getting all the side effects! so that was annoying cos every time i reached up to scratch it hurt my stitches a bit grrr! It was also REALLY hot in my room! I had to open the doors and my mum was there freezing her pants off but I was a big sweaty mess! Heating was up so high and took ages to cool down once we switched it off but I gradually got cooler then I think I went back to sleep again for a bit then woke up to have some lunch. I had a tuna sandwich and some green and blacks ice cream which was YUM! Some more water and apple juice. Mr C then came in a little bit later and said he was happy with the shape, and that he thinks it went well, they just need to settle out now and hopefully it’ll all be fine. I dunno quite what to make of the guy really haha he’s not very reassuring but I just said ok thank you and that was it! The nurse asked me if I was ready to go around 3ish and I said I’d like to stay a bit longer cos I was SO tired and so she said ok stay till around 4ish. So we went at 4 back to the hotel and my mum sorta make a little mound of pillows on the bed to prop me up and I fell straight asleep! I kept waking up then for about 10-15 mins then drifting back off then I got up, and had a wet wipe wash… kinda tricky when you can barely move lol and got some of the yellow dye they use to disinfect your skin off and eyed up my boobs in the mirror, took some more pain killers and went to sleep then. Mum woke me up every 4 hours to take more painkillers and had to keep helping me sit up cos I couldnt use my arms at all and she needed to fluff the pillows up cos I kept slipping down but overall it wasnt too bad sleeping upright! bit of a numb bum and I think it will probs get worse as Ive got 6 more nights to go of it but so far its bearable.

Day 1: We woke up this morning took my antibiotics that I have to take for 3 days and mum helped me change into a button up top and jogging bottoms. Had my V pillow in the car too and she lowered the seat so I wasnt so upright and could sleep and I pretty much did all the way home! just got back and I’ve taken the bandages off and put the Macom on and I’m pretty happy with how they look! They’re a bit cone shape at the moment and pretty solid but I expected that and I was told they’d change shape lots in the next few weeks and soften up but im happy with the size! just hope they dont get too smaller really cos they’re only 260cc but overall it wasnt a bad experience at all so all you girls who have this to come dont panic at all! its all fine and I’m SUCH a wimp with pain and I’m coping ok even left it 5 hours between my last pain killers and now so thats pretty good going for me! I’m gonna take some pics but bear with me cos I just feel pretty weak at the moment and all I wanna do is sleep. Will aim to have some up by the end of the week though

Thank you all for the messages of good luck and to those who messaged me individually, it’ll take me ages to reply back to you all so I’m not ignoring you or anything haha I just thought I’d write everything on here!

love and kisses! xxx

Crikey I do get carried away and write mini essays don’t I?! haha! x

So glad you are ok hunny.. I’m meeting him next week.. Lol.. EXCITED!!! Xxxxxx

Thanks lovely! Thank you for your messages too! Eeeep! exciting indeed! He’s a quiet man but dont be put off he’s done wonders for so many of us on here and now me included! Good luck with the consultation and listen to his advice hun, he knows what he’s talking about xxxx

I know.. I feel much more prepared and confident about meeting him.. Thanks to you and all the other girls on thus forum.. I’m even quite ok with having low profiles if I need to now.. Seen some lovely ones today on another thread.. I cant wait tobe at the stage you are now.. Lol xxxxxx

DAY 2: Not feeling too bad at all today! I got a decent amount of sleep last night. I’m still taking pain killers every 4-5 hours and arnica supplement for swelling, vitamin E and drinking LOTS of water! All good for reducing swelling girlies! I think I roughly woke up every 3 hours last night but sleeping upright isnt all that bad with lots of pillows! ive been putting a hot water bottle sorta bottom of my back near my bum which is helping with the acheyness! I had another wet wipe wash today and I can reach around my body which is an improvement and my pyjama top feels less tight and does up easier around my boobs so I think the swelling is coming down. Still taking it easy though but trying to walk about the house as much as I can cos it helps with the healing process if you stay active! Still cant really support myself at all or prop myself up with my arms so leaving it another day to have a shallow bath. I REALLY wanna wash my hair but i’ve just got mum to tie it back and put a thick headband on lol. Boobs look much the same today, bit more bruising but they’re still really cone like! just want them to rounden up and drop asap but I know it takes a while xxx
