    Hello! I have my op on Wednesday, so excited and my brothers boyfriend is kindly picking up after surgery but was wondering if anyone knows roughly how long you are at the hospital for, my admission time is 8am, I know this won’t be operating time but can anyone hint at how long the day might be!

    Thank you xxx

    I had my surgery at 9, was back in my room by 12.15 and left for home at 3.30pm! Think they like you to have eaten, drunk and done a wee before you go. Good luck!! xx

    Yes my admission time was 7.00am when down at 10.20am and woke up around 1ish. But didn’t leave to go home till around 7.45pm so got to watch emmerdale lol … be prepared for a long day Hun as you have to wait for your surgeon to come back around and depends on how many ppl they have to do surgery on and see them afterwards and then your doctor to give your tablets for you to go home with and they won’t let you come without a chaperone they have to sign in to well they did at London Fitzroy or leave the building without it. And Stacey lol you had abit of a kip didn’t you haha made the most of it xx

    Haha Emma I was so shocked at the time when I woke up!! My surgeon was a bit of a perfectionist though and he said I was a challenge as had to make them even by dropping one of my creases lower and he put staples around my nipples and because I had anatomical implants they are usually around 2 hours to fit anyway as a lot harder than round implants to fit but I honestly felt like I had a lovely long sleep!!

    Hey my admission time was 8am I was first on the list and was allowed home at 2pm they just like to make sure you have eaten something and are able to get up to go to the toilet, good luck with everything x x
