    Hi Nikki, I haven’t had my op yet (having it next Monday) but noticed we are having the same implant size and the same surgeon. How was your whole experience yesterday? Did you go home the same day? I hope you feel more comfortable soon!!

    Hi @lorrun I was stuck between 375 and 400cc and Dr sleiter said he’ll try 400 if they look stuck on he’ll take them out and put 375 in but in the end I woke up with 400cc HP overs
    After surgery when I woke up I did start crying Cos I didn’t know what just happened I didn’t even realise the surgery had been done I thought I woke up and was waiting to get my boobs done haha
    But when I got to my room I was just really tired and had the shakes which is normal after the anaesthetic Once I stopped shaking I didn’t feel sick at all I just layed in bed for a while then the nurses come in asked if I wanted anything to drink and eat I had some toast with chocolate on and 2 cups of tea and felt absolutely fine after it was only when I got home and had to keep getting up to go toilet it’s just a sharp pain trying to push yourself up but yes I went home same day I got there at 10am was going down for my surgery about 11:45 then by the time I was allowed home was about 7pm but it goes fast when you’re there xx

    Had my op yesterday also used ice packs during the day didn’t need painkillers up until last night only as was feeling a bit achy around the shoulder area so popped 2 Nurofen aimed the v pillow more lower to support shoulders and that took me through until 9am this morning and didn’t wake up stiff, same as you am normally a side sleeper and cannot sleep on back for love nor money, even woke up this morning sorta sideways on the v pillow lol hope you’re okay lovely and the pain starts easing off for you xx
