Surgery this Friday! Mixed emotions

Hey girls my op is this Friday at Harley Medical. I’m so excited but so nervous, I keep getting upset thinking I’ve made a mistake because I’m nervous. I suffer from severe anxiety which is making it hard to be excited which is very frustrated. I’ve wanted this since I was 13 & now I feel like rubbish 🙁 Ahhhhhhh so frustrating!!!!!!! I’m packing my bag ready, I’m even stressing about that as I’m unsure what to take, please tell me I’m not the only stress head 🙁 xxxxx

Nope you definitely aren’t the only stresshead
I was exactly the same, your emotions are perfectly normal, just pack that bag and honestly don’t worry x

@wendy08 thank you so much for replying, I’m such a worrier 🙁 Xx

Honestly I put off having the procedure for years as I was petrified, looking back I have been silly as I’m 49 now and should of done it way back,I’m not going to lie the recovery for me has been difficult but yours should be better as I had unders and they say they are far more intrusive, good luck you will be fine x

Awww honey honestly there is absolutely nothing to worry about. I am one of life’s worriers and was feeling very much the same on my run up to surgery, I even text my PC to see how much money I would lose if I cancelled about two days before my op! I know it’s just boobs, but it is a big deal and a life changing decision so I think the weight of it can make you panic, but now I’m on the other side of the surgery and recovering I’d love to give you a great big cuddle and honestly tell you that everything is going to be fine xxxx

Hey Beth , I’m 5dpo with Harley medical. I have serious anxiety , walked through the hospital door and almost walked back out , my anxiety was sky high , the lady that took me to my room noticed and told a member of staff who then offered me meds to calm me down (I was that bad!!)

Well now I just feel stupid lol , it couldn’t have gone any bettter , !! Staff at highgate were amazing , so lovely they made me feel heaps better , it is daunting of course but the amount of time it takes to do outways the time you’ll be having anxiety about it ! Just think boobies .. breathe through the anxiety and you’ll be fine , I waited about 3 hrs in my room and then as soon as I went into surgery I was laying on the bed and I was out for it.. woke up with my new puppies , home 4 hrs later , you’ll be fine xx

Oh and to add I hardly took anything ! , magazine , phone , charger , zip up hoody and leggings undies ,m&s post op bra , moisturiser , hair brush , mints ,

Oh and the cheese and ham paninis on the menu for after are lovely ..! Lol

@jsmily Thank you so much for your lovely reassuring comment, I am exactly the same! I called my pc & asked the same question a few weeks ago 🙁 You’re defiantly right, I think because it’s such a life changing decision it’s so scary, but like you said, boobies at the end!! Thank you again for being so kind <3 Xxxx

@sarahthecarer Ahh it’s almost reassuring to hear someone who’s also been with Harley & suffers the same as me! Who was your surgeon? I’m having Dr Thursh who is so so lovely!! I keep thinking about walking down the theatre & it makes me feel sick 🙁 Dr Thrush is going to speak to the Anaesthetist prior to give me something to calm me down, how did you find it? Even the waiting part it stressing me out 🙁 Glad you’re okay now though & hope you’re enjoying your new babies! Xxxxx

I had mark solomos , lovely man , brutally honest , which I appreciated , my friend had dr thrush just a few weeks ago and he did a fab job on her , she’s very happy ,

It is daunting walking down but honestly the staff are so so lovely and friendly that they talk to you and make pleasant conversation , I woke up and the nurse sat chatting to me about the to programme dr foster ! Lol ,

They will give u something to calm u down the nurse will offer it if u request it , you will be fine , I promise once it’s done you’ll be wondering what the fuss was about I’m so so glad I didn’t back out … , today I’m feeling super fab , no pains or aches and I’ve done a 12 hr shift at work last night ! , xx

I’m having Mark can I private message you xx
