tummy tuck 16th june

Hi girls just had my pre op today.. just 4 weeks to go now im getting more and more nervous/scared as it gets nearer.. im starting to make a list of things i need for the day.. so far.. loose clothes, bobble without metal, antibacterial soap, pj’s, slippers, wipes, compression garment, drinks, snacks pillow and blanket for the 3 hour drive home and the obvious like toothbrush hairbrush.. is there anything else i need? Or any tips for recovery?.. and will i be ok walking /getting up and down stairs? X

Hi Missy

I’m afraid I don’t have much advice as I’m still pre-op myself but I just wanted to wish you good luck! Just think in a few weeks it will all be over and you’ll be starting the next chapter 🙂 Has your surgeon asked you to buy your own compression garment or are Mya providing it? I know some surgeons do things differently.

I have finally booked my surgery for the 3rd August so I have a ten week wait. I was wondering if Mya contacted you to make your pre op appointments or if you had to chase them as I haven’t heard a thing from them since I paid my deposit.

Thanks hun.. ive had a rubbish few days even though i would lose all the money i was on the verge of cancelling ( stupid nerves ) had a moment of panic.. guess it wont be the last either lol.. about the garment when i last saw my surgeon he told me to buy a specific one from debenhams.. so 10 weeks for u eek the time will fly hun and mya should contact u soon to arrange ur pre op if they dont u can always call and book it in.. mine was meant to be done much earlier but there was a lot of confusion changed my appointment 3 times.. oh and just so know u have to have bloods done at ur pre op.. i didnt have bloods last time with my boobs so that was a surprise x

Ahh bless you! I think the problem with having a long wait is that you start thinking too much and it’s easy to almost talk yourself out of it. I have days where I look in the mirror and think “is it really that bad? Am I crazy having this surgery and putting myself at risk?”…then I go clothes shopping and I think “yes you are absolutely doing the right thing having surgery. You can’t live like this any longer!” lol.

I am an admin manager for the NHS and I perhaps because of that I have expected a certain level of service. People knock the NHS but my goodness I have realised how efficient it is compared to private practice! I have had to chase MYA all the way for prices, dates, callbacks etc. At my work we do all that without being asked. There seems to be a high turnover of staff at MYA too and I’ve struggled to speak to the same person twice so all-in-all I’m not too impressed. I’m just hoping it all goes smoothly as I’m feeling a bit lost at the moment :-/
