What happens op day?

Hi girls i just really want to know exactly what happens on op day as soon as you arrive to going down… do u walk to theatre who take u there etc? If anyone would take the time to tell me I would really appreciate it put my mind at ease abit x

Hey Hun, so I arrived to be admitted at 8am by husband came with me, a nurse took me to a room gave me a gown and stockings to put on and went to do a quick pregnancy test. Then she came back ran through all my paperwork with me, not long after the surgeon came in went through it all and drew on me took before pics, then an anesthetist came in to introduce themselves and run through stuff shortly followed by the head nurse I think he was. My husband was with me all the time. By 11 I was being wheeled down for surgery just chatted with an assistant till fell asleep. Woke up in recovery with new boobs. They took me back to my room and then got my husband to come back into the room. Nurse helped me put my bra on then left us to it. The nurses kept coming in a regular points to do the usual checks and by 3pm I was on my way home with relevant paperwork and medication. They were all lovely! Hope this helps x

Sorry I walked to the theater prep room, so take some slippers x

That’s so helpful thank you Lindsay I thought they put the bra on before you woke up for some reason! Did they use injection or mask to put you to sleep or both? I’d prefer injection x

Exactly as Lindsay except I woke up with my bra on, depends who does your surgery as they all have their own ways, same as I never had a breast band or drains and some have and never got a single bruise. Good luck with your surgery x

Thank you Kelly I’m having Mr Marcellino so I know il have drains x

The actual op isn’t that bad, honestly you’ll be fine, nurses are so lovely and everyone makes you feel so at ease. 🙂 x

That’s good then hopefully Il just Sail through it and wonder what all the fuss was about x
