Hey Peyton pie you must be done already! Hope it all went well can't wait to hear about it.

Sahara, good luck for tomorrow lovely, just think of those amazing full perky boobs! Can't wait to see how it all went and how happy you are :)

I was wondering what time do you ladies think I'll be in surgery? It seems like most ladies were told either a surgery type time or where they are on the list, I haven't been told anything just to arrive at 7.30am...plus I'm a day case somdo u think that it's likely I'll be first on the list so I'm done and ready to go home by evening? I hope so!

Xxx

by Sahara1981 18th February 2014, 2:59 pm

7:30 was first I'm second at 8:30 but obviously different hospitals different admission times.
Why don't you ask? X

by kdeee 18th February 2014, 3:02 pm

Lily I was told to be there for 7.30 but was second on the list and was taken into theatre just before 10am. Also a day case xx

by Lily26 18th February 2014, 8:58 pm

Thanks ladies! Hmm do you think if I ring the hospital they would tell me where I am on the list? Just out of interest! Xx

by kdeee 18th February 2014, 8:59 pm

Call them up but bare in mind that they may change to op list based on if someone is running late for example xx

by laurenlola 18th February 2014, 9:44 pm

I was in at 7.30 and first on the list and in theatre by about 9. I didn't get told until the day though and I think that was because I asked x

by peytonpie 18th February 2014, 9:49 pm

I was 4 th on the list, admitted at 8:30 but didn't go down till nearly 11 I was bloody starving!! Lol, there was 9 people on the list altogether but I'm sure they do day cases first!

My op went well no adverse effects of GA which was great very minimal pain etc I shall write in more detail when I'm home x

Good luck for tomorrow everyone who is having op x x x

Hi Lily,

Just ask them, I was asked to arrive at 7 and was first in at 8am...out by 9.15, no pain at all, was sent home at 2.30...If you ask the sec/nurse they are usually good at giving you an approx time? If you want to know anything else please just ask xx

by Lily26 19th February 2014, 6:37 pm

Thanks so much ladies! Feeling mega excited and impatient now! I think I'm the next feb buddy to have my boobies?! Hope I don't go down too late I'll be starving too haha xxx

by Sahara1981 19th February 2014, 7:29 pm

Not long to go now hun x

by Lily26 20th February 2014, 2:17 pm

Yes I'm counting down the days ah! How are you getting on sahara? Hope you're not too uncomfortable and the weeing sorted itself out!

For those ladies who went as a day case (can't remember which ones it was!) what did you take with you? I'm struggling to not take too much/too little! And do you think it's a good idea to buy some multivitamins and arnica tablets? Xxx

by Sahara1981 20th February 2014, 3:54 pm

I took as a day case

Macom bra
Onesie
Socks
Slippers and dressing gown(didn't need as they provided)
Strepsals (incase tube irritates) I needed them
Face wipes
Deoderant roll on (after)
Lip balm (they provided and put on me)
Phone as they had wifi.

Their was also tv with freeview.

I didn't have to leave till 8pm As the room was paid till that time.

Really recommend if your sleeping on a reclining chair as I am, it's great.

Thanks so much for the advice Sahara! I will check those things off when I pack, really helpful! I'm staying at my mums the first night home so she can help and my partner will be at home with the kids so hoping for a ok nights sleep with my v pillow although I'm a side sleeper so not looking forward to it! Will they give me painkillers to take home? Cocodamol or something? Or do I need to buy those? I think I'll take flipflops instead of slippers to I can easily clean them after and they won't get too germy haha xx

by Sahara1981 20th February 2014, 7:37 pm

I was given 500mg paracetamol, diclofenic 500mg, and antibiotics x

But got arnica and senokat at home x

by Lily26 20th February 2014, 9:39 pm

Thankyou Hun!! Is senokot a laxative? I've read it's handy to get those for after your op? I get a bit blocked up with co codamol so probably similar with other painkillers.

Hope you're doing well lovely xx

by kdeee 20th February 2014, 9:43 pm

Lily- I also recommend arnica gel for the upper poles post op. I bought some yesterday and have been applying it straight out of the fridge. It's so cooling and lush
:)
V pillow is a must. I sleep really well with one pillow under low back, 2 pillows piled up under the V pillow, one under the knees and pillow under each arm too...

If you don't get on with cocodamol - just tell them. I get really sick on cocodamol and codeine and they gave me tramadol to take home instead. I am so much better on tramadol :)
Only one more week for you xx

by kdeee 20th February 2014, 9:43 pm

senokot is laxative but prune juice works equally as well xx

by Sahara1981 21st February 2014, 12:02 am

I also find that panadol night works well as it has antihistamine in it to put u to sleep x

by Lily26 21st February 2014, 2:47 pm

Thanks so much for the advice ladies! I'll put my arnica in the fridge then ready for when I get home! :)

Do you think I should take my v pillow into hosp with me? I thought I'd probably be alright using the pillows in there but didn't know what everyone else did. Xxx

by Sahara1981 21st February 2014, 2:53 pm

The beds adjust and your so drugged up. It's not really a problem x

by Lily26 21st February 2014, 8:33 pm

Okay thankyou Hun! Sorry didn't comment on booby post sooner was sorting kids out, had a look at your picture trail, they look fab Hun, they look like they're gonna be a really nice size and will look even more fab once they've dropped and fluffed I bet! Congratulations again xx

by Lily26 23rd February 2014, 8:48 pm

How is everyone doing?? hope youre okay sahara xx

The hospital called me a couple of days ago and i asked my position on the surgery list, they said im first on the list so will be down in surgery by 9! very pleased, i knew id be such a worrier if i had to wait hours and hours, i had my fingers crossed because im a day case i thought theyd want me done fairly quickly so im ready to leave not too late.

I am slightly worried about how drugged up ill be, from reading everyones sugery stories it sounds like ill be pumped with drugs and feel very sleepy and drowsy!?
Im hoping i'll feel ok by the time i need to go home!
so excited now xx

by Weddingbella 1 24th February 2014, 3:46 pm

Lily how are you? I've not been on in ages I've been so busy. You must be getting so excited? X

by Sahara1981 24th February 2014, 3:54 pm

Apart from the weeing issue I was wide awake when I left, was even tidying up the hospital room as was bored waiting for alex to pick me up.
I was out of recovery by 12:45 and left at 8pm was probably totally with it by 4. X

But then everyone is different cause I had so many different issues after :( x
