I can out at about 7:30pm too from my op. Lol at being adamant that you had not been done. I remember waking up and telling the male nurse in wreck very I was so proud of him as he was telling me he was also a nurse in the army and he had just come back from Afghanistan. 

Today will be day 1 post op as yesterday was BA day. I never had any pain in my boobs, just pain in my arms and in my sides really. My chest felt really heavy like something pressing down on it, or sitting on it. Day 4 my incisions started to get itchy through healing which was a bit of a pain, but took antihistamines and this stopped the itching. I didn't really have a worse day to be honest, day 3 my arms and sides started to get better and I only had 1 pain killer the whole day.

I was only given co-codamol for my pain which was fine for a few days but it makes my eyesight go fuzzy so I stopped taking it and switched to paracetamol only and I was fine with that. If you want something stronger, just ask your nurse and she should get you something.

Hi girls. The girls who have already had their BA if you were nil by mouth from midnight was your surgery in the morning? My admission time is 9.30am it's a 2hr drive away (not looking forward to that on an empty stomach). Can you have sips of water? Xx

I was an afternoon admission babe, but I was allowed sips of water until a few hours before my admission time. X

Best to give your hospital or clinic a call and and them what there policy is babe. X

I wasn't allowed anything at all from 7.30 and my op was at 3. X

mine was no food 6 hours  before admission time and no water 2 hours before x

it says on my letter nothing to eat or drink from midnight the day before surgery. does this sound right? oh no so when i get up in the morning i cant have a drink? oh god i hope i don't pass out in the car on the way. i get travel sickness as it is.will they cancel my appointment if i get car sick? the hospital have arranged a lift there and back for me. panicking now x

I was nil by mouth from midnight for a 7:30am admission then sips of water until 2 hours before my admission. It was fine though.

Hungry now!! Mums just got her visitor lunch, I'm very jealous haha!!

I was given anti sickness drugs throughout the GA so maybe that's why I'm not queasy and so hungry!!! 

Just peeked down under my Macom, they're quite far apart but were pre op!

Can't believe it's done!!xx

Thanks Ind that's good to hear!! Think I had different size one side need to check what occurred! So glad it's over, just lazy in bed with tea & biscuits catching up on the pistorius trial!

How are you feeling now?xx

Haha yeh just take it easy and relax :)
I feel fine thankyou! Been so lucky with the pain (so far), the only time I have any discomfort is in the morning when I first wake up when my meds are fully worn off but other than that it jst feels tight, cant wait to see them properly on monday :) xxx

Congratulations!!!   enjoy the rest of your day. I'm jealous as I'm home now. My surgeon left some credit card style things in my room for each boob maybe you've had some left too. I didn't notice mine until this morning Xxx

what size did you have lolo85 :)? congrats ! xxx

345cc my chest is ^ shaped but the right comes out further and has a random flat part and I was all boney with a couple of random bumps around and about xx

I hadn't tried them on at all so was a complete surprise. I had tried on with two different surgeons during consultations. X

Congrats girls! Xxx

Dying to see them! For a totally impatient person like me who has zero patience this is torture, they feel lovely, still no pain. X

Me too Dayzee I feel fine so far! Just lazing on my bed with my leg pumps on! Hope it continues!

Just had more antibiotics and paracetemol into my vein hand thing, right leg really aching but boobs feel fine just tight and hard.

Sipping away on my lucozade. Haven't slept at all since coming round so starting to feel it now. 

Don't want to "check out tomorrow I'm loving hotel boobsville!
