What happens if.....?

Hi everyone, a new worry came to me today and wonder if anyone knows what happens if say, a few hours after surgery you have a haematoma and need to go back to surgery. I'm guessing the surgeon doesn't wait around all eve! Do they hae another standing by who would deal with it? Would this affect the results it two different surgeons operate?! I'm probably being very irrational, I think I've thought of all eventualities. My surgery is mid afternoon so that got me thinking! Thanks xx

I'd presume they would have a surgeon on standby at all times in case of an emergency hun, but if your worried just give the hospital a call, or speak to your surgeon, I'm sure they will be able to put your mind at rest quickly xxx

A different surgeon will be on stand-by x

Would it even be an A & E case?!

If you're still in the clinic, they will take you straight back into surgery. It will be whatever surgeon is available at that time. But its nothing to worry about, as you're in the best place for it, and they've already got all your notes. Its happened to a few girls, and they've been fine.

If it happens after the op when you're back home, I guess it would be an A&E situation. If its something you're worried about, discuss it with the clinic and get their advice so you're prepared.

Thanks very much girls, I know it's probably unlikely, I hope.
Another worry is catching something and it gets cancelled. I've got three kids and one of them usually has a cold or something! My daughters at nursery and has woke up with a chesty sounding cough. Is there anything I can do to prevent catching it? I'll try really hard not kiss her and wash hands constantly :-( x

The time they normally cancel is if you had a chest infection or something that affects your airways. But don't worry too much you will be ok. Yes that's it . Not too close and hand washing. I was worried about this too xxxx

If it's just the sniffles, it's fine. Just get plenty of rest, fruite and veg etc. It's actually quite common, not only with kids, but through the stress of it all. They'll only cancel if it's a full on chest infection or something.

by pixi81 25th March 2015, 10:52 am

So an ordinary cold would be ok if it happens? So far preventative measures I've discovered are gargling with salt water morning and night, honey as it's a natural antibiotic, holding your breath for 15 seconds if someone coughs or sneezes nearby lol. As you may have guessed I am a worrier! I'd be gutted if it was cancelled after all the arranging xx

Oh and not touching your face. A lot of colds start from touching your eyes x

Aww pixie you will be just fine :-).. You are sounding like me again! :-)), not long now .. I'm just at moment rearranging my date as my mums work have messed her holidays up so she won't be hear to help me.. So I'm hoping it's only going to be put back by 1-2 weeks.. I'm gutted just want it over and done with! Good luck Hun xxx

by pixi81 25th March 2015, 11:08 am

Aw no! What a nightmare! Yes if they said I could go today I'd jump at the chance haha! I hate waiting I become more and more anxious! I can only compare it to having a baby, in the last weeks before my kids births I couldn't sit still, cleaning everything and organising! I hope u get a date not too far away in the future x

by anneritchley 25th March 2015, 12:34 pm

Try not to be anxious . Enjoy this time. It's part of your journy. You could make yourself stressed. Xxx

by pixi81 25th March 2015, 12:52 pm

Oh I'm such a stress head at the best of times! I've got quite a bit on the next week, hope it flies by! Xx

The hospital staff were fantastic .my surgeon was operating on someone else so I had another surgeon as they did not want to wait as my breast was growing by the second . The staff were all great and everything is fine now . X

by pixi81 25th March 2015, 1:20 pm

Oh my goodness Bambi poor you. I'm glad it was sorted quickly and you're recovering now. Me and any kind of procedure never seem to run very smoothly! Xx

by **mirren001** 25th March 2015, 2:10 pm

I'm sure everything will go fine! if anything were to happen hospital & staff have plans for every eventuality so you will be in good hands.
Try to turn those last min nerves into excitement, only 8 more sleeps until your boobie day!

bless you Pixi89 <3 I'm sure it'll all go smoothly
Out of interest for all you experienced lot; what sort of time frame can a haematoma happen? I always assumed straight away, but can this be delayed and how long should you watch out for it? x

by pixi81 25th March 2015, 8:18 pm

Thank you very much! Yes I'm swaying from excitement to panic! I'm not sure of time frame but I think it can even be a couple of weeks? My mum's had her boobs done a few times over the last 25 years or so and she had one once but it happened very quickly while she was still in hospital and the same surgeon fixed it. I just can't quite believe I'm really getting this done! Xx

by Loubeeloujack 30th March 2015, 11:16 am

I hope your able to feel more at ease after reading everyone's comments I'm sure everything will go really well I'm getting thoughts of what if anything bad but I belie just keep thinking of all the positives we have both had children so this will be a doddle x

by pixi81 30th March 2015, 4:39 pm

Yes definitely, surely having births and c sections I harder than this?! We will be fine.....deep breaths! Xxx

by dannieyram87 30th March 2015, 9:24 pm

Hi Pixie81, don't worry, you will be fine! Jus try to think of what new underwear you can get and hoe fab you will be in few months time once you're all settled! Xx
