New boobies yesterday. my story
Before i start i just want to say that this website has definately helped me over the past few weeks. Reading all your stories kept me from going mad with nerves. So thank you.
Ok here we go. I arrived at the Abbey RIverside Hospital at quarter to ten and after about five minutes they showed me to my room. Nice and comfortable and peaceful. About 10 minutes the nurse came and took blood pressure asked all the usual questions and most importantly i ordered lunch lol, cheese and tomato toastie. i was already starving. i got my very fashionable knickers, stockings and surgical robe. once all that was out the way my husband was allowed in and we puit on Jeremy Kyle. HA HA.
Next visitor was my surgeon Dr Barbara Lutz. She is definately a determined lady but i had complete faith in her. She did the necessary drawings and i told her that i had decided on the 300cc overs. She does tend to try and encourage you to go for the smaller option but every one always says take the bigger option SO I DID. She told me i would have to wait about 2 hours as there had been an accident on the north circular and some patients had arrived late Amazingly i didnt feel that nervous, i had been far more nervous on the lead up to the day. once there i was ok.
any way moving on the aneathitist (cant spell it!) came next asked more questions then i just had to wait. Quarter to one they came and got me. as i said good bye to my husband (aftewardsr he said you didnt even kiss me goodbye, i think i was in a bit of daze). and walked to the lift it just felt like to wasnt real then i walked into the the theatre and looked about it was wierd thinking that i would be asleep in there and having this done to me and just not knowing any thing about. any way the nurse got me onto the operating table and put blankets on me. then i had the drip thingy put in my hand. next thing you know he starting injecting me. i said is that the one that sends you to sleep. sounds thick i know lol. it was WEIRD. i felt it going up to my brain, and remember thinking i feel tired but not like i am going to go to sleep. Then BAM i was gone. as i starting waking i remember thinking "oh what a nice sleep i have had and i had been dreaming, i think" then i thought hang on something isnt right here and it dawned on me where i was. i had a nurse sitting next to me and an oxygen mask on. i could feel my chest heavy but not in pain. i must have come round quick as i was ok and back in the room about 15 minutes later. they got me on to the bed and then i could start feeling some pain. so the nurse went and got some tablets.
once my drip finished they put my bra on 34d yay. and i scoffed my toastie and two cups of tea. soon as the painkillers kicked in i had virtually no pain. i was surprised how ok i felt. when i discovered i had drains in i thought OH NO. but apparently Dr Lutz puts them in for everyone.
any way cutting a long story short Dr lutz came round about seven and said everything went fine and i could go home. she was very pleased with my sports bra so if anyone is having trouble deciding i bought Triumph tri action sport. they are comfy with no underseams so shouldnt rub. then got my tablets and then had the dreaded drains removed. Bit stingy but not painful.
got home had fish and chips, yum, and even managed to get some sleep, bit on and off though, sleeping propped up gives you a NUMB BUM.
this morning i do feel sore but only taking one painkiller every four hours instead of two so not too bad, i can feel bruising brewing up between the boobies as well. i have had to put on the 34 dd this and this is more comfortable. my stats are 5.9, 8 stone 11. was a 32 b and wearing 34dd at the mo. hoping i will achieve a 32d but time will tell. very pleased at the moment though. sorry to drag on. Hoped you enjoyed reading my story xxxxxxxxxxxxx
