This was a bit annoying as I didn’t know I was having an afternoon surgery so I hadn’t had food or water since before midnight and was starting to feel a bit sick and dehydrated. The staff were fairly friendly and before surgery I had to have a pregnancy test and get changed into my robes and have the anaesthesia needle fitted into my hand. The room you are waiting in once in your robes is a medium sized room with 3 beds in, which was nice as you were able to talk to the other ladies who were in there. I have not had surgery before but the man who did the anaesthetic seems to be very good as I have had very little effects from it and he said it may leave me with a sore throat but I don’t feel anything. I don’t remember waking up from the surgery but both of the nurses seemed very nice and answered any questions I had. When I woke up it was a very painful feeling of tightness but the nurse gave me some painkillers and the anaesthesian explained to me before (and after) that this was normal. After about 30-45 minutes this pain was much less although obviously you will still feel it I assume for a few weeks till they have settled. The pain is okay so far after about two hours I was able to leave and go back to my hotel which was a couple of minutes walk from the hospital but I was able to do this with not much pain (my boyfriend carried my bags etc as I wouldn’t have been able to carry anything). About 4 hours after I remember waking up I am starting to feel a bit more pain so soon I will take some more painkillers but overly I feel fine The thing I was most worried about was the wait before and after surgery but as you are in a room with other people it’s actually not too bad of an experience and I have even added one lady on Facebook so we can stay in touch :). The time does fly by quite fast. I was also worried about waking up and hating the way my boobs looked on my body. Thankfully I am actually over the moon with how they look so far and I can’t wait to get a proper look at them. I feel like the photos the surgeons take never do them any justice due to the angles etc but even on those I feel happy. Can’t wait till they settle down and drop, will finally have the boobs of my dreams!! (I hope). The first sleep was not a great experience. Surprisingly I wasn’t tired after I woke from the operation, between the start of the operation and waking up it was about 2 hours I am usually a front and side sleeper so despite rearranging my pillows 500 x and wearing comfy pyjamas and sleep masks (and being made a bit drowsy by my medicine) i did not get much sleep. Woke up feeling quite achy but after the pain killers I felt alright again. Popped into the clinic to see dr Giuseppe before I left London and he was really kind, at first he seemed quite abrupt during my consultations but once you speak to him properly he is a kind man who makes you feel at ease. All was fine with the boobs they were as expected and I hadn’t been bleeding. Took a sneaky picture of them with my bra undone earlier and so exited for the results already. Will write more about my experience in a few days time :) Updated on 15 Dec 2018: Here are the pictures of before and after my surgery. Have my first wound care appointment on Monday so will try and get a picture of them then. I am currently 1dpo and have been okay all day but the pain is getting a bit more intense now as the pain killers wear off. Feels like an intense cramp but my boobs are on fire... also so bloated at the moment but hopefully that will pass tomorrow. Updated on 17 Dec 2018: Had a wound care appointment today, all was fine and only took about 5 minutes. Was taking 2 cocodamol 4 times a day but that was making me feel drowsy and bloated so I’ve cut that and am just taking the one 4 times a day with ibruprofen. Slept badly last night, my right boob keeps cramping up and feeling uncomfortable. Also I am so constipated, didn’t realise how much of an issue this would be but it’s making me feel so nauseous and uncomfortable. If it wasn’t for the constipation I think I’d be feeling a lot better than I am though. Can’t be bothered to take off my bra and band to take a photo today but will try tomorrow. Updated on 19 Dec 2018: Feeling a lot better today! The bloating has gone down a lot and feeling like I can move a bit more although still being careful. The swelling has also gone down a lot now but it feels so weird when I don’t have my bra on so put it straight back on after I had a wash (without getting my wounds wet). Here’s some pictures. Can’t wait for them to drop :) Only issue I’m now having is I keep getting cramped up in my right side but I think it may be because I’m right handed so trying to use my left hand instead. Updated on 21 Dec 2018: So today it’s been a whole week since my surgery. I am feeling so much better. I have not been taking any pain killers now and finished off my last antibiotics today. I do feel quite nauseous today but not like a fever but hopefully this will pass. I was allowed to have my first shower today so I got to have a look at the wound properly. It looks as good as I could expect nice and neat and I hope that it will heal nicely! Just got to wait for the boobs to drop a bit more now. I like the way they look front on but from the side they’re quite high up still so will be excited for them to drop more naturally. I’ll update with a picture in a week to show how they’ve changed :) Updated on 28 Dec 2018: Feeling back to my old self now. Don’t have any pain and can sleep on my side without too much discomfort. Left one has definitely dropped more than the right. Going for my check up on Monday to get the stitches cut so hopefully all that is going well. Updated on 5 Jan 2019: Feel completely fine now, forget about the boobs most of the time but still not raising my arms or carrying anything too heavy. Really happy with the way they’re starting to look. The left has dropped slightly more than the right but they’re starting to look very nice. The wounds are healing up nicely, the right looks a bit neater than the left though but they feel nice and smooth. although after I went to see the nurse last week she put a piece of something between my wound and my plaster which was too long and it dug into my skin and cut it. I made sure it was clean and covered it with a plaster and it’s beginning to heal now. The scabs from my wound have mostly fallen off now also. After I showered my boobs felt so soft I couldn’t believe it.
