Having been big booked for most my adult life, and with the bairn at school, I thought it was time to finally get the reduction I've been thinking about.
Being from an island in Scotland, I thought it was going to be a challenge to find a consultant that would do the op.. the options were for Glasgow, Aberdeen or Edinburgh, but the more I researched, the more Aberdeen appeared to have the best reviews - for the Albyn Hospital with Mr Amir Tadros. Helen, who works as his assistant, is so helpful, with lots of information.. And having helped other women from the islands, was already equipped with the answers to my questions.
I took the plunge and booked my consult for November. It was great, Mr Tadros has a fantastic manner & I feel confident that it's all going to go well. Pre-op appointment in a couple of weeks, so I'll let you know more after that! So excited! Can't wait!

So.. I've done it!
I travelled to Aberdeen for the surgery and was admitted into Albyn around Friday lunchtime. The team there were really friendly, put you at ease.. The room was nice and clean, tv, wifi.
Having met the anaesthetist, Mr Tadros came by and we discussed the operation & what to expect.. A wee while later, I was wheeled into the theatre room!
the theatre nurse was very reassuring, and I drifted off!
I awoke later in my room, and was extremely nauseous, which I told the nurse Patrick, and within minutes he was back with an injection, which perked me right up! The post-op checks have to be done regularly so any sleep you get is disturbed but them coming in, but they were so kind and gentle about it all... Checking all the time if I felt OK as well as checking the pulses n temps. I felt very safe and looked after.
I'm the morning I was feeling remarkably good.. They were giving me regular pain meds, so I wasn't in any pain, just a little discomfort from the pressure of the post-op bra under my armpit - perhaps the size the website recommended was wrong?
Saturday my sister-in-law came to visit and we had a lovely afternoon chatting n drinking tea... I honestly felt fine!
Saturday night I slept really well - I wasn't expecting to but I slept through the night!
Discharge from Albyn on Sunday was quick and simple, and again, no pain or discomfort - and off home I trotted.
Albyn hospital is fantastic. The food is way above and beyond what you'd get NHS, and they are always ready with a cuppa! The staff are sterling - Patrick, the nurse from the first night is a credit to his profession as we're all the lasses on Saturday & Elaine & Flora on Sunday were just superb.
Time to mend now...
