I had my BA this morning! I’m going to track my journey in here in the hope that it helps someone with theirs. RS was where I spent all of my time in the lead up to surgery and it was super helpful!
So my check in time was 7:30am, I arrived early and was taken to my room to get my gowns etc on and get comfortable. My surgeon Dr Sforza then came to see me and gave me a hug which was such a nice touch!! My mum had dropped me off and we couldn’t hug which was weird. Plus I think out of nerves I said hopefully I don’t die and that really didn’t land well with my mum and I’ve been feeling really guilty since I left her. I’m not very anxious about the op in terms of having bad results but it was a terrible joke to make and I was kicking myself straight away.
Anyway, Dr Sforza was so gentle and did the markings and chatted about some other things too. Completely put me at ease and took some photos.
I went to theatre later than expected at 9:40ish and everyone was chatting away to me making me feel comfortable and explaining what was happening. I woke up at 10:40 feeling horrendous, not in terms of pain but the drowsiness from the anaesthesia was horrible. I had an itchy nose but wasn’t strong enough to reach it or to ask someone to. I stayed in this room for an hour and I won’t lie it wasn’t nice feeling so out of it. No pain from the actual boobies though so that’s great!
I was taken to my room after an hour left to sleep. I couldn’t sleep even though I was exhausted and felt extremely nauseous. I couldn’t speak properly because I was so weak. My voice was all croaky and lame haha.
I was brought a lovely soup, fruit, tea and juice along with my water of course. I couldn’t actually stomach anything but the fruit and that was over the course of 3 hours!
My nurse gave me an anti sickness tablet after the food which helped relieve sick feeling when lying down and allowed me to doze in and out. However, felt really sick when I sit up so I made myself sick and it was just water. My nurse has just given me an injectable anti sickness which seems to have done the trick yay. It’s 4:40 and I still haven’t passed urine so need to get the water sipping increased!
I’ve attached some before photos and some photos I’ve taken in my room just now! Excited to see them drop and the finished article.
I’ll continue to track stuff on here cos I’m dying to share photos etc and don’t want to alienate my friends ha. Plus hopefully can help others with their journey.

Forgot to say in my original post that I have always sought to be happy with my body as it is naturally and I absolutely do. I’ve always been fairly confident and don’t feel shame about my body in any way. The reason I have decided to get a BA is to be in proportion and to feel more feminine. Im now 30 and have made this decision purely for me and the right reasons, I’m not doing this expecting happiness because I’m already happy. I have made an enhancement to me as I already am. I did feel some guilt about it to begin with, but I’m over that and am super happy with my decision.

My Implants are sub-pectoral which I think means recovery can be longer/sorer. I got a decent sleep the past two nights, I woke up once through the night the first night and twice last night. the pain is mostly from trying to manoeuvre to upright sitting position in bed. My star purchase is the post surgery pillow wedge - its a game changer!

I haven’t felt nauseous since day of surgery which is great, just super tired and low energy. I go for naps and take it very easy. I’ve been able to eat since leaving hospital too. I’m at my mums and she has made lovely comfort food like lentil soup, shepherds pie and toast. It’s so nice to have my mum looking after me I would recommend organising help if that possible for you. Otherwise have everything prepped for your arrival home (freeze portion sizes, everything you need in reach at a low enough level etc).

I haven’t had any bowel movement since before my op apart from an extremely small ‘dropping’ last night. It was pathetic though. Because of this my stomach is very swollen and pressing against my post op bra which is pretty uncomfy. I have unhooked most of the bottom hooks and my nurse said that was fine as the top hooks were still in place to hold the boobs in place.

I’m going to double dose stool softeners tonight and then see if I can go tomorrow morning. If not then I’ll take a suppository.

My nurse at Mybreast called me to see how I was doing which is a nice touch and I talked through all of the above with her.

I’m going to go for a walk to chemist with my mum later. Not much else to report - I’ve been resting mostly - so easily tired!

Anyway you can see how swollen my tummy is in the photos.
