1 week check up
Had my 1 week check up today! All went well. I cried on the way home as I walked around the shops for a bit and looked in the mirrors and thought my boobs looked smaller than they were before (with old bra on) but I've since come home and taken some photos and I think the Macom bra is making them look smaller.
Post surgery pics and 5 days PO ????
Hi everyone,
I had my surgery last Wednesday at the Highgate hospital, all went really well. What I will say is if you are having your surgery at the Highgate hospital then please bear in mind that there is little to no parking (most spaces are taken up by medical professionals) and because of this my partner had to go back to our hotel and I ended up going the whole day alone. I'm not generally a nervous person and I managed to keep myself calm but I did end up spending a long time in my room on my own before my surgery as I had to wait an hour to see my surgeon for reasons I still don't know and it doesn't really bother me now but it wasn't nice being alone for so long at the time.
When I first got to my room I had some health checks from my nurse and I also had to do a pregnancy test, get sized for stockings etc. Mark then came and said hello to me and asked how I was doing, he was very polite as he usually tends to be. He then marked me up and told me to put the gown and stockings on as I'll be going for surgery soon.
I walked down to theatre with a very funny and talkative young lad who actually really helped me to calm down and take my mind off things. I was surprised at how calm I was when I got into the surgery room, it was all very quick from then on as I was asked to lay on the table, they then put the cannula into my hand and all I can remember was chatting with one of the nurses. I remember smelling and tasting something weird just before I went to sleep I think it's a side effect of anaesthesia? Next thing I knew I woke up in another room in my bed.
When I woke up the pain didn't seem that bad at first but slowly got worse, my nurse put some pain killers into my drip and then I was wheeled back to my room where I was told I had to stay until I had eaten something and had a proper wee. But as far as pain goes so far my experience has been completely manageable. Shortly after surgery Mark came to check how I was doing and asked if I had any questions, at the time I was too tired to think of anything so I just said no. He told me that surgery went really well and that I had the 480cc implants that I wanted. the only guidelines he gave me was to rest for a week, take my medicine and don't get my boobs wet. The nurse then helped me put my Macom bra on. Once I'd eaten something (half a banana that I almost threw up), weed and got my meds they said I was ok to go.
The first thing I did when I got back to my hotel was take pictures, I really didn't like the way that they looked, looking back now at the photos I realise just how swollen I was so don't be discouraged if you get this feeling too. I slept like a baby the first night propped up in my bed thanks to the codeine and muscle relaxers.
The next morning when I woke up the pain was definitely worse but still bareble, my muscles were the sorest they have ever been and it felt so wierd to move around, my chest felt so tight and most of the pain was in the middle of chest like someone was standing on my sternum or there was a lot of pressure there or something, it's really not pleasant but it's something I knew i had to deal with if I had this surgery. The second day i had to stop taking codeine and stick to just paracetomol as the codeine made me throw up continuously (throughout the whole journey home too).. I'm now on day 5 and I feel great. I have just been resting and I'm not taking painkillers now. It's just very wierd moving around at this point and things are still very tight/pressured but are slowly easing up day by day. I have my one week check up on Wednesday.
