Just had my BA on Saturday 22nd August2015 with...

Just had my BA on Saturday 22nd August2015 with The Hospital Group. Feeling pretty disappointed with the experience and now in quite a lot of pain, lack of sleep and thinking why did I do this! ????. I felt for the price I paid I thought it was a disappointing experience. I arrived at Dolan Park for 9am on the Sat and was greeted by the receptionist and quite promptly taken to my room. I was feeling pretty nervous as I think most people would having surgery. The nurse that took me to my room she seemed pretty nice. After this had another lady come and take various details, again she was ok a little bit frosty though. As the morning went on I met the surgeon again and the anaesthetist just asking questions and being marked up. Someone came to collect me for theatre and I was very nervous by this point and I was trembling at this point. Had my cannula put in and he went through some paper work to which there was a mistake. I was also having a lump removed from my right breast as well but was written down as having a mole removed! Anyway they called the surgeon and it was re-written on the form correctly and I signed. Didn't fill me with the greatest of confidence! Anyway I was put to sleep and woke some time later in recovery. Took me a while to come around but felt terrible after. Got taken up to my room and had my oxygen mask on for an hour or more. I've had an operation before but never felt like this. The nurse came in and did blood pressure etc and said my heart rate was really high so needed to drink. To be honest I felt so out of it and disoriented that I didn't really want anything and was also feeling nauseous. They came back again and said about putting my bra on I wanted to wait for half an hour until I felt better but this other particular nurse just made me sit up and put it on. I really felt unwell but felt like by one particular nurse like I was being a nuisance, which I hate putting people out or causing a fuss. She just kept telling me to eat or drink or we will have to put fluids up in a stern voice. Still though I was pretty out of it. The surgeon came in and another nurse was telling him about heart rate etc and he said to ask the anaesthetist. I was now a bit worried and asked how the surgery went to be told it went ok. Anyway took me a good 2-3 hours to feel anywhere near better. The nurses changed staff and the couple of night staff seemed ok. Didn't sleep well and the nurse came in at 6am and gave me my meds to go home with. That was the last time I saw a nurse. Had a bowl of cereal brought to me and after that saw nobody. So I stayed there thinking someone would surely be around to check me over or to say it was ok to leave but nothing. Eventually I went out to a lady at the desk and asked and she said I could just go. I have seen other people's experience with NHS at times to be poor but the are hard worked and over stretched but to receive this kind of care when you are paying 4,000 plus I was really disappointed. Recovery has been harder than what I thought, was thinking I would be fine but it has been pretty painful and really hard to sleep, sleeping upright is so uncomfortable. My boobs are very swollen and completely numb to touch. I had Motiva implants 400cc under the muscle. At the moment however regretting the whole thing I wish I stayed with my small boobs! Sorry for a bleak review but for anybody considering this op make sure you think about it thoroughly and that it's definitely what you want.
