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.

If you go have another procedure in the future, don't do it with the NHS. Find the best private clinic doctor you can find even if it costs more. You had a very unprofessional experience during the whole process. I can't believe how poorly they cared for you. There are many great docs but do your research. And if you can ever afford to come to the U.S., I would recommend the trip because so many awesome surgeons here in every major city. If I am correct, the pound usually has a better exchange against the dollar so it really could be worth your while. :-)
I am here to tell you that it will get better and you will feel happy with your body soon enough. I had been struggling with anhedonia the first 4 days after surgery. Anhedonia is worse than depression because at least with some forms of depression you can still find a little bit of joy and the things that you like. Not So with anhedonia. Anyhow, the feeling broke today and I I've been driving around on errands jamming out to 80s music and loving the sunshine. Of course, we also live in Seattle and out of all the cities I have been to across the world, I would not want to call anywhere else home. The beauty of this area is magical. If you would've told me during the downtime that I would feel this way, I would not of believed anybody. I am here to tell you it will get better soon. And if you ever want more surgery done, head to Seattle. While everybody thinks of Beverly Hills as the place to go, I don't think so. I interviewed doctors and both Beverly Hills and Seattle and found what I needed in Seattle. So glad you went to a private clinic and it shocks me that you were treated the way you were. The doctor I used him his staff were so professional and went above expectations in terms of the care aspect. They were extra careful and went overboard in terms of safety and everything else. Hope you feel better soon and come around to your new look.
