wedge method, hood lift. -my lady bits diary :)

hi people, so I'm booked in for this procedure in 2 weeks time, its been a long time coming, I'm 32 and no kids but the down there has never really looked right and quite uncomfortable when wearing clothes etc. I'm going to be awake during the surgery, it is the wedge method and have opted for a tablet sedation and local anaesthetic. I'm very very nervous about this, mostly the first injection. has anyone out there had this type??? and also is the initial local anaesthetic the worst??? :-0 no one yet knows I'm going to get this done so i have no one to talk to about it

hi there ladies, so the big day is here and iv just gotten home from the surgery. i was very nervous and had to wait for what seemed like forever to be admitted around 8am this morning. i was dreading the local anaesthetic. they gave me a tablet to help me relax and it seemed to work. the nurses were very friendly. they put you on the table and keep you nice and warm, the put on the music in the background for me and then put your legs into harness things, id imagine quite like having a baby. then the doctor marked out where he would do the wedge incision. you can't see anything at this stage which is a good thing. then the part i was most afraid of, the local. it stung very mildly for a few seconds, but was nothing i couldn't handle and way way less than i was expecting which was amazing, he did this 3 times and it went numb very quickly. to be honest i was not aware of him down there much and i chatted and bantered with the nurses the whole time. i didn't feel any tugging etc. he said i did well and then it was all over in less than an hour which went quickly. they give you a pad and disposable underwear and then i was able to walk to the recovery quite normally which surprised me, but you are still completely numb. i got dressed after a cup of tea and put my own underwear on. then off home. he gave me pain meds and antibiotics also a cream to apply.
its still so early but i looked down there quickly after i peed and its looking way better and so different (all tucked in) no more pink curtains in my office :) I'm not brave enough to get a squiz at the full car wreck of the undercarriage just yet but might wait until later on. then i will post a picture maybe tomorrow. its starting to feel a little stingy as the meds wear off so might ice it later this afternoon just don't know how soon to do it but fear not ladies, so far this is no where near as bad as expected and the surgery or needles don't hurt a bit. not looking forward to sleeping tonight as I'm always on my side but see how we go, any advice is appreciated. have a great day
