I have my BA coming up on the 5th of December...

I have my BA coming up on the 5th of December 2016, I had my initial consultation in September at Nuffield health in North staffordshire. My pre op assessment is coming up in 2 weeks and the nerves are kicking in, I hope it all goes well. I am a greatly addicted to herbal tea but after reading people's suggestion on herbs intake and surgery on here, I realised to quit herbs and spices 2 weeks before my surgery as it does contribute to thinning of the blood which could lead to excessive bleeding and bruises. I have always wanted a breast augmentation and decided to stop all herbal teas and spices cos I do not want to have any complications. My pre op-assessment is coming up in 2 weeks, I will be letting you all know how it goes.

Good luck! Do you know what size your going?
I had mine done 3 weeks tomorrow.
Get yourself a V shaped pillow if you can as that's been a great help with getting comfortable to sleep. X

@laurenjte oh, congrats on your new boobs hun, what size did you get? I will include the v pillow in my list of things to get. For my size, I am torn between 240cc and 270cc under the muscle. I have read on this forum that its best to go for the bigger option as one loses ccs under the muscle but again I also don't want to be too big as i am only 54kg and about 5.6". I am so confused and getting nervous already, I might have to leave the final decision on sizing to my surgeon.

Its so hard deciding the size. I'm 5ft 8 and 59kg. The suggested 390 -420cc over muscle as I had 5cm of breast tissue (breast fed two children,you can see on my review).
I was so worried that I'd get that [RS bleep] star look. I didn't want high profile either as I don't like them sitting too high.
They took in 360,390 and 420cc in and I said for them to do what they thought was best without me looking like I didn't want to look as they know what they are doing.
I woke up and they had done 420cc as my skin had stretch a lot when pregnant.
Now swellings gone down I'm happy I didn't go smaller, I think they suit my body shape and no one has noticed I've had them done other than the people I told. In clothes they look pretty small actually but when undressed they look bigger. I'm looking forward to seeing what they will end up like. looking forward to following your story.
I got my v neck pillow from Argos for £7 something...bargain! X

pre-op assessment 24/11/2016
My pre-op assessment was initially booked for the 21st of November but had to reschedule it to 24th of November. I got to the hospital (Nuffield health) at 10:50am and sat at the reception till 11am which was the scheduled time for my appointment. At 11am, I was met by a nice nurse that led me to the pre-op assessment room. she started the pre-op by going through what to expect on the day of surgery. I was told not to have any meal after 7am and not to have water after 11am as my surgery will be taking place after 12pm (I was not told the specific time I will be going into surgery cos they do not like patients getting worked up about timing, but I will be given a vague idea on the day of surgery) I was told the surgery will take approximately 90 minutes and I will be staying overnight at the hospital. The nurse went further to ask me some basic questions about my health, she drew some blood for blood tests, did my height, weight and blood pressure and finally the MRSA swab (armpit, nose and groin). I was also told I will be having a shower at the hospital on the day of surgery rather than at home and I will be given one of those disposable hospital knickers to wear.
I need to start getting my things together, I haven't even got my sports/surgical bra yet (saw some comfy looking ones at M&S the other day) but I plan to get everything I need including my v pillow by next week.

Cold/cough symptoms one day pre surgery
I have my BA surgery coming up tomorrow 5th Dec and I'm already having cold/cough symptoms. This is the last thing I need right now, I really really pray and hope that my surgery does not get cancelled because I want to get it done and move on to other things.
