Adriana Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Well good morning ladies, Today is the day the 5th of September 2012 when my body will take a change forever. Last night was sleepless the nerves started then the excitement then nerves and I am sure this will continue right up until 2.30 when I go in for surgery. Its a funny experience for a women and only a women would know this when you become so attached to what you have, last night I had a little moment where I got a little glassy eyed thinking to myself I am about to hurt what has been with me the last 29 years and I am not sure if I can do that. It may sound weird but it kind of got to me until I had my partner take some before photos and saw in my head how much better they will ultimately look and knew this will be all worth it. I plan on keeping everyone up to date day by day in this thread about how I am going what has been happening and how I am progressing with everything, so stay tuned as I am sure those that have traveled the path before me will know the next few days will be a tad boring and painful and I will need some excitement hence the updates and replying hopefully to all my friends replies on here. Kindest Regards Adriana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good in a way because by the time I get home I will be ready for bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriana Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 The first of many replies to come. Good morning ladies and thank you so much for all the well wishes and support. Sorry for the late reply but due to me not feeling very well this is the soonest I could get on here. I will give you a run down of what happen. We arrived at the hospital 20 mins early and all was fine, filled out and checked the appropriate paper work and was schedule to go in at 2.30. At this time the receptionist said I will let you say your goodbyes and take you through. At this point my eyes lit up thinking what I have to sit here for the next two and a half hours by myself when I am already freaking out. Anyway I kept my phone on me this is a must girls despite them saying no valuables as you need the support, well I did of your loved ones its amazing the difference a few positive words makes. An hour passed me sitting there not doing much and then this lovely crazy funny Asian women came in and my nerves calm a little. She was super excited for me which made me a little excited and I got prepped. Another hour had passed and by this time it was 2.00 and I am thinking not much longer now, but how wrong was I. I eventually made it into theater by 3.00, I looked at the clock, having been asked to fast since seven that morning I knew things were not going to be good when I woke and how right was I. After waking up around 6.30 my initial question was has it been done yet and then I went to sit up and ouchy yeah it was done. I am only small so after fasting for 8 HOURS the next 3 post op was spent eating crackers provided by the nursing staff with lemonade followed by throwing up throwing up and more throwing up. I could see I was not making that trip home some thought was so easy to do. I went on a drip and by 9.30 my partner had booked a room at the pub next door and that is where we stayed for the night. We made the trip home first thing that morning feeling better although knowing I was going to most probably be sick again needed to go. The thought of being home in my own house made me push through it. For those wondering yes I was sick again but felt better for it. My partner through this whole process has been great, we made it home and he got me set up. As he had to work he then returned later that day and bathed me got me set up even more so and just made it that much easier. As far as the pain side is concerned, my boobs are not so sore but my lower back my tummy and my sides are crazy. I can only describe it as what a kick boxer must feel like the next day of a fight. I have been using frozen peas to reduce the swelling on my boobs and this has helped some what so I can only assume moving them down to my belly and sides will do the same is that correct ? I know in the end it will be all worth it and the final result will speak for itself. They do look amazing as they are sitting now and I promise girls there will be pics to follow so keep checking back. I cant thank the nursing staff enough at the hospital. They went beyond and above what they had to do even staying back after there shift to keep an eye on me. I will be sure to get a gift pack together once I am up and about more freely. I guess ladies if there is anything you may suggest that would make the pain more bare able I am all ears. They say the swelling passes from your boobs down through your tummy and out so I can only hope that this sharp pain will be over soon. Once again thank you so much for all your well wishes, it keeps the smile on my face knowing there is more than just one person thinking of me.

bettywilma Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi Adriana, I bet you are glad it's all over and you are on the path to recovery. Hope you are feeling better soon. Best wishes BW xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriana Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks BW.. I'm sure I'm through the worst and im glad its finally over. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Oh sorry to hear you were soo sick Adrianna . I am worried I will be too. I was vomiting for a day or 2 after my last surgery. The peas/ cold packs should help with pain and swelling. Also you might want to see if your partner can go to the supermarket and get some lunch size gel freezer packs. Someone else mentioned them being great as they are cheap and you can fit and keep them in your bra. Hope the rest of your recovery goes well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
