My consultation day
had arrived, I was very nervous. My partner drove me to the
appointment;
we arrived at the hospital 15 mins early. I waited for about 5 mins
then
a man called out my name and showed me to his office, there he
introduced
himself as Mr Roberts my PS. I sat down expecting to see before and
after
photos of previous patients. He told me what implants that he would be
using if I decided to go ahead with it, he told me about the risks,
which
he assured me they were low. By this time my head was spinning I didn’t
know what questions to ask so I just listened to what he had to say. He
seemed abrupt and arrogant but I didn’t have a choice of PS like other
women do, I was lucky enough to have my BA through the n.h.s which was
then referred to a private hospital to cut waiting lists so I was stuck
with this man. He seemed to know what he was talking about but his
bedside
manner on the scale of 1-10 I would say 3. All of a sudden he asked me
"so do you want this done" I said "yes". I came out of the appointment
and tried to tell my partner all about it but my mind went blank I only
remember little bits so a few days later I rang the hospital to ask for
another appointment with him. In the mean time I typed in breast
implants
on the net and this is when I found this site. I read lots of info and
looked at all the pics from here.

This time I took my
sister with me to the appointment I explained that a lot of what he
told
me the last time we spoke I couldn’t remember so I asked him to go
through
it again for me, his reply was " well you ask me questions and I will
answer
them" so I began with my list of questions. I asked to see pictures of
his work and to my amazement he said he didn’t have any. I then asked
to
see the implant he took it out of his drawer and said "catch" I was
really
shocked at his attitude. After the appointment I spent lots of time on
the net looking at all the info I could find, I think I learnt more
from
the net than my PS.
The days went by and my date for the ba was drawing nearer. I began to have second, third and fourth thoughts, was I doing the right thing? Should I trusting this man with my life? All the usual questions. I came on this site and posted a chat time 3 days before I was having it done, people came and answered any questions or concerns that I had. I felt so much better having talked to people who had gone through what I was about to go through. One of the questions I asked was, knowing what you know now would you go through it all again? Not one person said they wouldn’t do it again so I figured it couldn’t be all that bad. Still I went through all the emotions possible.

The day of the
operation.
I woke up around 7 am feeling really nervous I managed to eat half a
piece
of toast, I got my son ready for school, said goodbye then my partner
took
him. I was told to be at the hospital for 12 p.m it was the longest
morning
I have ever had It was now time to leave for the hospital I felt sick
with
worry my hands were sweating. My partner tried to calm me down but it
didn’t
work. We got to the hospital at 11:45a.m so I told reception I was
early
and we sat down and waited. A lady called me and another girl, she then
showed us to our rooms. The nurse came in and did all the usual checks.
She handed me a sexy pair of pants and stocking that I had to wear for
surgery and she told me I would be going down at 4p.m and to change
into
the stuff she gave me about 3:30 p.m. I played with my daughter and
watched
some TV. They came in at 4:03 p.m my heart began to race, I said
goodbye
and gave my little girl a kiss then they wheeled me down to the
preparation
room. It was so quiet there then the anaesthetist came in and tried to
put the needle in the side of my wrist, it seemed like ages but then he
gave up and placed it on the top of my left hand, there was no counting
I lay there for a few moments, the nurse wiped a tear from my cheek,
rubbed
my arm and told me everything will be fine, that’s all I remember.
I woke up back in my room lying flat on my back, I looked round to see my partner, my daughter and my son waiting for me. I looked down and the first thing I saw was these tubes with blood in them, I started to panic thinking something had gone horribly wrong my partner called the nurse and she came in and explained they were drains and why they were put there. I calmed down then looked to see how id changed WOW I couldn’t believe I was lying there with decent size breasts, I didn’t feel much pain just tightness, I wasn’t wearing any bra the rest of the evening I kept looking down to make sure they were really there. I needed help getting out of bed, OUCH I stood up and that’s when I felt the pain it was the weight resting on the incisions. I went to the toilet then straight back to bed I felt much more comfortable propped up. The nurse gave me a shot of anti-biotic and some pain medication, I slept on and off that evening. I woke up because I’d moved my hand and pulled the needle out I called the nurse and she said she would find the doctor to put it back in for me. He came in and put a new one in my right hand this time. The times I was awake I was on the phone to my partner and my sister. I had a fan blowing on me all night.

Morning came I woke
up at 5 a.m then the nurse gave me more meds, she checked my temp still
a little high it was dull and pouring with rain outside she had to open
the window for me .Had breakfast at 7a.m toast and coffee.
8:30 a.m PS came in
and looked at the drains told me that they could come out and I could
go
home which cheered me up. I called my partner to tell him to come and
pick
me up. I got in the car where I saw a big bouquet of flowers waiting
for
me in the car. The journey home was horrible every bump in the road
felt
like a huge hole I was glad to get home. I settled on the sofa where I
stayed for the rest of the day. By the third day the pain was easing
and
I was feeling much better.
