i reached hospital at 7 in the morning.Went into casuality and my friend paid 34K in adavance.The staff and nurses were quite friendly and they said there was nothing to be worried.I, was infact, excited a lil bit about the whole genereal anaesthasia experience ;)From the conversation of the nurses , i guessed that gyne surgery was quite a common affair in the hospital and they were casual about it.They gave me a gown and a lungi to wear and did some test on me.I was then wheeled off to the operatin room.
In the pre - OR , i was given a drip of saline and had to wait till around 940 for the doc to arrive.I was the taken to the OR in a stretched.The doc saw me and he was cheerful and cracked some jokes at the nurses.He then asked me to remove my gown and took some pics and did the markings.After that the nurse administered the anaestasia.I actually thot it was anitbiotic and i felt weird since i dint think antibiotics could cause u dizzined , lol And that was the last thing i remembered and next scene was a nurse standing by me saying tat op went well.i was also wearing the corset at that time(the one which doesnt cover your stomach).i asked her the time and she said it was 1130.I have a faint memory of tilting my head side to side somewhere immediately after the ops .This happened more than once and when i was doing so , somebody would call out my name and i would stop tilting immediately.This was kind of weird
Then i was wheeled off to the general AC ward.It had 3 beds and there was one other guy with me.The nurse gave me more drips and i rested till 230 after wich i had some water and "kanji" ;)The nurse askd me to check wheter i cud pee properly.I thot it as weird but only when i tried doin so i found that it was really difficult and took me around 5 minutes to pee.When i tried too hard some blood was seeping through the bandages and visible in my corset.This sacred me.When i called up the nurse she said they would have to keep me in the hospital overnight if i couldnt peeand she also said the blood coming out in small amount was normal.I got scared and did a quick google search and found that this was common after the surgery.i drank plenty of water.After 3-4 times ,i could urinate much more effortlessly and that was a relief .the doc had aroudn 4 surgeries that day and it was not until 630 that he came to visit me.The visit was was brief and he asked me if i could walk,drink and eat properly.When i replied in postive,he said to get out of the hospital without wasting much time.All in all , a really friendly and jovial person
i got the medicines from the pharmacy.Since my parents dint know about the surgery i decided to stay in a hotel for 3 days for recovery.The pain was very minimum and doc encouraged me to do some stretching and stuffs , but not to lift weights.i spent time by watchin tv and browsing through movies in my lap.i went out for an evening stroll every day and dint feel any pain as such.i this is my 4th day post op and doc had said not to remve the corset for 5 days.But i couldnt live with the suspense and remved the corset today morning for just 5 min the chest looks really flat .There is swelling on my upper chest and slight numbness near areola.The bandages are to the side of each nipple under the armpit.Im still keeping my fingers crossed on the results as the real results would only be seen after a month or so, during which , the sweelling could increase.
I"ll soon get you updated on the pics.For the time being im confused at what reason il tell my parents for wearing a corset.If i say back pain they"ll immediatel take me to see a doc.Guess il have to say some sorta posture correction or type of gym belt to get the correct chest shape
