Having Surgery in 3 months by NHS

[RCW]

Hi,
Im 18 and had an issue with my breasts since I was about 10/11 and I'm really happy to say that Im having surgery in 3 months via the NHS and have a few questions.

1. Do they provide you with a compression for after surgery
2. How long do they usually keep you in for the after surgery (after overnight)
3. I read on another topic that they place drains on you is that the "waste" tube or something else as Im not looking forward to it   

The doctor said that he would lipo me but not all of it, were Im a big guy he said it would look un-natural. should I ask that he removes the gland also?

one more 

Is surgery done by the NHS really that bad?

Thanks

1: I highly doubt they will supply you with a compression vest / dressing after the operation

2:  1 night if everything goes well..... more if not, remember they don't have bed space to waste so you will be out as soon as you are fit to go.

3:  The drains remove any fluid / swelling from the general area, they are thin little plastic tubes which they leave in, about 6 to 8 inches (roughly) I guess are inside your body with the rest of the tube coming out attached to bottles where they can monitor how much is coming out.   

 Pain wise, I can't help but feel most the guys on here are complete wimps, I've had a total of 14 drains in over 3 operations this year, and I can honestly say only two of them were truely painful to come out, and even that is only about 15 seconds of a stinging sensation; mainly caused by the fact that the nurse was pulling on the drain when it was still held in place  , once she cut the holding stitch thingy it was fine.

Dunno about lipo really, I had mine cut out / off.....    it is the hard lumpy tissue (gland?) which I think they struggle to remove with standard lipo, which is why a lot of people get a little cut around the nipple area and have that lumpy stuff cut out at the same time.
