I have to go to one hospital at 9.30 for blue dye then be at next hospital for 11 and have been advised I am 2nd on list but consultant does not start performing until 12 so I am guessing I will go down about 2.30 ish depending on how long first patient surgery is but have been told mine will be about an hour and 45 minutes. I only know because bcn told me but she said runningbirder could change x
Jen x big hugs and wishing you a speedy recovery sorry my last reply was meant for another post but wifi here is really bad and seems to have froze and posted on wrong comment lol ? would rather blame wifi than admit I am daft xx
I am having my surgery Wednesday afternoon. I am first on the afternoon list. Thank goodness I asked! I have to be there at 7am and was originally told not to eat from 22h00 the night before. Now I have been told I can have breakfast before going to the hospital. Blue dye (I sit true it can take a year to work its wasy out of your system?) and then hang around until sometime in the afternoon. Bought my pjs today, from Sainsury’s, with little caravans all over, and a Sudoku book.
Cathy I have been told I can eat up to 6am ?
Just reading this with my husband and he has offered to pinch me to make me cry so I get a photo lol x I dated him to try it ? x
Dared not dated damn autocorrect x
Here you all are! Wonderful news your feeling well after your surgeries ladies!
So glad someone mentioned the green poop too as I was not expecting that, so anyone waiting for op still will at least be expecting it…was a bit of a shock!!!
I’m a week post surgery now and progressing well. Feel fully back to myself now, just have a sore arm pit. Boob is fine though. Annoyances for me are I now have a cold, and I’m getting more fed up with my bras, as the only ones I could find are 34 back (I wear 30) so I feel I’m constantly fiddling with them as they are moving around a bit. Can’t wait to be back in my normal ones!
Still 5 days until i see the surgeon, the feels like it takes forever! Fingers crossed for clear margin and no lymph involvement, don’t want more surgery!
Glad you are doing well Xena.
I was very disappointed that I didn’t get any blue /green after effects at all !!!
I think the surgeon found the lymphnodes via the radioactive injection and didn’t need to use the blue dye -at least I think that’s what she said !!!
I had radioactive injection the day before at another hospital ,then guide wire put in on morning of op and I think they inject dye during the op?
