Hi Seabreeze Yes, I had it.  They were very good in the hospital, I had 2 panic attacks and was in tears at time but they let my husband stay with me.  The surgeon had arranged for him to walk down to the theatre with me and wait until I had to go in for the anesthetic.  He was also there when I went into  second stage recovery. I am very sore but I suppose that's to be expected.  I was surprised where they cut me, the indentation was underneath but I have a dressing in which goes right through my nipple and it keeps tingling as if I am getting an electric shock.
