Thank you hun, honestly you’ll be fine.
I would take everything she says about pain and dizziness with a pinch of salt.
She loves a bit of attention and like I say good on her for actually bringing the whole thing to a public forum because it’s an important subject.
But she shouldn’t of added her own piss poor pain threshold horror story to it, it’s just going to make people who do see that very scared and put off of going through it.
I feel like I should clear up her mess of an explanation.
The worst part is the whole thinking about it beforehand, and I’ve never given birth but I wouldn’t liken it to that not even close.
So the whole hypnobirthing nonsense is exactly that.
Yes the needle stings, if you’ve had needles before then you’ll know that it’s not a pleasant feeling but it’s over in a second and it becomes numb pretty quickly.
They don’t just start cutting you open, they check to make sure it’s definitely numb first.
If you can feel them poking that area then they add a little more but you cannot feel the needles as it’s partially numb anyway it’s just to be sure.
They then make sure you’re comfortable before they start cutting the mole out, you won’t see anything and they talk to you the whole time to take your mind off of it.
Yes you can feel them pulling and tugging a bit at the area but it’s more so an odd sensation of being prodded while having pins and needles.
You’ll have internal stitches, they dissolve. The external is more where the tugging takes place as they’re obviously stitching you back together. It just feels like they’re pinching your skin with no feeling.
They then put a dressing on and you have to lay there for a couple of mins after while they explain the cleaning and stitches removal.
Then they let you sit up and if you’re ok you can stand and then leave.
I’ve always been fine and never had dizziness, the whole thing takes about 45mins from start to finish.
After the injection wears off, it is sore and you can’t really lay on the area but depending on your pain threshold it’s similar to if you have a normal cut It’s tender.
I drove myself home after every mole removal apart from my big op as I was under general anaesthetic.
I didn’t need anybody to nurse maid me and I went back to work.

Honestly hun, don’t be scared. It’s all over quickly, it becomes more annoying as the healing goes on as you can’t itch it. That’s the worst of it.
If you’re worried then take someone but the doctors/nurses know exactly what they’re doing and do them weekly.
I hope it all goes well x
my biggest error was wearing jeans and not bringing comfy joggers. Don’t know what I was thinking 
it was absolutely nothing. As others have said the worst is the itching after a few days. I found the area a little tender about 8hours later but nothing unbearable. Lily is a dramatic freak
. There will be a lot of people who will watch her stories and will take her word for it! 
. So thanks for explaining your experiences, maybe some of her followers will stumble upon your posts and realize that Lily is just overreacting (as usual)
