dont think i can do it

Hi everyone, it is 10 days till my op and i dont know if i can go through with it. I am so absolutely petrified i am worrying about every scenario possible and am convinced something awful is going to happen and i wont be coming home again to see my wee boy. I know this sounds stupid and it was my decision but now I feel selfish and I have actually been in tears this morning worrying about something happening.

I have read a lot of posts like this. It is completely normal to feel like this. I don't think there is a woman in the universe who hasn't had similar feelings to you in the run up to the operation.

I would get a piece of paper out, sit down and write down all the reasons you want to get a BA. This will remind yourself of the positive reasons for going ahead. Try to focus on those positives.

Yes, there are risks going ahead with this (but they are small) and the recuperation may not be easy (remember it can take up to a year for the full result of your BA), but I think the stats say that most woman are pleased, if not delighted, with the results.

It IS totally normal to feel like this and get a panic on about it. The key is to not let yourself OVER PANIC calm down, do some breathing excercises and chant to yourself "I want this, i want this" or other such mantra to help you thru it (i was still chanting to myself on the operating table trying not to panic, but it was all fine).

You'll be absolutely fine my lovely, they do this op hundreds of times a week they know exactly what they are doing. The surgeon and all the staff are highly trained professionals and it'll be over in no time then you'll be wondering what all the fuss was about :)

I was terrified on the day but i can honestly say it was nothing compared to what i thought and i am so glad i went thru with it, ive never been happier x

Hey hun - im going to say the same thing as the others it IS completely normal to feel this way - this is coming from experience, i was the biggest chicken in the world, honestly. I over read things on the internet,assumed everything that could go wrong will happen to me...my advise would be if you are reading too much on the net just take a step back, breath, and relax and stop reading it. Its good to be informed about all risks etc, but now u need to put them to the back of your mind - girls on here used to say this to me, i was like hoooowwwww! But when i FINALLY booked i did exactly that - put it to back of my mind, thought positive and im now thrilled i went thru it.

You my darling are going to be just fine dont think i can do it 571992

It is normal as the others have said hun. You will be fine. You just have a bit of pre op nerves

How your feeling right now hun is totally normal......... dont think i can do it 571992

I done the same 5 years ago and bottled it last minute due to my fears about what will happen and the though of leaving behind my 4 beautiful children.....I regreted it after so much it really got me down....so when the time came again 5 years later I mustered all the strength i had and had my B.A. It was the best thing I have ever done and my children benifit from how much more confidence I have and Im much more happier in myself, which rubs off on them!

Im not going to lie and say I wasnt scared when they took me down to theatre but I stayed strong and now im as happy as i could ever be...

Its worth it in the end

It is normal to feel this way. You have to think why you want this done and of the end results hun, x

i cant believe it i have bottled it and postponed.. not the best idea now i know because its going to give me longer to sit and prophet about things. But i am going to use the extra time positively to thoroughly make sure i am 100% about the size I want and it will give me a chance to have my holiday without worrying about recovery and also i can arrange to have a fortnight off work instead of a week and ensure i have childcare for the first entire week. I know I am just making excuses for my actions but I think if I have a total foolproof action plan in place I will feel alot better. Thanks for all your reassurance guys, I am definitely going ahead in the next couple of months just need a little more time. dont think i can do it 375568

Aww hun, not sure if you'll read this but want to wish you all the best. You've obviously got your reasons for postponing, and like you say it will give you more time to research everything and be sure of what you want.

Hopefully we'll see you again soon.
