help!! Freaking out!!

by Kas 28th September 2010, 9:42 pm

Ok so... I have wanted my suregry forever but now I have it booked and paid for Im freaking out!!.
I not sure why. Im nervous that they are going to be too big.. (im getting 330cc overs) Im worried that everyone will notice.
I feel guilty that i wont be able to pick up my childern for aages!!!
I wont be able to wash myself..
Im worried about how sore im going to be. How long i will not be able to do things for. I feel guilty about getting surgery (not sure why) aagghhh

I know it is irrational but cant seem to control myself.
Anyone else feel like this or have any advice.
Maybe i just need a big slap across the face LOL
How sore will i really be? Is it really that bad or am i just working myself up!!

SLAP!!!! LOL. You want this. You know you do. You're just having last minute jitters! Which is completely natural. The pain is bearable, today is my 3rd day post op and I feel so much better already. The worst things are the sickness and constipation,which are treatable. 330cc isn't a huge implant so it's not going to be that obvious. Start wearing really padded bras now so it'll be less noticeable x

Aww hun all of what you have said is sooo normal. I was freaking out big time in the days going up to my BA and paying the full balance does make it all seem so much more real.

I wasnt in any pain as such it was more discomfort although everyone is different. But aslong as you take the meds then you should be fine. You will need a hand with your children though (I dont have kids myself) and also doing general chores.

All in all though hun its really not that bad. xx

by Kas 28th September 2010, 9:56 pm

Girls you dont know how much i appreciate your comments. Ive heard soo many stories of girls not being able to do anything for weeks.

So its just more discomfort then??
Dont get me wrong im not the type of person to sit around and moan. I went to spin classes after my last little boy was only 2 weeks old and i had stitches etc. Im just worried how bad this will be judging by other stories!

by pinkbabe 28th September 2010, 10:05 pm

I found it was more discomfort yeah hun, but peoples pain thresholders do differ. A lot of girls find they get bloated and constipation due to the GA so it might be an idea to get fruit and laxatives in. xx

As you are having overs it shouldn't be bad at all. Not that unders are bad, you just wont get the stretched muscle feeling like with unders. I managed on no painkillers at all (after 3 days). I didn't do much, not cause I couldn't but because I didn't want to ruin my new boobies, so I rested as instructed.
I think we all get the pre op jitters and guilt, what you are feeling is totally normal, just be strong and remember why you are doing it. It is totally worth it.

Like others have said, we all have different pain thresholds and different levels of pain from our BA. I was painkiller free during the day after 4 days but took it easy so I gave my new boobs the best recovery possible. I was more uncomfortable than anything to be honest but we are all different. I found the worst thing being the constipation due to painkillers and GA but that goes.

I expected the recovery to be a lot worse. If you expect the worst, anything better will be a bonus! We all get pre op jitters, and feel guilty but you are doing this for a reason, try to remember that and stay strong.

Me too Hun, no real pain just discomfort, only had paracetamol from day 1, was back to work on day 9. Like others girls have said make sure you get plenty of rest. I did NOTHING for the time I was off work, so the hardest thing was being tired when I wnet back. IF you've had kids, this will be no problem for you at all. Just sit back and enjoy it chick xx

Hey Kas,
I am in for my BA the day b 4 u and I totally freaked when I made my final payment for about 2 or 3 days about EVERYTHING!!! THen I calmed down a bit then just last Tuesday I had my final consult and once again went into full panic mode I had heart palpitaltions my mouth was dry and I could not eat for 2 days I was so anxious about it all... so u are totally the norm freaking out over this we just have to keep in mind the final result and really there is not much in life that comes easy so I expect a bit of pain and discomfort but it is just temporary and we will have forever after with beautiful boobies!
I have to say though I have now stopped worrying about it all and I am just excited!! Although I will probably b a mess the day of, lol!
Good luck hunni you will b fine!

Not being able to pick up my little ones was something I felt really worried and guilty about before, but it wasn't as bad as I thought, I was picking up my baby the next day (cos I missed him so much! but he's only 10 weeks) and I picked up my 20month old after a week and she's huge. The recovery hasn't been easy but it's been much better than I expected, and waaay easier than having kids or anything like that!
You'll be alright.

arrhh hun, i had feelings like this, u about to feel like it ur make a change to ur body. ull be fine, and like the other girls have said everyones pain threashold is different i had unders and i thought i hurt, but when it comes to pain im a wimp lol.. and with the kiddies,just try sit on floor with them rather than picking them up, i think it was about ten days until i could allow my self to do little things bit by bit xx

by kittie 29th September 2010, 9:15 am

My little girl is 5 so I wasn't worried about lifting her but did think should I go through with GA with all the risks associated, was it just selfish. However, I realised that I was so unhappy with my boobs that a BA would make me happier and improve my confidence, which can only have a good effect on my family.

I took my daughter swimming for the first time in a very long time at the weekend, and it was so good to not be worrying about how I looked in my bikini and able to just enjoy myself and have fun with her.

by Peachy34 29th September 2010, 12:56 pm

As the girls say everyone is different. Just because you can't lift your little one doesn't mean you can't have them sat on your knee for a cuddle. I have an 8 month old and lifted her occasionally after about 5 days. Having overs generally means a quicker recovery time but your body will tell you if you are oing too much after your op. I might have lifted the baby but I didn't try any housework or anything for a while to compensate. As for the nerves everyone gets them hun its more natural to feel that way than to not xx

by sars3dd 29th September 2010, 1:09 pm

i freaked out to and nearly cancelled. am stil not 100% sure i did the right thing though. however the day after surgery the.nurses told me to get up and showered before they would let me home, i didnt find this a problem at all x

by Kas 29th September 2010, 3:48 pm

Thanks girls, I dont feel too bacd today but there is another few times for me to change my mind yet today LOL

mrsm that is my main thing that i wont be able to hold my little babys.. I would feel soo guilty if i was in pain for weeks and could not pick them if they cried :( Imagine them with their arms out crying and you have to get daddy to pick them up.

by Carlito 1st October 2010, 9:06 pm

Calm down crazy.... Tale a zanex e Hysterical

u will be fine sis!! I will hug the baba's xxx

by NurseSophie89 1st October 2010, 9:09 pm

Babe its totally normal to feel this way, what you are doing is life changing! If you didnt feel scared and nervous i'd be worried! At the end of the day you just have to take a big deep breath and think 'is this really what i want.' And we are all here for you.. rant away and we will help! xx

by lucyt 1st October 2010, 9:15 pm

Felt exactly the same in the week before ba, came so close to backing out and on the day there was a problem with implant size and just thought argh! What a I doing??
BUT now a few days later I'm wondering what all the
fuss was about (even if a bit sore) and am so glad I went thro with it. Kids think I have a bad back so know I can't pick them up or do too much but still getting plenty of cuddles on sofa.
You'll be fine don't worry.

by daisydoodle 2nd October 2010, 9:40 am
