March Buddies!

Hey Girls,
I am so happy to hear you area all getting on okay. I am getting really nervous for today (it's only 9:15am here & my apt is at 3:15). My nerves are getting to me for sure though. I have restless legs & my teeth are chattering! Crazy! I thought I toughened up more than this! LOL. Will they give me something to calm me down when I get there?

xoxox

I'm not sure if they will or not hun. I was feeling incredibly nervous too, but I just sat in a chair in my room and took big breaths. They gave me something immediately before the GA that helped to relax me, but I was already laying down and about to go into theatre when that happened!! I'm sure that as soon as you arrive they will make you feel incredibly reassured and the anaesthetist will come and have a chat with you as well.

I know exactly how you're feeling, as I felt it myself just yesterday, but you're going to be fine, and it's going to be all over before you know it. Maybe stick a film on or something to distract you before you have to leave, or just do as much as you can to keep your mind off of it.

Good luck hun, I'll be thinking of you!!

Hey all.
Good luck today Elleblondie thinking of you. Its a mind thing. Just try to think about other things and that its happening to someone else.
As I am the first March buddy I feel its my responsibility to just let you all know that I had a real dip yesterday and had zero energy, felt really low and couldnt stop sleeping. Apparently its the anasthetic leaving your body but thought I would let you know in case it happens to you and then you can be prepared.
I feel brilliant today now. haven't took a pain killer for about 24 hours but energy wise am back on track so if it happens to you, just role with it until it passes and then you will be back on track.

Keep us posted with your progress. God my sticky dressing is starting to itch like mad.

The sun shining does make me think about the summer and having boobs to put in a bikini and that makes me smile for sure

Thanks for letting us know hun!! It's really useful to know what to expect, as I'm hoping to be back in uni on Monday, and I might not be able to make it if that happens to me then!! Fingers crossed that it happens this weekend, if it does!!

Glad to hear you're feeling so much better today though. Have you noticed much of a change at all in your boobies yet?

No. I cant really see much of mine except the nipples. Khan straps them up with tape quite literally. will try and send a photo so that you can see so they dont have much room to grow or change until it comes of on wednesday?

Thanks hun!

I think you've seen my pics, but I literally only have the dressings on, and I have no idea about how tight my strap should be or when I should wear it or anything. Does your tape feel quite tight?

I bet you're really looking forward to having that tape off and having a good look at them!

Hi girls..
Elle you'll be fine once you get there I'm sure, I know it'd hard to try and not worry or think about tit but it won't be long before it'll be over and done with and you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.

Feeling okay today.. I was abit low of energy earlier but I had an hours kip and now woke up fine.
I've had my mom wash hair, which was quite surprisingly easy! I just knelt down and lent over the bath, i did have my pillow there just as extra protection! Didnt hurt me tho, so wasn't as bad as i thought it might be. Had a shallow bath aswell so feel all nice and clean! And im off to get my nails done tonight round my friends!

LL I'm wearing my strap constantly and just wearing it as tight as comfortable really. So it's not really tight but feels tight enough I should be doing whateveer it is it's ment to be doing! haha.

I should really read through my post before I click send! Sorry for the typos.. I wasn't trying to make any pun with the "tit" haha.

Lol, freudian there hun?

Glad to hear you're well and feeling all refreshed!! I don't know if I'm brave enough to try for a bath today. I think I'll wait until tomorrow, when I might have a little more strength!

Have fun getting your nails done!!

to just let you all know that I had a real dip yesterday and had zero energy, felt really low and couldnt stop sleeping.

That seems to be right on cue for the normal 'Boobie Blues' which seems to strike many on Day 3 - so don't worry, it is the dip before everything starts to get better. From here on in, you should find things getting easier and easier.

Your pictures are great Lindylou!!! Does the incision hurt?

not at all actually. I can't even feel it. I've started to get a little itchy underneath my dressing, right in between my boobs though. That's going to be fun for the next week!!

Sounds like you're all recovering really well! Can't believe how many March boobies we've already had!

I am so excited but sooooo very scared at the same time. I am such a wimp!!! Scared of not waking up. It would be awful to die getting a boob job. Scared I will ruin my boobs, scared of complications, scared of getting the wrong size implant, scared I will regret spending this crazy amount of money. scared my boobs will be really hard and my hubby will hate them. I should stop going by Candycain and start going by Scardy Cat!!!

Bless you hun, you can tick me off for all of those things on your list. For me, it was literally that I just wanted to wake up. My anaesthetist said to me "a lot of people are frightened about not waking up, but I am afraid to tell you that you are DEFINITELY going to wake up", and he was right! You'll be fine!

I think most of the fears surround the op itself, but it really isn't all that bad. Even though I've been a bit down this evening (my OH is feeling really poorly and I've been running about after a 2 yr old so feeling a bit tender!), it's still no where near as bad as I expected.

All I'm feeling right now, if I'm really honest, is that I wonder if I'm still going to feel small once they've settled. My OH said that he thinks they suit my frame perfectly and any bigger would be too big, but I guess I expected my initial reaction to be "oh my, they're huge" and that it would take me a little while to get used to the size of them. In actual fact, my inital reaction was that they aren't as big as I thought they would be. I totally trust JM and he said that I'm going to end up with the result that I wanted based on the pic I showed him, so I know I just have to be patient.

I think what I'm trying to say is that we spend all this money and kind of think that we're going to wake up and instantly be satisfied, but actually when you wake up the journey isn't over. It's quite obvious I suppose, but the op is only the beginning.

In a few months from now, we'll all be sat here saying how glad we are that we did it, and how much happier we are with our new additions!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. 5 days but its not really its 4 cos today is nearly over. What a headcase i am. I had a half a panic attack today thinking about it, what am i going to b like n the day. I am am petrified and starting think, oh dear, what have i done. I know his is the right thing and long term it will make me happy, but boy oh boy do i wish it was all over

Well Done Shiv n LL by the way, did you guys freak out at the hospital or were you pretty calm?

Hey Marchies!

It's finally me! I have been thinking ohhhhh I have to get onto the forum! I hate leaving you all hanging. Everything for me went really well!! I woke up in a lot of pain, crying and shaking but I just verbalized what I was feeling and they took care of that quickly. I calmed down. Before I went under I felt very nervous and my nurse saw my tears rolling down my cheeks. She wiped them off and both her and my anesthesiologist held my hands and told me I was going to be fine. Apparently, I later went on a tanget of how much I love my job and how hard I have been working lately. They said it was pretty funny. I was also telling them I had hilarious dreams too but I couldn't remember them. So I did okay. I am very out of it from my pain killers so I may not be back on here too much today.
I definitely feel a tightness in my sternum and like I have an elephant standing in between my boobs!
Another funny thing actually was that apparently after surgery I was saying they don't look very big! Hahahaha, which was funny to hear becasue when the nurse showed them to me at today's appointment all I could say was how huge they are! LOL. Funny stuff.
My husband said he's very surprised at how well I am doing which is good for you up and comers! I was so fearful I can't explain it. I was scared **naughty word**! :rant: When my nurse asked me on the way to lie down before the surgery how I felt, I said "scared **naughty word**". I guess my fear was that I wasn't going to like them - this kicked in last minute. But honestly, I am in pure bliss. I love love love them! They are going to be beautiful when they are all healed! I can't wait!
Too all of you girls having your day come up please feel free to message me any fears becasue I guarentee you I had them! And make sure you use this forum to work out your thoughts - I found I was thinking of everyone on here who has helped me along the way right up to the last second. As I have said before, my friendships on here have given me strength and I'm very appreciative for everyone's love and encouragement!
Off for another rest! I'm in and out of it today still.

xoxo

Thanks EJM! You'll be fine. Once you get in there and you see your anaesthetist and stuff they'll be really reassuring and your nerves will go!

I was calm all morning. My dad took me to the hospital and stayed with me until the anaesthetist turned up. I got a little bit of nerves after he left and I realised I only had ten minutes until the op, and then it was really surreal being wheeled down to the theatre, but the team were really good and they were chatting away to me to distract me right up until the point I fell asleep.

It's over before you know it really!

Elle - I'm so glad it went well for you and that you're delighted with them hun!! I've been looking forward to hearing your story and I'm really glad you've managed to get back on and update us.
Congratulations!! Make sure you rest as much as you can, and I'll look forward to talking to you soon!

Thanks for the encouragement LL, I just know I'm gonna flip, but i'll be thinking of you and shiv and shayd and elle as I go in. If you ca do it , I can do it!!!

Elle, well done hon, so proud of you. Little bit concerned about the waking up crying in pain stuff, but I'm sure that was just a blip? My housemate and I were talking about anesthetic rambling, and we watch so many wierd tv shows about sci-fi, vampires and murder mysteries I'm just waiting to see what i come out with : )

Anyway keep us posted. I'm so proud of you all, ur an inspiration

So glad to to here from you elleblondie! I was getting a tad worried. I am soooooooo scared. Watching everyone have their turn is making it so real.
Pain and I are not friends!!!! Get some rest and keep us posted. What size implant did yoi wind up getting?
