Hi everyone

All done and back in my room now!

Feeling a bit sore but hey that's expected, dozing myself up with morphine.

Ended up going with 315 cc instead of 365 cc, but I'm really happy with the decision, I love them!!!!!

So happy, I can't believe it's actually happened and I have the boobs I've always wanted! Woohoo.

I hope all my other Monday girls are going well

XxxxxxxX

well done!! Im so jealous your all sorted! Great that you love them, when your up to it, youll have to post us a detailed account of your ba day! How exciting!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! XXX

ladies I am so happy for you all, and can'y wait to have mine done although I am starting to feel extremely nervous now. Had my pre op today, and have also taken my dad on the school run with me this afternoon, so is seeming very real now eeeek

Hi, Im pretty new to this website congratulations to everyone whos had their BA so far this week Im having mine this Friday feeling very excited now nerves will probably kick in again Thursday night. I have 3 children 7, 5 and 2 so really hoping for a speedy recovery luckily their going to my mother inlaws for a week!!

Congrats Dell81 and everyone else who's had it done! Hope you recover soon. I'm getting more and more excited the more stories that are posted! Congrats and good luck to those who are soon! Xx

Feeling fab now. Was going post at 4.30pm, but realized nothing would make sense haha x

Here goes.....
Arrived at 12pm and was shown to my room. I unpacked and settled down with my book.
At 12.20pm the Nurse came in, did my ob's and checked all my medical questionnaire, she measured me for surgical stockings and asked me to get changed. I asked her if I had a time slot and she said that Theatre was opening at 1pm and I was either first or second.

Two pages of my book later, 12.30pm, my PS came in, went through everything with me and I signed the consent forms. Read a page of my book.
Anaesthetist arrived at 12.45, signed more forms.
PS returned at 12.55 and marked me up, I giggled cos I had a feeling he was just drawing smiley faces on my boobs :D

I'd just sat down and picked my book up when the Assistant Anaesthetist came in and wanted to check everything once more (1.05pm), I answered all his questions and as he stood up to go I thanked him and opened my book.
He said 'you can leave your book you won't be needing it, come with me'

Aaaaaaaarggghh! Where was the 2-3 hour wait I was expecting?!?!

I walked down to the pre-op room and lay down whilst they inserted the cannula and monitor thingys. I felt quite calm. The last thing I remembered was the guys telling me the liquid might sting as it went up my vein, I told him 'It doesn't sting, just feels cold, ooh, don't ask me anything I think I'm going to sleep' :)

I recall being in Recovery, though I don't know what time, and struggling to open my eye, I had an oxygen mask on. I had no pain in my left boob, but quite a bit in the right one so I got a small dose of Morphine, then as I conked out again I can remember shivering quite a lot. As I closed my eyes someone was putting a quilt over me.

I woke up in my room at 3.45pm, so idea how long I'd been there lol
I rang hubby, text my friends and briefly spoke to my mum. DH told me later that I made no sense at 4pm hahaha

I had some toast n tea and got my book out. PS arrived at 5pm to see how I was.
He said it went really well, I'm wearing a 32c bra (but it's barely containing me) and he put in 295cc. He said the size looked very good on me in theatre. He's predicted a D cup, which I'm thrilled with.
I told him about the pain in my right boob & he felt them and said I didn't have a haematoma on the right side....phew!

I had some codeine and slept for another hour, when I woke up I felt fantastic!

I've looked in the mirror and just love them, I'm so happy!!

My left side feels fine, but the right is quite sore. It was the first side done and the ever so slightly smaller side, maybe that has something to do with it, I don't know.

I'm going home tmw, can't wait, ooh and I haven't lost any sensation in my nipples, hurray!

Well done if you got this far heehee
Hope all the other girls feel good xx

:boobchick:

so jealous ;-) I want it to be my turn!! Glad to see everyone that had theirs turned out good and good luck healing!! :-)

Good Luck to the girlies that are getting the BA this week xx
Mine is on the 14th April cant wait whoooooooo.
Not ready yet still haveto pack but i do have my bras.
Not to sure wat size i am going for because i am 34b and i wanted to go to 34DD they were putting in 380 to 420 and by seeing Rae's you have gone to 525 if you dont mind me asking wat size were you before??

Thank you

Hey hunny i am sooooo in love with my boobs its unreal! Ive wanted this for what seems like forever! I was a emptyish 32c/34b before and i wanted to look a full DD! Although 525 sounds huge it really has just filled out all the space i had! It doesnt look mega i promise! Id say dnt be afraid by the number and just go with what looks right on uour body!

Gabby i was exactly the same! Rightside was in pain and lefty was fine lol! When i had the drains out the right was fine though!!

So glad all the april girls are happy!! Good luck for everyone this week! Best thing you will do!

Rae xxx

morning peeps, well jsut to say i am now 3day post op, had loads of (upright) sleep so feel great. my assets are not as swallen as yest and im feeling lush!

hey rae 525cc hey, wow, but like you say thats probly what you needed to take you to a full look, i only had 340cc and i must say that was enough for me! also my PS did not use the drains on me, i never got told why tho?????
i am on anti-inflammitory pills and i have to wear anti-embolism stockings for two weeks (pretty). but hey il do anything for my new babies to look good.

hope all the other post BA ladies are feeling good and healing well.xxxx

sorry girls i am 2day post op.x

Hey dell! Feels like 3days though right lol!! The drains were weird!! Not all surgeons use them though! Glad your doing well hun!

Sent u a pm :flowers:
Xxx

Hi girls!

Congratulations to those of you who have been given the best thing ever, over the past few days, and good luck to those of you who have theirs coming soon!
I'm now 7days post op, going for my check-up today, but I'm feeling great! I'm able to lie pretty much flat in bed but still on my back for now, no pain just a little discomfort from the bra and breast band but all worth it!!

Hope all are having a speedy recovery!!!!!

Xxx

Aww congrats to everyone I'm so happy for you all! I can't wait for tomorrow!!! Gabby thank you for your post because I'm having 260 and 300 so practically same as you? And I am a 34b hoping for a c so if you just went up one size, I should be the same ish right? Hehe xxx

Im booked for the 26th no nerves yet!

having my BA is defo one of the best things i have ever done, i just can not wait to but new dresses and bikinis!

i am at my mums at the moe, im so thankfull to have her help as my tearaway 2 yr old is driving me mad and i would struggle to look after him alone. bless my mum has just washed my hair for me, i feel so much better.xxxx

There's no way I'm a C, Pebbles haha

My ribcage has swollen to 30 inches (from 29) and in my support bra I measure 36 in around the fullest part.
That makes me a 30E!!

The 32C bra he had me in was the cause of the pain in my boobs, I'm convinced of it. I changed into my Macom bra when I got home and it is so much more comfy.

Hopefully they'll stay roughly the size they are now, there's not too much swelling at all really.

The Arnica has worked too, I don't have a single mark/bruise on me!!!

I had 410 overs too! Which surgeon are u having?xxxx

Hiya. Im so happy that you replied to my post, ive been following your journey and really enjoyed reading about how things have gone for you! Its really put me at ease.
I have Mr Nathan doing my surgery. I really want to up my cc's to 410 and 460 but the nurse and co ordinator are not happy about it and dont think he'll go for it as he likes the natural look apparently. :dunno:
I just really dont want to be any smaller than a d/d cos i love big boobs and im only a 36b. im having 380 and 410 so fingers crossed!
I hope you're recovering well! x x

Hey!
Unfortunately I had to cancel my 20th April date as I did not manage to clear up my doubts in time and the clinic failed to convince me.
I have consultations with 2 more surgeons but it is unlikely that everything will be done by the end of April now... so I'm no longer an April buddy I guess :(
I'll post my new date as soon as I get one, I'll probably be a May buddy then!

Dell Congratulations so glad you are happy

Gabby Congratulations liked your story nice to know you are happy.

Karen try to check the size you are getting, my friend had Mr Nathan and she wasn't happy he is a lovely guy nothing wrong there but he tends to go for small natural so make sure you get what you want, you are spending a lot of money

Ah brill i will see wat my BA will do x
2 days to go cant wait whoooo.
Getting really scared now, didnt sleep well last night i hope i have a good day tomoz but it doesn't help because i am doing a sponsor silent at work tomoz raising money for Medequip4kids, everyone at work thought it was the best day so i cant talk about it, because my boss is jealous because she want hers doing as well lol ! so it going to be hard a day before and i cant talk noooo not good!!
Ah well just want to say good luck to everyone that getting the BA soon.
Thinking of all of u x

Thank you for the info. I am a bit worried now cos I dont want to be disappointed. Its alot of money and I want what I paid for!
I find him a bit intimidating so I wont put up much of a fight if he wont go bigger! xx

Shanny its are big day tomorrow. How are you feeling love? I have had a few tears when my baby went off to my friends. I am at my mums now. Think I must be being a bit quite cos she keeps asking if I am ok, bless her xxx

Just think Butterfly you will have had yours done this time tomorrow wow good luck to you and Shanny big hug coming your way

good luck ladies! you will be fine.xxx

well i must say how i am shocked that all my swelling seems to have gone, my boobies are really changing....already? is this normal? are any of you ladies seeing a change so soon? also my dressing is getting really itchy, it is clean and i have kept it dry, but its got so itchy, my OH seems to think it will be the incisions healing? i am so paranoid about getting infection.xxxx
