by zolza24 4th April 2011, 2:47 pm

Thank you so much x

by yettiricey 4th April 2011, 2:48 pm

cocoa butter. And palmers is the best. Its in a white bottle. Its like 3 quid from asda xxxxx

by lola_blsk 4th April 2011, 3:07 pm

To add to that- don't buy the pregnancy one (there's quite a few types now)

it just says on the front dry skin and tone skin. I used this religiously 1 month pre BA. And I've rubbed it on my boobs everyday since. And u can't even see my old stretch marks from using it xxxx

Oh ok thanks I'll let her know and I'll get myself some too xxxx I've got other scars that I'd like to try and cover (ooh makes me sound like I cut myself....I don't) :-)

by yettiricey 4th April 2011, 3:11 pm

Oh lol I just realised you posted this on the site where the lady had asked so I don't need to tell her now :-) Thanks Lola x

Hi

OK I have another question. Is it a sports bra or a support bra you wear after the BA? Where is the best (cheapest place) to get them? How many do you need....Lol I know you've got some coz you hang them round your house like your bf's Nan used to Hysterical

by lola_blsk 4th April 2011, 3:47 pm

The comfiest ones I've got (out of my 17 strong collection) are George @ Asda post surgery bras. They are £6 but if ur asdas anything like mine they are always sold out. So grab them online.

Yesterday I bought a high impact sports bra (its pink so I can make it look nice as the post surg bras limit what uu can wear) but I don't think that's too good to wear. Although very supportive it seemed to push my boobies in a lot. But if I'm having an uncomfortable night I can wack that one on now (or if the boyf is coming round haha) its more attractive than the granny hammocks! Hahaha xxx

Thank you ladies, you are great. I need to get some from asda too. What size should i get if getting 525cc and my size now is32b/c?

by yettiricey 4th April 2011, 3:58 pm

Oh I'm rubbish on sizings...I haven't a clue!

Thanks Lola will try to get some once I know what size hammocks I need!

by lola_blsk 4th April 2011, 3:59 pm

Zolza. I had no idea what sizes to get but I recommend getting a few as u need a clean one every day and I also say to get a few with a back band bigger. As day 7/8 my ribs started swelling and a 34 became to uncomfy.

I got 34 and 36 DD, E and F to start with then I keep meaning to take back the DDs and F. But memory is awful! Haha xxxxx

by yettiricey 4th April 2011, 4:00 pm

I just looked at them online and they are not as ugly as I thought they would be and the straps look pretty :-)

by zolza24 4th April 2011, 4:50 pm

I will get some 34dd and 34,36 f's i think, that should be ok- if not will send hubby for a hunt to get some bigger ones :))

by sars3dd 5th April 2011, 8:31 am

Id get a a 34E and a 36DD 36 E. I was a 34a/b before my first op and due to the swelling i wore 36E's for 2 days then I went into the 34dd's then 34d and then finally ended up in 32c's/d's. Asda and matalan use the same sports bra and they are cheap, just stock up in a 3/4 sizes.

I was covered in stretchmarks when i was pregnant so my boobies were all ready covered, luckily i havent got any new ones.

I am starting to worry about it all now and seeing my surgeon tomorrow to finalise what will happen in my op. So feeling nervous about that.

thank you. Its amazing the emotions you go through wether its nhs or private patient. its a big thing to be doing.
But i am excited about the next op, but not the pain that comes after it.

hope your ok xxx

by yettiricey 5th April 2011, 8:41 am

why do you need to have a reop hun? I had a reop 2 years after my first BA (13 years ago) and I can assure you the pain is nothing like the first one. I think I read you had unders and apparently they are more painful. Imagine the worst muscle pull in the world and that's what you went through. Trust me the reop should be much easier.

:o)

Good morning May Buddies :) I'm going to London to see Dr Singh today and to have my medical examination too- this time next month I will be on the operating table :)))) Printed some pics for him just to make sure he knows what I want and need to ake a list of questions to ask too

by shellyj 6th April 2011, 5:25 pm

hi everyone
my name is shelly and i am due to have my BA on the 18th may.
i was due to have it on the 13th april but received a phone call today and the surgeon will be out of the country due to unforeseen circumstances so i have had to change the date, i am gutted nope

hopefully he won't change the date again.

by yettiricey 7th April 2011, 8:28 am

Hi Shellyj Oh you must've been gutted....but think of the plus side you get to be on our May forum and we're the best dance

by zolza24 7th April 2011, 2:14 pm

Hi Girls :)
It all went well. Going to go for 525cc- Dr Singh said it will give my dd-e size and I'm happy with it.
I'm booked for 6th May and will go first thing in the morning due to mild latex allergy- should be done by 10am :))) Did try to convince him to do it under local for me as I am terrified of general but he said not to be silly.
They were a bit worried about the fact that when I was born I had a little hole in my heart- will contact my gp about it but I don't think it will help as I moved to England 7 years ago and they just simply won't have info about it. Never had any problems with my heart since- I think It healed over. I am active and fit, going to the gym 3x per week and do a lot of swimming. Do you think I should be getting any tests done?

by yettiricey 7th April 2011, 2:17 pm

Hiya Zolza24

Ohhh I don't know anything about holes in the heart.

Good luck for your op hun x you're the day ofter me and Bumblebee xx
