Hi JC your boobs look amazing! how many days post op is your avatar??

That was at 11 days, thank you. Their changing every day I've been taking a pic every 2 days and there is a difference just about every time they look just a notch lower and a little softer. I just wonder how much they drop?

hi all, im happy that your ops went well and apart from discomfort everyone seems happy...my op is today and for some unknown reason im petrified. when i went to have a tummy tuck a couple years ago i didnt feel this way..its quite concerning.. i keep thinking that they wont suit me or they wont be firm enuff i wont be able to cope with children etc etc.did/does anyone else feel this way or similar????

I made myself so sick worrying I was glad when they put me out and I would stop! I defo know what you mean. I was a nervous wreck! You just have to trust your doctor. You won't even know what happened once you get on the table you just wake up look down and there they are. Just keep in mind the first day they are swollen and look nothing like what they are going to look like later. Mine looked like two traffic cones at first then they started to slowly move down thank goodness!

sigh...thanks Jc yh i think im the same i cant wait until they put me to sleep....im gonna try and get some sleep..thanks again

Today's concern is whether I am wasting my money and putting myself through unnecessary pain when I currently wear a DD anyway... Last time I was measured 2yrs ago I was 32E and although I know they shrunk a bit due to weight loss and exercise I didn't want to end up with HUGE boobs that you really can't hide for work etc. So this morning I decided to measure myself and I'm a 32C!! Wow, where the hell did they disappear to?!? It's no wonder I lost my self confidence...

Long story short... I now feel fine to ask my PS to just replace what I used to have and what I was used to for many years!! Panic over, admission form completed and posted bk - I'm ready to get my old boobies bk!! Ha!! 12 days to go and counting!! xx

I'd do it all again in a split second as well! Much less of a scary experience than I thought and I feel LOADS more confident...even 3 days out! Congrats to my July buddies!!!

Hi it does get easieer ...its really hard but your doing well keep it up ...just think ...boobs or cigs ...every time you get a craving ....it works lol xx

10 days left to wait and I'm getting very impatient... I've definitely had too much thinking time now!! One day I'm nervous and the next I'm excited, here's hoping I get an excited day on the 30th July when I'm on my way to the hospital!!

Good work on the not smoking Amy Jane, luckily I never started but the health benefits of giving up before your surgery are massive - much quicker healing time :-) xx

Moongal - how many days post surgery is your photo taken? I have lots happening in the time just after my op (wedding, christening and birthday night out!!) and I need to consider suitable outfits but don't want to have boobies on show if they are still looking a bit freaky with the swelling...

If anyone else can help that would be great too :-) thanks ladies x x

I just looked ...my oh my ...what a wonderful shades of brusing i have lol look like i hit by a truck ...no wonder its tender xx

Did I make a big mistake? Three days post op, didn't have the op I thought I was getting! Was meant to be unders from 34a to C or D, seems they were overs and monsters to boot!! Now worried about CC and numbness in the left one! Help!

? Hey come on now calm down ... its only been 3 days.... lets see what we can do . Take a deep breath first ... now u have the same surgen as me ... and trust me, i dont honestly think he wud do something that was not correct for you. He only likes the natural look. U will have one boob which is more tender than the other ... its perfectly normal. My rite one is more tender and my left one is making gurling noises now n then ... it happens so dont be alarmed. He wud of put ur implants where he thought was best for the best result ... in both short and long term . U dont want to going back in 6 mths havin them redone. The surgen we had , has a top repurtation... hence i went with him. Give it time to settle ... u will see wot he has done is correct to get wot u wanted xx

I'm pre-op but on the basis that I have researched every single thing about BA I would say not to panic! 3 days is such a short time and your body has been through a lot - there's bruising and swelling to consider.

Hopefully a post-op will put your mind at ease asap but I would certainly try to keep calm. If you are worried then you should call your surgeons office as they will no doubt be able to put you at ease...

Everything I've read and a friend who's had BA also told me to KEEP CALM when you see them because they will settle down and look less alien as the days go on.

Sending you cyber hugs

Thanks guys, just feeling a little fragile! Post op blues?

I'll be in your shoes in 2 wks time and you'll be the one reassuring me :-)

hope you feel better tomorrow x

Ur welcome . Going stir crazy here ... not used to not doing alot lol ... keep fallin asleep ... oh it now all over my facebook thanks to a very very old relation... bless shes in her 70's n my cousion askin if my boobs got made in brum stamped on them... lol swine.

Ninaella, what size did you get? sorry i didnt follow you pre-BA so dont know the details, did you get overs or unders?

i think its defo pos op blues, are you boobies massive then? Bigger than expected?

hope you feel better soon ((

Yes bigger than I thought they would be. but some must be swelling! thought I was having unders and have overs! I think I'm feeling a bit low on the confidence stakes etc.

Mio321, I bet you were mortified! but at least it's out there now lol hope your ok about it?

Had my one week PO check today, horrible bandages off replaced with steri strips which I can take off in 3 days.... AND HAVE A FULL SHOWER!! WOOHOO! cannot wait till I can wear a propper bra tho, got ages to wait! xx

Ninaella im fine about it saved me a job of telling the people who i hadnt told lol .

Now I well meaning friends trying to get me to go out for my birthday ...eshhh ....Im not up for it at all . Ive told them that i would rather wait the 6 weeks im in no rush to venture out anywhere .

Feel more like a bloated whale at the mo ...lol listen to use lot grumbling ....about this and that .

Its a massive change which non of us really knew what to expect ...not the immeditate effects anyway ... Im currently nursing a icepack lol aww bless they have become my best friends icepacks over the last too days.

I dont know about anyone else ...but now its real its kinda hard to believe ...i have no doubts about what i have done ...im really glad i have done it ...its like oooerrrrmm ok im here i have to rest ....then wot ....its a whole new ball game ...different set of feelings ..about yourself ...learning to walk in new shoes if you like. So used to thinking and feeling and seeing yourself oneway....that the new you.. what you see is really hard to grasp ...is that me ...? Yes it is

Hi girls! Well 7 sleeps and it's my turn!!!!! Only thing is, i feel really un prepared! Any suggestions of things to do/not to do or things to pack? xx

New to this and so excited to have found this forum. Thanks to everyone for their accounts before, during and after. 3 days to go for me and I'm toasting farewell to my fried eggs as my last drink. May have a last ciggy too (although I have strictly given up for the recommended 2 weeks I don't think 1 would be that disastrous). Nervous, excited, scared? Not sure how I am feeling.
