Having a bit of a panic...

by spittingfairy 2nd November 2011, 8:00 am

It's my turn tomorrow,and it's only today that I'm actually feeling really scared! I feel sick,and panicky.

I'm just worried in case something goes wrong (not with the op,but with my boobs,CC or something!),and even though I've been wanting this for 13 years I'm wondering if I'm doing the right thing,and whether I'll regret it!

Is it normal to feel like this? I know 100000% that I want it,but this morning I just feel terrified! I'm having to go on my own too,which I know will make it worse for me,but as I have to be there at 7am I'm hoping I'm first on the list.

Did anyone else feel like this?! x

Judging by what the other threads have divulged... VERY normal, I bet it's a mixture of excitement and the unknown...but isn't that what life is all about? Take a risk, enjoy the result or learn for the next time...you'll be great. :thumbs: If you worry about it it's just gunna take away from the joy that you have finally achieved what you want to achieve babe... No stress!! dance

Stress will gain nothing, be relaxed and enjoy the ride... next time you need an op (hopefully just to replace them after a few long years) you won't have these same feelings... enjoy your fear and exitement.. it'll be worth it I bet!! Give You

Oh hun, don't worry, its normal to feel this way, but saying its normal doesn't make it better. You'll do fine and I'm sure all will go amazingly, just think, this time next week you'll be snapping pictures and looking forward to buy new bras, getting measured etc, and you'll already be over the worst of the BA, you'll be healing and trying to locate that d&f fairy.lol

Good luck and try to relax, its going to be one of the best things you'll ever do for yourself.

Absoulutlie compleatly normal. I was a wreck a week before so your doing really well, I thought god what am I doing to my body, I was made like this, this is how I'm suppose to be.
Take a few deep breaths and just remind yourself of all the times you look in the mirror and are unhappy. Tomorrow you will be looking at a reflection that you always wanted.
You will be fine it will be the best thing you ever do.
Sending you lots of huggs and thinking of you for tomorrow, good luck Hun xxxx

It is perfectly normal hun , when u know its really gonna happen suddenly the nerves kick in. I was really excited about mine but i did get a lot of stomach churning the day before. I had to go on my own too, i went on the train up to London from Bournemouth but the staff were so nice and really looked after me. I also took my phone so i was on that every five minutes talking to all my family telling them how wonderful i thought my boobs were hehe xxx Good luck hun and enjoy ur big day xx

Good luck sweet. It is perfectly normal hun, I felt petrified in the few days leading up to my BA. I couldn't sleep or eat. I was such a bag of nerves, wondering if I was doing the right thing, was I being selfish, worrying if something happened. But I needn't have worried at all! I promise you hun, it is a piece of cake (and If I can do it, anyone can!).

I was so frightened about the Op and the GA itself but I really enjoyed the whole experience. They put you to sleep so quickly and easily and as if by a blink of an eye you are awake.

They do these procedures every single day and it really is a very minor procedure. You will be fine hun I promise. xxxxxxxx

Hey hun - PERFECTLY normal! I had to go myself as well, and I drove myself in (had BF pick me up at night as he couldn't get off work) and as I was sitting in the parking lot I almost didn't go in! I almost lied and told them I'd eaten (so they couldn't give anesthesia) I was a mess. But I just kept doing the next step and before I knew it I was in recovery being told I had Ds!!! I know it doesn't help really, but almost 100% of girls are happier after - I was - and honestly I'd do it again for this feeling!!

Good luck sweet!

Hey chick,

I'm in exactly the same boat! Just wanted to send you lots of love and hugs for tomorrow. It will be an amazing experience and you will be soooo happy you did it. I can't wait to join you and swap stories next week!

I was exactly the same and I also went alone. I had to drop my two kids to creche and take a bus for two hours followed by a taxi. I arrived at 12 and had my op at 4. To be honest I was glad I was on my own, i was too nervous to talk and think i would have fallen apart if someone was with me. I couldnt even read my magazines my mind was racing. At around 3 I was really tired, probably from starvation lol and I fell asleep which still shocks me. Calm just came over me. I knew once I went into the operating theatre I would be asleep and know nothing until it was over. I dreaded waking up feeling cold and sick because I had never had a GA before but I woke up feeling really warm and not at all sick. It was a great experience xx

by spittingfairy 2nd November 2011, 8:54 pm

Thanks again everyone. I feel a bit better now,which is odd because now it's even closer!

I actually feel a bit more excited than scared right now,although I bet I feel sick again in a minute!

Thank you all for being so helpful,hopefully I'll get back on soon with my story. (Nope,can't believe that I'm going to have a BA story,aarrgghhh!!)

by louisajane82 2nd November 2011, 9:54 pm

hey hun, best of luck for tomorrow! Nerves are totally normal, I had a few OMG what am I doing??? moments in the week before, luckily I had a big job the day before my op (I work as a photographer) so I was freaking out about that, didn't have much of a chance to freak out about the BA! Just remember why you're doing it and how much difference it will make to you every day once it's done dance
