getting the gutts to book

hi Girls

So had my consult with Mr Alvi last week really liked him and deffo the Surgeon i want to go with.. im not 100% sure on sizing contemplating between two sizes but something id have more of a chat about.. but id like to know were you girls scared to book? i feel like im trying to build up my gutts to go though and give the go ahead.. im not a risktaker with all life matters and this is something i so want to do just wish i just had the gutts to pick up the phone and go YES lol xx

I would have a few consultations, not for any other reason than to know for sure that what your surgeon has suggested is right for you. Of course going back for 2nd consultations for anything you are unsure of is a must. It's a lot of money and you want to get it right 1st time. I never have the gutts to phone anyone, but for some reason I was so excited by the thought of having my new boobies I couldn't wait to pick up the phone and ring. I'm sure some of the other girls have been in your position and they will be along to help.

I wasn't worried at all, it was something I wanted and was prepared to take a small risk to achieve it... So in that case I was DESPERATE to book it! A lot of girls have questioned what they were doing, if it's worth it etc, it's totally natural and good that you're taking it seriously!

Think about the reasons you want to go ahead with it, and whether these out weigh any potential risks... Could you walk away now and put it behind you? Once I'd made my mind up I was set and wasn't going to let nerves or anything stand in my way, and the outcome was that I have fantastic memories of my whole experience!

So many operations are performed every single day, and while there are always going to be risks involved (as there are with anything) they are uncommon.

I also agree with misf, if you've only met one surgeon then it's always good to meet atleast 1-2 more just to have something to compare to! And always discuss sizes again before your op if you're unsure... I didn't despite being advised to and sometimes I think hmmm what would the next one have been like! They can always take both into surgery on the day.x

I wasn't worried at all! I booked with the first ever surgeon I saw and im so glad I trusted my instincts, he did a great job. I had my consult on the 9th June 2011 and had my op on the 29th June 2011! So didn't have to wait long at all xxxjust all went by so fast and now my boobies r nearly a year old. I cud do it all over again it was so exciting I loved every minute( well not every minute!lol) apart from the discomfort! But it was all totally worth it.
Good luck with booking hunni, go for it xx

I was terrified!

What with two kids with never ending wants and need, a house that always seemed to need something doing to it and the most selfless husband on the planet I felt a huge amount of pressure not to book, even though I had lots of reassurance from my family.

I finally did book, but even afterwards I felt pangs of guilt for a long while, until I started to realise what a big difference my BA had made not only to my chest lol, but to me as a person. I was happier and more confident which seemed to have a big impact on how I dealt with daily situations, my family even commented on how much happy as a person I was (I must have been a miserable sod before lol). I still had kids that wanted everything, the house that needed constantly mending and the selfless gorgeous hubby, but I dealt it all so much better...

Booking a BA is such a personal thing and it definately has to feel right for YOU before booking. misf1 has given excellent advice as she always does in suggesting you see more than just one surgeon, if only to have other surgery plans to compare to ensure you understand and know you're choosing the right option for you.

Take your time lovely, there's no rush, while you're still undecided it won't hurt for you to continue researching, possibly book another couple of consultations? and we'll be here should you need us too lovely. xx

thanks for replys girls.. I keep trying to post back.. my posts wont show!.. third time lucky..
I went to 4 consultations last summer but i didnt trust the companys or sometimes the surgeon didnt feel the 'one' i got so confused i gave up so i came back in feb and decided i was going to see this last one id heard about..

Altw- I suppose i could just walk away as i did before but found my self back.. i dont have alot of confidence in getting my little ones out & i suppose that will always be with me if i did walk away. i want to be confident & in my body which im simply not..& throw away my ultra padded bras LOL ..

i also have a very minor tublular apperance so its also the shape i dont like.. i think i just need to stop being a wimp and take the jump its something i have been researching and thinkiing about for about a year.. xxx

TOTALLY understand this feeling! For absolute years it's been "if I had the money I'd have a boob job", it was even my password to log onto my work computer to keep me motivated to actually go to work

By last year I decided I had 2 options, I could get on with my life and force myself to get over the fact I've never been gifted on top, continue doing squats and pretending to everyone "I haven't got the boobs so I'm getting the bum" or I could man up (so to speak), save up and get it done! Either way I couldnt keep saying I hated my body as it was... It was just no way to live.

Whatever you decide, make sure it's for YOU and you only. In waiting that's ultimately what I did, I no longer cared what other people thought about my boobs I just couldn't stand looking at them myself (mine were wonky and small).

Either way girls are here to support you whether you do or don't go through with it, and to help with any research, questions or concerns while you decide x

Absolutely everything all the girls have said on the posts are right. I loved the whole process from start to finish. 1st and 2nd time and would do it again in a heartbeat. But only you can decide for yourself. Good luck hun whatever you decide and remember with this wonderful forum you will get all the support you need, the girls are great X

I think you'll just know when you're ready, its a big thing that you're doing so take your time and don't rush yourself honey. I was ready from day 1 haha, I literally had my consult and had my surgery one moth later. I couldnt get in there quick enough and had no worries/reservations at all.. I was just very ready x

thanks girls.. i think im just over thinking the 'what ifs' im going to call over the weekend and see what the next step is & go and decide on sizing/implants.. as i was so concerned about CC and the future he told me to go away and really look & research into the pure implants.. really contemplating these.. going to stick a new post up & see if any girls have had these.. i really think these would put my mind at ease xx
