Pre Boobie Wobbles

I woke up this morning on an epic downer. I decided that i was cancelling my op because boobs weren't worth the expense or inconvenience (even though i've wanted them done for 20 yrs). I'm terrified that everything that can go wrong will go wrong. I'm stressed about taking time off work even though surgeon said he would give me an unfit to work note, and that i am under no obligation to tell my employer what my surgery is. Has anyone else felt like this, pre surgery?

I'm having a complete meltdown.

Apologies, i've posted in the wrong section. Ooops.

YES! Many of us have felt just as you do now MrsH

You're not at all alone sweetheart. The build up to your BA can be quite stressful and you're having 'elective surgery' it's normal for all these things to go through your head sweetheart.

Try reading through some of the BA stories we have here lovely.... Reading the joy and excitement from those women as they retell their experience on the day of surgery is amazing and a fantastic way of bringing back to you all the reasons why you wanted a BA in the first place! They help replace those anxieties with excitement and of course we're right here for you too... and we're soooooooooo excited for you, 'cos those of us on the other side, know the joy you're going to feel after you wake from your surgery and you'll NEVER look back MrsH or question your reason why.....

You really are going to be OK xx

This is all totally normal, I think I went through this before setting my mind on it though as for the 5 months from starting saving to getting my BA I didn't get nervous, butn I've had these feelings before.

I tended to put it off and think I would get over the way I felt about my body but after a few years weighing up the pros and cons I realised I had no choice but to have a BA or put it behind me... It was always going to be a thing I wanted so I knew I had to just do it, after that I made sure I did enough research and was aware of all of the risks involved and asked myself whether I could live with it if it went wrong.

You have to realise that this is such a common operation and providing you've done your research on surgeons and you have realistic expectations there's no reason why you shouldnt be over the moon with your new body!

I'm a girl who's thrown up at blood tests and passed out having my ears pierced, this was my first operation so it was a huge deal. But believe me, it was worth every second of stress and every penny it cost! I wouldn't take it back for the world!! I'm sure you'll feel the same, you just have to find the courage to get through it and luckily you have all of the support you need here! X

I really feel for you Hun so I would like to reassure you if I can. I had wanted a ba for as long as I could remember! Finally got the money together, went for consultation and booked date! Felt really happy and excited! Then 10 days before op started having major doubts and major panics. Convinced myself I didn't need it done and suffered intense feelings of guilt about my family etc etc. it was horrible! I knew deep down that I didn't want to cancel so I just delayed my op for a week to try and sort my head out!!
I had my op last Thursday and I'm so glad I went through with it. The week before my op I was an absolute wreck and didn't enjoy the build up at all, I questioned everything!
I think if I had cancelled I would have regretted it so-oo much months down the line for sure!
If it is the actual op your worried about then please don't. I actually enjoyed my ba day. Coming round from the ga is like waking up from the best sleep ever! And I felt floaty and happy all day off the drugs.
I'm day 5 now and almost back to normal. Haven't had a lot of pain, have just been sleeping lots!
Only you can decide what to do but the feelings you have are just your mind playing tricks on you. It's an emotional roller coaster.
Good luck xxxxxxxx

Its one of the best things you'll do and you won't regret a second of it.

i felt like this too about 4 days before my BA, i rang my bf and cried down the fone to her for an age!
Im 39 years old and have wanted a BA since i was 14 so it was a long long wait for me but its been one of the best things that has happened in my life i hav no regrets and am now loving my new boobs!!

I think everyone feels like this at some point, keep positive and remember there are plenty of girls on here to chat to if you need advise or just a shoulder

Thanx everyone. It's really reassuring to hear it's not only me that feels like this. I spoke to my PC this morning and she assured me that my wobbles were normal 2.
I really appreciate all you ladies taking time to make me feel better.

Much Love

I kept questioning if I was crazy from the second I booked the surgery right up until I climbed on the operating table Hun!

But it has been one of the most positive things I've ever done.. And now when I imagine going through the rest of my life still having and hating my old boobs, I know the only crazy thing was not doing it sooner.

Hope this helps, you will be ok and we'll all be here to help you're doing something so positive for yourself! Xxxxx

Hello girls,

It's such a big deal, and almost one of the biggest things we'll face making the decision to have a BA. I pondered and pondered for so long and like Alice said I decided to go through with it so I could move on as my body hang ups were ruining my relationships, my opinion of myself and to be honest it was stopping me from living my life.
The way I looked at it, is it's one day, that's all, that will change your life forever.
I think a big part of ourselves will try and talk us out of it, but we've wanted our BA's for a reason, and I know once I admitted to myself that I wanted it, I'd never be able to get it out of my head until I'd had it.
It's natural to be worried, and you need to do it in your own time, but you probably more than deserve the time off work anyway, yes it is alot of money, but worth every penny to be able to look in the mirror and say "wow!"
Were here for you sweetie whatever you choose to do, and no doubt we've all wondered if were doing the right thing. But speaking from experience, I'll never ever regret my BA and I have the right to enjoy my body - whatever the cost! Good luck sweets x

I think this is definitely natural to panic so much before the BA, I majorly panicked and started questioning everything and whether it was worth it, worth the money, the re op's, have I chosen the right surgeon, size all sorts!. It's like your mind is trying to persuade you out of it! It's odd but I think it's just nerves.

If this is something you really want and feel strongly about you won't regret it.

I have just had mine done yesterday and I am in the down stage of where I am thinking is this pain etc worth this but I know deep down it is and I just have to get through this part!

It will all be fine and you'll look back and definitely not regret it I am sure of it xx

It's what we're here for Mrs H! :thumbs: As you can see we've all been there in some way so we totally understand! X

If you didnt have at least one pre op wobble id be concerned! Its a totally normal emotion to experience hun! At the end of the day, just do what feels right for you xx

Iwas just the same, i even cancelled my consultation i had major doubts but im so glad i went through with it, i love my boobies its the best thing you will ever do xxx

This is completely normal hun, we have all been there at some point. I know I kept thinking my boobs were fine, why am I messing with what God gave me, and visions of things going wrong.

Because its a big procedure I think our mind starts playing horrible tricks on us and gets us thinking crazy things. You are doing this for the right reasons and You have wanted them for so long don't let these thoughts stop you in your tracks as Im sure you would be so upset and down if you didnt go through with it.

I definitely think that too.

I was having horrible doubts and bad thoughts, then there was a huge problem with getting the money and I was so, so gutted and disappointed that I night have to cancel, that's when I knew that I really wanted it despite my fears and doubts x

I felt exactly the same the day of my pre op as soon as I got home I was so nervous and again the day before I found this forum I really was considering cancelling it that day and had such a hard time getting 2 sleep because of all the questions popping into my head but having somewhere to go with my worries has stopped that now all I feel is excited about it. Its a scary thing but your not alone xx
