you're catching up too eddy xx

How did you get on Vix? Did you get your Pre op booked? Us June girlies are all on serious countdown now! I'm gonna be so excited for each of you, as I'll be the last one of our June group! Xx

hey eddy, yes all booked for 6th June, three days before my birthday!! and its a pre op-had no idea i was having one!! its getting more and more real! you maybe the end of June, but it's still June and very close xx

Yay!! Excellent, that's kinda mid way to your actual date, it'll be like a warm up for the real thing! Ah hope you enjoy your bday, it'll be your last with your current boobies! It'll be new boobs for your birthday pretty much! You'll be able to celebrate them at the same time each year from now on! Lol! Yeah June still, in actual fact in 5 wks time right now, I should be all done and probably not long woken up! Eeek! :-) xx

hi girls, hope you're all doing well!!

i'm working crazy amounts at the moment so don't hav as much time to post, but i just posted something on another thread and realised that my tickers says exactly 1 month to go!!!!!

it is still so surreal in my mind!!

and i also really urgently need to tell my dad about it before i go visit at the weekend which is also last time before BA. told mum a month ago or so and she's really unspportive, but still feel like i need to tell my dad but dreading it!!! hav decided email is best for him but how to word!! x

Hey Blue, I've chosen not to share with my family at all so am prob not the best person to help! If I were to though, I would start by saying you would like his support, how much it would mean to you if he could respect your choice to do this. Explain how you've throughly researched and its something important to you. Its hard for parents to let go, they will probably always feel they know best/want to look out for you, but let them know its a considered decision, you're an adult and you know what you're doing! Good luck with your email hun, take deep breaths!! :-) xx


Oh and yay 1 month to go!!!

sorry to hear your mum is unsupportive, my mum is too as is my dad. I told them I wanted it done for me and that it was nobody else's choice. They know I won't change my mind but it's something I want to do and will do.
You may have to accept that they just won't have the same mindset as u but at least you're given them an opportunity to understand? make sure u tell them how much it means to you hun
xx

Sorry to hear your parents aren't supportive Vix, parents eh? If its what you want, and it's an improvement to your body, you'd think they would just support you wouldn't you? Parents, pah!!!! Am sure they'll understand once they see however happier you are once it's all done. :-) xxx

Hey girls, I'm the same as blue been working my butt off with exams but one more week to go and i will be finished for summer. Woohoo!! :)

With regards to telling parents i was TERRIFIED about telling my dad. When my sister had told him she was getting it done he was horrified so i knew it wasn't going to be easy. My dad is all very traditional and comes off with things like "there are other people out there with serious health conditions" etc etc.... but surprisingly when i told him i was going for it and there was nothing he could do to change my mind he accepted it. just remember we aren't asking for permission, you are telling them out of respect!! Luckily i had my mums support.. and although sometimes she did question my decision i know it was for the right reasons.. its a huge thing to sign up for so they will naturally worry.

With telling your dad just say it straight with him, tell him how you feel and tell him he can;t change your mind but you would like his support. xxx

g, only one week of exams left then all energy focused on your big day. hope it flies:)
I think parents naturally wanna protect and I suppose they are only worried about risks etc. It means so much to us so hopefully they'll come round! xx

eeeeks 2 weeks tomorrow im getting extremely excited! xx

Two weeks that's awesome Halo! Are you all ready?! :-) xx

I think so almost lol!! Need some bio oil I have some but it's been open a while so not sure of I cn use it?! Xx

Sorry to eat about the ones that aren't so supportive to you girls
I never worried of mine supported me or not. Raise in my mind it was happening and I was happy with it and that was that, my mum hadn't considered surgery till I did then within mths she had her own and bigger so was better in one sence but funny cos he wanted to be one better than me still even though she already had boobs! Crazy how family reacts but do long a you are 100% then they will have to deal with it there own way it's not your problem! Xxx

Hear* not eat although I have been eating everything in site in on a slim fast diet and beans for dinner!! LoLs x

g remember no garlic Chinese mushrooms or aspirin gosh now it's real!! When do we start taking arnica? And I don't have a preop either so don't worry of you aren't xx

Hey Halo hun, 2 weeks, so exciting!! It's so weird as we've all been chatting about it, and pretty much all consumed by it (!) and now its almost here, i've even made my overnight packing list! Oh be careful with the slim fast shakes hun, on the Pre-admission posts here on the forum, it mentions no dietary supplements from 2 weeks before, as this may affect your recovery, just thought I'd highlight it, hope you don't mind?! just want you to be ok! :-) xxx

Hi Ladies

Thought I'd join in with the June buddies, as I'm booked for the 2nd! Does that make me first?! Cant quite work out if Im more nervous or excited. Surgeon suggested going for a 340-375cc to take me up to a b/c, but after making rice boobs i think its def going to be a C cup, and they look huge! I think I have everything in place for the big day, sports bras, button down shirts, V pillow. I also got the Tamanu balm from THG to help with the scarring, has anyone ever used this? Good, bad, or wasted money?!

Hey charlii, congrats on booking! I think you will be the first June girl- how exciting! Sounds like you are very organised & have all the bits and bops ready to go! The build up is such a roller coaster, I'm trying as much as possible to enjoy it but know once it hits June I'm going to start getting really nervous, this site has been a god send though! X

charli, welcome, you're gonna be first! how exciting for u honey.
my v pillow came yesterday and it's so comfortable I'm usin it already. I'm going for 375 and hoping for a d. u sound very organised.
hangle, I'm getting nervous too. my oh today told me off for only ever thinking about boobs! so it's great having this site to be able to be obsessed and no one minds:)

My oh is the same vix- the v pillow has caused an issue as its so comfortable we are having to fight over it at night! Will be buying him his own one soon!

I'm trying not to think about the operation side too much as it makes me feel a bit funny! My friend got a piercing yesterday and I went with for support- anyone would have thought it was me having it done i felt so nervous and sick over the thought of it. I'm hoping my ba will toughen me up a bit as I'm so rubbish with pain/needles! X

ha, who'd hav thought it would be so comfortable!
I hope you don't feel too worried bout the needles, just think about your end result and what you'll have when you wake up from it:) having never had an operation before I'm scared of the unknown how it'll feel when I go under etc. gotta try to keep focused!! xx

I've got boobs on the brain! Your right vix we've just got to keep positive and think of the end results, it will all be worth it afterwards :) x
