June Buddies

i know its crazy, it was a really quick phone call!

can't wait for your update and to hear how you get on at dolan park, its where i'll be going too!!

who's your surgeon charlii?

I went with Mr Sulaiman (sp?). I saw him a couple of years ago when I first went for a consultation, and he immediately put me and hubby at ease. When I went for my consultation this time round it was a no brainer. I know I should have 'shopped around', but gut instinct overruled! He assured me we'd get a natural, not too big look, as I just want to balance out my body shape.

My biggest worry on the day is how long I'm kept waiting before surgery! I dont do too well when I'm that hungry! Thinking about having an extra meal at 11pm the night before so its not too bad!! Silly I know, but if Im worrying about the petty things, it keeps the mind off the bigger picture!

i've heard good things about mr sulaiman!
its so important to feel 100% comfortable with your surgeon!

haha i'm the same as you i get grumpy when i'm hungry so i'm definitely going to have another meal at 11pm!! :)

Eeek! Just had my call from the hospital confirming my admission time!! 7am! Asked the nurse and she said law of averages means I should get an AM surgery!! The only other stuff she said was all in the confirmation pack, no jewellary, no nail varnish, dont eat.

Had to try really hard not to come out of the quiet room in the office grinning like a loon!!

how exciting!!!!
wow 7am is early, yes you should probably have an AM surgery, thats really good!! x

Charli, that's amazing news! nice and early for you. xx xx

Aww not long at all do you now :) well pre op went fine just check and pictures, giving me paperwork and signing last few bits then there's that 'small' payment haha but hopefully best prezzie to myself. Are you nearly sorted now then charlii?
I'm really hoping they don't make me wait hours on the day coz I'm not nice when hungry either xx

Haha, love it! I imagine the nurses are used to having a ward full of grumpy hungry women!
I am OTT organised for the day! I even have a whiteboard up in the living room with a list of cans and cants, stuff to pack, etc! Just need to do a food shop and 'boob proof' the house so nothing is above elbow height! Oh, and put a bunch of Buffy re-runs on my Playbook so I've got some company for the night! Then its just a case of the surgery itself, woo!

Awww bless ya that will be me this time next week so much fun preparing for it I got my sports bras delivered yesterday too it's all starting to fit together nicely xx

i'm going to do the rest of my shopping this weekend wohoo x

OmG its the first of june in like 35mins ladies!!!!!

im going to dolan park admkission time for me is also 7am and it is a 2hrs 30minute drive i will be grumpy as hell lols, liking the idea of an extra meal the night before girls haha. whats everyone packing? i got a cheap cocoa oil from home bargains 99p, and different sized bras think the macom will be the main 1 i wear at first though, need toothbrush and flannel night before do we need paper knickers? arnica oh **naughty word** i need to start taking that tomorrow omfg eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek
xxx

woohoooo nearly june!!

so i just tried my macom on for the first time after i ordered it weeks ago, and its not very comfy
i wore it for half an hour and had red marks on my sternum (i have very sensitive skin) from the band where it does up in the middle.
and also its a right pain to do all those hooks up....
will be having a look for sportsbras tomorrow..

oh no blue really? i havent even tried mine on suppose i should tomorrow oh i hope iots not a complete waste of cash can you get a refund you think? i got the triaction sports bra and the shock absorber run bra xxxx

I think they provide the paper pants! On my list I've got nightwear, entertainment (ipod, kindle etc), meds and bras, along with the usual gaff, toothbrush, wetwipes.
Blue, get to M&S for a zip front, its super soft and comes low enough so it wont hit your scars.
Less than 48hrs

okay cool sexy eh
i got the m and s bra too it keeps unzipping the e cup i know i put weight on but geez really??? lols good job i got the f cup for after surgery
not long and your in Charli so what date is yours? monday the 3rd xx

Sunday 2nd! Heading to Bromsgrove Travelodge tomorrow eve, we're about 1hr30 away, but its saved a lot more money paying an extra night at the hotel and not have to get up at stupid oclock than for the inclusive transport! I think hubby is more nervous than me at the moment, throwing out a lot of 'what ifs'!

been chatting to some post op girls, apparently the macom fits really differently after surgery, so fingers crossed! will hang onto it anyway, as so many girls swear by it, but will be heading into m&s tomorrow to find some softer ones as well x
ooh charlii and halo you must be so excited, its so close for you now!! x

bromsgrove travel lodge is it pretty close then do you know? Will look into that and we could what if forever hun, just think about the waking up to fab boobie bit tell your hubby that lol xx

i know blue its come round so so fast!!
i do hope it fits well afterwards then fxd for us who have macom bra lol xx

It's 1st of June!!!! Our month is finally here girls !! Xx

woohoooo its june!!!

welcome to June!! xx

Our month has arrived!!!!:)

Hey June girlies, it's finally here!

Good luck to all the girls this week especially, there's quite a few of you! No more waiting!


It's been an interesting few days for me; I've essentially had to rebook my surgery with a different surgeon/clinic due to 1) concerns over who my actual surgery contract was with 2) surgery administrator not being forthcoming when I requested explicit T&C's after checking through my paperwork and finding it actually to be far too broad, vague and generic 3) speaking with an ex-forum member who has had a problematic revision surgery with him.

It's been inconvenient to say the least having to postpone leave by a week, reorganise logistics last minute and all the mental prep with that goes with having a certain date/expectation in mind but I couldn't confidently go ahead with those type of concerns. So rebooked with the surgeon/clinic that were my second choice, on the 30th June, after dashing up to see him for one last further consultation this week. So only just made it into June Buddies still! xx

wow eddy what an eventful time for you, but i'm glad you managed to make a decision you are happy with now!!

who is your new surgeon / clinic? xx
