December Buddies!

hey cherry!! (frantically waves back)
this forum has been quiet for a few days ive noticed! lol
must be the snow!

sorry to hear your not happy with your size hun, i remember when i was going for my consultations and meeting various surgeons they all offered me a 340/360 implant which i was none the wiser a the time but then when i met my final last surgeon he listend to what i wanted (bigger fuller bust) i said i dont care if they look fake cuz they are etc, so then he offered me a 410 / 460 implant, i do believe if i pushed it he could of offered a slightly bigger implant, but i was more than happy with the offer of a 410/460 due to the others only offering a 340, sometimes im sure they just try to play it safe with slightly smaller implants i guess its what there comfortable with working with........
anyways im sure they could do a re-op but im guessing you would have to pay for the new implants, dont think it would be as much as your original opp but dont take my word for it hun!

let us know how you get on sweets,and good luck, hope they sort you out! xx

hey girlies!! (frantically waving too!)
sorry I havent been on much, I went back to uni this week so back to writing loads of essays so havent had a chance to come on much! ooo to the girls who knew about my plagarism meetin everythin got sorted fine so all gd

alfie- I know what u mean about the blooming snow! it seems to have melted now but now got this thick fog which isnt fun to drive in i must say! lol I know what u mean about bras rubbing! I have been sleeping normally nw but keep rolling everywhere and my bra keeps ridin up somehow and rubbing my scars ggrr I think a good airing is a brillant idea! I do that a lot it cant do any harm they need some air sometimes cn get uncomfortable wearing bras all the time!

I hope u feel confident enough soon to show the OH the boobies, I incisions will look beta soon give them time!I must say I'm getting impatient for my scars to look beta they are bright red at mo! and im sure ur nipple will look beta as uve had a more complicated incision it will take that extra time to sort itself out and relax, im sure cookie cud reassure u as she had an uplift too, time is a healer as they say

kerry- I read in another thread the other day bout ur troublesome lefty! wait till u see ur surgeon on the 25th, i rele hope it is ok and that its jst takin a bit longer to heal, let us know how u get on!

ccchhheerryyyy!!- I hope ur keeping well hun! I think u need to go into ur review guns blazing as if ur not happy u need to do somethin about it! I know u havent been happy and if its still bugging u now, u need to do something! before u start saving more money see what they say about a re-op and prices and try and haggle saying that ur surgeon and u didnt not have the same idea about sizing and that you feel cheated and did express these views before!! keep us update how it goes love!

my boobies update- they are doing gd! I love them and they definitely feel like I've always had them now! I've got an appointment next weds I think the nurse is looking at my scars and my progress, I don't see my surgeon until 12 weeks post op which sucks so got a while still! The only prob I have is my lefty still feels v bruised on the outside of my boob, I'm keeping an eye on it more bumps etc hopefully it will feel beta soon!

I hope all the other dec ladies are keeping well and still loving their boobies

xxxxxxxxx

i am kind of about.....baby been ill, OH been ill & now i am ill!!!! Baby still ill actually & OH just popped him back to the docs :-(

Cherry - So sorry you are not happy with the size :-( i hope you get a good deal if they offer a re-op :-) i think mine are small though so i kinda guess where you are coming from. But i do love mine just wish i had of gone for the 390's instead of 360 but hey ho. In a few years i might go bigger again....lol x

OOoooo OH back now from docs....be back later at some point to catch up sorry


Hi to everyone xxx

Hey girls,

I'm at work and feel like shoite....

Oh don't worry I'm defo going in with guns blazing... I typed up all my notes that I had taken during consults and emails exchanged with PC. My poor PS won't know whats hit him haha.

I think I'll let my pops do the haggling... never was my forte haha. I know an additional fee will be applicable, but if the price isn't right then I'll be waiting and get a full re-op next year and see if I can avoid the cost for removing these implants...

I'm doing my norm and worrying WAY ahead of myself.... but lets just wait and see, Sunday can't come quite enough.

S - sorry you guys are ill toots, not good... Try and rest as much as possible.

A - I was thinking of you on Wednesday when I was at college - oh I passed my Learning Outcome 1, I just have to tweek the second one, but all good :)

K - it has been very quite here lol...

Oh frig... if I've missed anything or anyone, I apologise.. my heads up me erse right now.. I just wanna go home :(

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Cherry xoxoxox

G - How's the essays??? sounds like my worst nightmare hope they're coming along ok :-) glad you like your boobies i too feel like i have always had mine :-) i tried my old bikinni tops on a few days ago.....oooooh funnny!!! i looked like a right tit (excuse the pun!!) they were so small x

A - Ooooh fog here too :-( its awful isn't it. Snow melted now though, well what little we had. My bras sometimes rub too, i find my Z bra the best bra in the world & never rubs....my 2nd best is the M&S ones they are great but rub a little & the asda ones....well, i never wear, boy the rub big time!!! I try to air my Boobies at night for a wee while. PS said i can sleep braless at night if i want but sports bra must be on in the day....ooooh i hate not wearing it at night feels v weird. I got up after 2 hours last night to pop it on x

K - Hope your leftie behaves for you hun Hearing about the size of your implants makes so jealous!!! x

Cherry - You finished work yet??? must be time soon if you haven't x

Well i had to send OH to asda today to do a shop......funny. He tried hard bless him, a few things wrong but i won't tell him. Took him 2 hrs as it is, i would have been there & back in 40 mins he has now popped to the pub for a friday beer so i am left dealing with baby when i don't feel too great myself :-( BUT i shall i have a biiiig bath later :-)

Hello ladies,

sorry not to have been on here for ages but unfortunately I've had a bit of a disaster on the boob front which has knocked me for six and still in the middle of it now.

I found a lump (not near the scar area) about two weeks ago when I was massaging and at my review with my nurse on thurs last week she agreed that it needed investigating but said that it was nothing to do with the implant or surgery as it was clear that I had healed really well and not having any pain etc. She said that investigation would not be covered by transform and that I could go and see my gp and wait a few weeks for an ultrasound or go privately and pay but she seemed keen for me to go asap.

So I booked in on friday and paid £230 for a private ultrasound at the princes grace breast clinic in central london, which is supposed to be the top bollocks place to go. I was certain that they were going to say that it was a swollen gland or cyst or side effect from the surgery and really I was just paying to get quick peace of mind.
Sadly the opposite happened. The consultant advised that it was def not a cyst or gland or other 'normal' side effect of surgery, he said he thought that it was probably there before surgery and is now being pushed forward by the implant. I never felt a lump before though nor was anything picked up by the surgeons I saw two of which gave me boob examination at consultation.

He said I needed to have a biopsy and could pay to have a biopsy now or go to my gp and ask for a referral but it would take 2/3 weeks. I decided to go ahead and have it done then and there because I could see on his face and the things he was saying to me that he was pretty concerned. So I stumped up the extra £600 yes that's £600 on top of the £230.... to get the biopsy done then and there which was frikkin awful and thank god he took his time and said he was going to make sure he didn't puncture the implant.

I get the result sent to my Gp on Weds evening. Aside from the real upset at seeing my lovely new boob get a massive hole in the side (followed by a big old bruise) I am totally freeked out by the whole thing and I haven't really been able to sleep or concentrate on anything.

I asked loads of questions including about fat necrosis which is when after surgery or trauma your boob gets a lump of fat build up which goes after a while. He said it could be that or it could be a number of other things. But he really didn't give me any reassurance at all and went as far as asking about my nearest nhs hospital and treatment from here on etc. I'm not a dummy and I'm not a drama queen but put it this way he could see I was **naughty word** myself but he was like straight in the eye no we need to see if it is malignant.

I have the pictures of the ultrasound and it looks like its in the tissue itself not near the implant ie it doesn't look like a damaged bit of tissue from the surgery.

Oh ladies I'm in bits honestly I'm so freeked out. I have told my OH who has been great about it but otherwise I am having a mare it just goes round and round in my head all the time. Doesn't seem much point in telling anyone else right now my mum doesn't even know about the boob job and she would be so worried its all pointless.

Had a party on Sat and loads of people there were asking oh how are the boobs are they great etc etc and I just about managed to contain my tears. I have been so happy with them and they look so great and now its all just a mess.

I know that out of everyone you lot really get it,,,,, years of wanting boobs to be proud of and I get them and now this.

I really really hope that this is just a nasty (and expensive) scare and nothing worse. I have a friend who is 29 and six months into treatment for breast cancer and its been awful, but she has a strong history of it in her family ie mum, aunt etc had it. Thankfully I don't have any relatives who have had it but can't help panicing. Its like the statistics you hear about just got really scarily personal.

I know that there is nothing I can do but wait it out but please cross everything you have for me. Come weds I will either be leaping for joy or facing the worst and either way you can share in my relief or help me come up with a plan.....

anyway I am really sorry to be sharing this crappy news with you all but you helped me through the last six weeks so if you can get me from here to weds eve that would be great!!!!

ohhh katy!I wondered where u had been! I'm soo terribly sorry hun:( I can't imagine what your going through, you have been so brave! hang in there we are all here for you!! if u need a rant let it out here. I know how long you've wanted your boobs done and how amazingly happy you have been:( all I can say is I've been through a similiar thing recently with a friend of mine, she is 20 and she found a lump, had a biopsy like yourself and had it taken out, it wasnt cancerous thank god, I was with her through it all and could see how upset and distressing it was for her. It's the waiting and wondering which is the worse. lumps can come up out of nowhere and don't necessarily mean they are going to be threatening so take each day as it comes until you get your results hun:) keep resting love, and take care! let us know when you get the results, thinking of you! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

thanks hun I really appreciate that. I have just read something that said 96-98% of lumps found by ultrasound are benign which is better than the other things that I read which made it sound like I had a 20-30% chance of it being cancerous. and also I have my ultrasound pics and I have been looking at what fat necrosis looks like and its not exactly like my lump but not dissimilar either. I think I have to believe that the consultant was right in saying that it needed to be biopsied to be sure and believe its going to be fine. but its such a rollercoaster and at night its awful I just keep running through scenarios and freeking myself out.
I am really glad that your friend is ok and hope I will be too.

thanks again xx

Katy you poor thing. Big hugs coming your way I cannot imagine what you are going through. After being so happy about your boobs..... him upstairs can be so cruel. You have to try not to worry and stay positive ( I know...easier said than done). Like Georgie said in her post lumps can appear from nowhere and be innocent. Look after yourself and we're here if you need to chat.

xxxxxxxxxxx

I'm so sorry to read you're going through all of that Katy, we're all here for you sweetheart and hoping the results bring good news. xxx

Oh my god... Katy I was absolutely mortified for you when I read this.....

Thinking of you loooooads and loads with lots of positive energy your way.

Take good care my love.

xoxo

thanks a lot for your support girlies, my oh said that I should let you guys know and that it would help me and he was right. it feels better to tell someone especially as I know you won't judge me for having had my boobs done in the first place.

I'm going to walk the dog have a bath and a nice dinner and try reading tonight rather that lying there stewing on it all.

xx

aaww yeah ur OH was most definitely right! we would never judge you! talk through it all that's what we're here for! and that sounds like a gd plan for this evening, just take it easy hun xxxxx

Oh Katy... I certainly hope haven't been judging you for having your BA with recent events... I really don't.

We are all here for you toots and will never judge you.

Awwww I just want to give you a 'non cyber' hug...

Bless your OH for telling you to come on here...

xxx

Katy - oh honey....i am so sorry to read your story I pray with all my heart that you get good results from the biopsy. No-one would ever judge you for having implants honey. If anything they are a good thing when it comes to finding lumps etc. Lots of research suggests that as the breast tissue is pushed forward you do get to feel lumps sooner than if you didn't have implants. I saw a program some yrs ago on this & also Mr Mounir (my first consultation) & Mrs Kat both said the same. There is history in my family of breast cancer you see, so it was important to me that it wouldnt affect things, it only helps things)
I literally have everythig crossed that this worry is the sort of the unnessesary kind.

Thinking of you babe xxxxx

Thanks for that Stephy that's exactly what my OH said to me last night, that if it is a dodgy one the its a good thing that I had em done. The consultant said the same as you that the implant was pushing it forward. Plus my boobs were sore and swollen after so I barely touched them for a month after so it could have been there all the time, not just the last two weeks.

I did manage to have a much better nights sleep last night.. a problem shared is a problem halved and all that!!! And only a day and a half left till I know what the deal is so it will hopefully be over soon.

Poor ol boob is green and yellow with bruise today :-((((

thanks again girlies

xx

I noticed that the boobie chit chat had gone a bit quiet whilst we all waited with baited breath.

Right well its not good news.
I won't bore you with the details, and despite the positive odds my lump is cancerous.

(long row of expletives if I was allowed to write any)

Fundamentally if I didn't have my boob job I probably wouldn't have felt the lump for a while as its quite small. So it might just be the case that my new best friends have saved my life.

I don't know what the score is really yet, it all kicks off tomorrow with more tests etc but step one is going to be telling everyone.

Big balls up I know.

All I can say is ladies get on and love ya new boobies for me. I wish I had mine done 10 years ago and really and truly don't feel bad for me I will get through it but I want you all to take a deep breath and lets get on with chatting about normal stuff, I want to hear about all your boobie happiness because I am still happy with mine and as nothing is certain I might get to hold on to em for a bit yet.
I know you will all be wishing me the very best but what I really need you to do is provide entertainment and distraction!!!

I feel really bad for telling you all now as well by the way as I have probably spoiled a few of your evenings with this but even in the last few days sharing it with you has helped me to sleep and get through it.

On a normal post boob job note one of my stiches has surfaced today, bit like a little stubbly bit under my boob. Gp looked at it and said it was fine and would dissolve so if any of you get this don't panic.

see even writing this has made me feel better, less sick and a bit hungry now so going to pop and get some dinner

sorry again and come on lets talk about happy things pleaaaaseeee!!!!!

xxxx

Oh Katy..... I'm speechless!



xoxoxo

Thinking of you Katie
