aaaw babes, youll be ok, we all get nervous when the time draws nearer.
i was the same but on the actal day i was as calm as anything, to be honest i was that hungry after starving myself for 6 hours i just wanted it over and done with so i could have something to eat! lol

keep yourself busy and try not to think about it too much xx Butterflies 571992

Thank you both for replying!! i'm a dog walker so i have so much time to think, which is a bit of a problem!!!
Kerry, have seen on your stats that you have just had your op! how are you finding it?

I just tried to totally forget about it and got busy making sure all the housework was done etc. I think I was lucky in a way as Christmas preparations took my mind off the operation day.

I was really nervous the day before, but like Kerry was fine on the actual day. You'll be fine, just try not to 'over think' the whole thing. Butterflies 321562

Good luck with everything Butterflies 184153

Its very hard to think of anything but boobs in the run up to your op. That's why its so nice to be able to talk about it here! Like Tabitha said try not to over think it all and just chill. xxx

I went shopping, bought lots of sports bras, new dressing gown, slippers, bag ready for me op. I spent my life for 2 weeks before my op on here reading stories and on google looking at before and after pics, couldn't even concentrate in work and drove everyone mad talking about boobs. I couldn't take my mind off it even if I tried, so I just tried to prepare everything and prepare myself. I wrote lists of all the stuff I needed to take with me for the hotel, lists for what I needed to take for a day case (not much lol). In prepareing myself it took my mind off the actual op and nerves.

thanks girls!!! Im quite lucky because my best friend is a nurse in a hospital in london and he has been in on BA surgerys and although he is completely insane most of the time he has a very calming affect on me when its needed and he is going to come with me aswel as my mum and aunt, so at least thats something, but as you girls have said i cant get the boobies off my mind!!! 10 days and it'll all be over!!! sigh!! im scared!!!! lol thanks again girls its so nice having the support from people that understand!!!

And now it's 9 days and it'll all be over!! Surgical procedures, whether under general or local are scary. Every moment seems to last for so long now but you are already a day ahead of where you were yesterday!
A nutty medical friend always helps! Can't be that life threatening if they are able to jolly you up, eh?
You WILL be fine and you WILL have lovely boobies, so good luck, not that you'll need it!!

by kateh86 1st January 2010, 3:00 pm

oh thank you so much kayla!!! x x x

Hi hun, I got butterflies with my first op and i'm having them again now looking at my ticker for my reop!! I'm excited though, not nervous as i know everything will be fine, as it will be for you too! x

by kateh86 1st January 2010, 4:41 pm

ah thanks nads, my head just keeps getting so carried away!!! good luck for your op!!! god, hate to think what i'll be like when Im four days away!!!

by mum23boys 1st January 2010, 4:51 pm

I don't think I was very calm before my op, obsessive would be a more accurate description Butterflies 557141

, just found I couldn't think of anything else, x

hi hun

im now 12 dys post op and back at work!
got the monday blues but apart from that im fine hun, had my strappijg off last wednesday which was a releif! soaked my steri strips off last night in a nice bath, was nice to escape from the sports bra for 10 mins! lol
nurse advises boobies are healing as expected, there still very high up and hard but ive been advised they will drop slightly and soften up in time.
i have my check up with my surgeon on jan 25th so will keep you updated.

how are you feeling now? xx

Awww toots, like the girls have said even if you 'try' and keep busy you'll still end up thinking and worrying about it.

It's the most natural feeling to be anxious and part of the start of your journey... I'm not going to say 'don't worry' - what I will say is embrace it and remember this time as in a couple of weeks you will look back and wonder why you worried so much!!

Aw thanks girls!!! I've been freaking out quite a bit, i woke up yesterday with one nostril being blocked and a tinge of a sore throat and I was like NOOOOOOOOOO! So i got the old 'first defense' out and am hoping it will do its job, it has started to make a bit of difference, and then I wake up this morning and the snow!!! what a joke!! i went up to do my horse this morning and got my car stuck, i've only just got home. so i've had a lot to keep me stressed!!! cant believe its only 3days to B(oobie)day!!! Am actually feeling sick about it know!! ha ha, oh god! x

Good luck for boobie day!

A friend of mine who is into alternative therapy said that Bach's rescue remedy is good for calming nerves (you can buy it in Boots)

Also, she says that if you tap underneath your left eye with your finger and wiggle another finger in your belly button this will calm your nerves....!!!

Er, can't say I've tried it yet, but it's worth a go for the sheer ridiculousness of it!!!

by becky071 7th January 2010, 11:17 am

LOL for a few seconds I did think about trying that out for the fun of it!!

Aww you'll be fine chick... I think I was mainly excited about it n just a lil nervous on the day because I had never been under GA before.. Just think about how perfect things will be after ur op.. and how happy you'll be!!

Good luck xxx

by kerry 7th January 2010, 11:23 am

i fould i was really nervous 2 days before my opp, and if i thought about it i would end up working myself into a right state but actually on the day i was so calm, infact i was that hungry after starving myself for 6+ hours that i just wanted to get it done so i could have something to eat! lol Butterflies 557141
