Sorry to keep asking so many questions..

I am nervous today, more nervous than I have ever been before now about this ba, to the point i'm sat here wondering whether it's worth it, wondering whether i'll back out on the day.. all sorts.

Is this all normal?

I know deep down it's something I really want, and I won't regret it afterwards, but its the build up to it. It's getting worse as it gets closer.

I'm not the only one to feel like this am I? Should I be feeling excited?

yep,its completely normal-for me it was the week before that was the worst(i too though that i might not go through with it on the day.) but weirdly on the day of my BA i was strangel calme. its been one of the best thing i've ever done for myself!!! don't worry hun,you'll be fine x

As Lorraine said it is normal hun, i personally wasnt very nervous at all and tried not to think about the actual op etc just focus on waking up with finally! Maybe reading over the stories a bit will help just so you know what to expect, you'll be fine hun xxx

Hello!!

Aw i dont think you should be concerned about asking questions - that's what the site is for - sharing with others going through the same emotions.

I can understand how you feel and I would say it is very normal - like the build up to any big event or occurance it your life.

I must admit though I dont think that I personally felt doubtful - I did'nt have time or anyone to share my feelings with. (wish I had found the ladies here at the time) I had my consultation on the 10th of November and op on the 20th and I had to organise flights, trains, tubes, sports bras and hotel etc. in a short time. Therefore, I had no time to think about being nervous - I made the decision I should have done twenty something years before and am I delighted

On reflection if I had done it back then I would/did have doubts though they were more in relation to others rather than what I felt was right for me. So yes your feelings are normal and I think you will be as happy with your decision as all the others on here. You go for it girl if it feels right enjoy your journey

Thats normal hun i was fine until the night before where i got nervous and was crying etc lol but its worth it and dont regret it one bit! x

I was so nervous the week before my op that I felt sick most of the time and my stomach would do cartwheels, but I knew that I wanted it done so bad that there was backing out.

I'm sure it's just nerves, hunni.

I was so sure about it but a few days before I started wondering whether I was doing the right thing as I was so worried about not liking the result and them looking silly on me. Taking pictures of my pre-op boobs and looking a them helped tho!!! But seriously hun, as the girls have said, it's normal to have doubts/feel scared. If the doubts and fear are more than your desire to do it, you will know though - many girls pull out, because they need to think about it more, and then decide to do it later or not to do it at all, but most people realise that their doubts are just nerves, so don't let your nerves bring you down if, as you say, you know it's something you really want - because if that's the case, you may not do it now but you will regret it and do it some other time!!!!
I can pretty much guarantee that you will be sooo happy once you have done it! Good luck hun - you will have new boobies in a day, just enjoy them xxx

hi hun
i was more scared days before surgery then on the actual day. so i think how you are feeling is completely normal hun.
i think i shocked myself about how calm i was on the day of surgery because of how scared i was during the run up to surgery.
i was also suprised as it wasnt half as bad as i thought it would be. i can honestly say i would rather have ba then give birth or go to the dentist (pain wise).
other than having my babies and getting married it is the best thing i have ever done, so like moonmar said you will be so happy hun.
try not to think about it, easier said then done i know but try having a nice relaxing bath and doing last minute jobs to take your mind of it.
i also thought i would be awake all night the night before but i slept like a baby as i had kept myself busy that day.
well just think tomorrow you will have boobies yey!!!
i hope this helped
hugs

People keep saying to me "it can't be as bad as having kids", and I know how painful childbirth was (more than second time!), but I just can't compare it to that, it's completely different. (It's not pain I'm worried about really to be honest, its more the nerves tomorrow!). There's no build up as such to birth, it just happens when it happens. I wasn't nervous whatsoever, but if I would of had to be induced then I would have been, because I would of been thinking "Oh x is the day!" Like I said on another post, I'm fine today, my feelings keep changing. Guess I'll find out tomorrow! I'll let you all know if I can get on my phone lol.
After today I won't be on til Monday so I'd just like to thank you all now for answering all my questions and your help & support.
I can't wait to have a story of my own!!

Hey lovely,I think a BA affects people in different ways. I was nervous when I actually booked up thinking have I got the right surgeon, have I chosen the right size etc etc, but not so much on the day. Others seem to book with ease but then worry about the op itself. It's completely natural to worry as it's a life-changing event!
