    Hey girls!

    I’ve wanted my boobs done since i was about 16 (now 27!), and I may have an opportunity to get them done later this year. Anyway… I suffer from Anxiety quite bad- and ive gone through stressful periods when ive hyperventilated etc..and its really not nice :(

    I really wouldn’t want to let having a GA put me off due to being scared that i won’t wake up! But also, i’m worried that it will feel really tight/heavy on my chest after..and i might get worked up and freak myself out!!

    Sorry it’s a random post- and i really hate admitting what im like sometimes cus it sounds so irrational!! But any feedback would be sooo appreciated :)

    Also- due the implants really feel part of you when they settle? I’d hate to think that they feel really foriegn/stuck on etc.

    Thanks in advance girlies

    Hi, I didn’t feel tight or heavy on my cheast and the GA makes you really chilled anyway, at least it did for me.

    I’m 7 weeks post op and mine really feel a part of me now, the only time i notice them is when i lean over to pick things up as they still move slightly, I had unders.

    They did feel stuck on to start with but think this is because they are so numb, once the sensation comes back and they start to get soft they feel much more normal xx

    Hi lovely,

    I have suffered from anxiety in the past. Just had my op 4 days ago.

    I totally understand what you mean. I was scraed just before the ba, and cried when i woke up because i was so relieved!!!Ros’s right, the ga made me feel really calm too,and they didnt feel heavy on my chest.

    The only time I felt a bit panicky was on day 2- (I sometimes get the feeling like I can’t breathe etc) I think I haven’t been feeling like myself due to taking the pain relief and antibiotics, but just told myself I was ok and, honestly, I’ve been absolutely fine. They do feel foreign to me still and it is an odd feeling, but it’s still early days and they look and feel better every day. I promise you it’s worth it!!!!

    If you just make sure there’s someone round to look after you that you trust and can put your mind at rest, and think positive and you will be absolutely fine I promise!!!!!! Mya are great, there’s always someone you can call if you have any worries etc. I’d definitely say go for it, I’m only day 4 and I know it’s going to make me so much happier.

    You can do it :) x

    Hi Ros.. Thanks for your reply! That makes me feel better to know that gradually they start feeling normal again! I know it takes a while- i’d just hate to think they’d always feel weird! So thanks for reassuring me. :)

    Hi rachael.. Ah, thanks hun. Im glad you understand where im coming from. Ive suffered for about 5 years on/off with it- and the mind is a powerful thing!

    I just hate the feeling of no control (GA!), and being restricted (tight chest!), so its been putting me off- but i know deep down that I REALLY want my boobs done. I really lack confidence with that aspect of me!

    My hubby is really supportive, and he has a very positive attitude..he said he’d look after me :).

    I would just hate to think that my anxiety always gets in the way u know?

    I hope you’re feeling better today? Just get plenty of rest when you can! What size implants did you get hun? Happy healing too.

    Thanks again hun for your lovely post.

It’s really good that you know yourself and you’re thinking about it now… By the time it comes round you’re going to be so made up with having boobies i bet it’ll be one of the last things on your mind! :) thanks lovely, best of luck with everything xxx
