Chickened out day of surgery!!!

Hi girls, just wanted some advice as I’m feeling embarrassed and drained from today’s antics. I’m not a MYA patient but have been following this page ever since I had my BA consultation. I had this only a couple of weeks ago and was supposed to have my surgery today – everything happened super quick. I got there today and my anxiety took over. I was in the gown, had the socks on and everything. After speaking to the surgeon himself he advised he wasn’t comfortable doing it if I wasn’t. Advised me to push it back for at least three months. I had paid in full and understandably couldn’t give me any kind of refund. I had to text my boss to tell him I’d be in work on Monday because I had ‘chickened out’ so that made me feel even sillier. I really do want it done and I have for a very long time. Hopefully I can overcome this feeling. I guess I’m just wanting advice if anything like this has happened to anyone else? I feel as though no one else understands xxx

Oh god sorry for the long story too haha! X

That is so sad 🙁 mine is on the 20th and that is exactly what im petfrified will happen to me! It’s such a big thing to do so people will completely understand so don’t worry about that! I hope all goes well when you go back in, good luck x

I had mine on the 23rd of August I felt like this but honestly girls you have nothing at all to worry about! They were absolutely brilliant with me and so friendly! I told the nurse that took me down that I was terrified and they all kept me talking so I ignored everything around me. I thought the worst but honestly it wasn’t at all what I thought it would be like it feels like! 🙂 any questions about anything please feel free to message me! x

I’m 3 months PO today. If this is really what you want, please don’t over worry! It’s the most amazing thing I have ever done, you’re in amazing hands and everything will be fine! Just think of the amazing results! X

I never got as far as you last time
I backed out after the pre op app, that was 4 yrs ago, I truly believe you will know yourself when the time is right
I’m in tomoz and absolutely petrified but excited at the same time,
Bless ya, the things us women put ourselves through ????

I thought I’d do the same tbh, by I knew I wanted it doing! Now I’m so proud of myself (daft I know). It did not hurt – the needle etc. I was so surprised. I woke feeling a little tight but nothing like I though…I’m sure we’ll all tell you the same! I wondering what I can have done next hahah xxx

Omg i am feeling and thinking the same my op is 4 weeks on wed.. what were you anxious about ?? Im anxious about what if they are too big what if i dont like them as been used to my small boobs lol x

Omg im booked in for monday admission time 11am travelling from fife scotland to preston first trust and im terrified this will be me. I Keep telling myself once im asleep ill wake up and that will be it over but the thought of walking to theatre reminds me of the green mile. I feel sick thinking about monday im just trying to occupy my mind. I cant believe theyve said they wont refund anything surely youre entitled to something back? When chatting with my nurse she told me of a girl who went on the day and had a positive pregnancy test and it cost 1000 to reschedule. Id have thought itd be a similar situation although youre not with mya so maybe thats why?.. Feel gutted for you xxx

Hey! Omg this was me last Sunday only I ended up going through with it, I travelled to Preston all the way from Glasgow and stayed over on the Saturday night. I was an absolute state I never slept, I was crying histerocally my boyfriend was absolutely hopeless to the point I nearly dumped him haha! I had nobody to speak to about it, my boyfriend was like it’s only a boob job! And my mum was so supportive but she couldn’t travel down with me. I kept looking at my small boobs and thinking ” is there really anything wrong with them, am I being an idiot for doing this” I had 1million worries going through my head I barely ate the week before I was so stressed even thinking about something I should have been excited about. My boyfriend took me to the hospital in the morning and again i broke down while putting my gown on but the nurse who was filling out all my forms with me was AMAZING. Literally the minute she started speaking to me and calming me down I felt SO much better it was like she completely understood me. I still feel like I haven’t had a boob job as I’m strapped up. It comes off tomorrow I’m so excited feel like tomorrow is my actual boob job day. Don’t stress about anything you will go ahead with it whenever you feel ready to just don’t force yourself into it. I’m now so glad that I went ahead with it all xxx

Thank you all so much for your replies. I was on google and YouTube for ages trying to find ANYONE who had been through the same kind of thing. I’m still kicking myself now! I should have just pushed myself. I think what was lacking was support. You all sound like you had great nurses/staff around you. When the nurse first came in to greet me after I’d got undressed etc I blurted ‘I don’t know if I can do this!’ To which she replied ‘what, you don’t know if you want big boobs or not?!’ Then laughed. Funnily enough I didn’t see the funny side to it at that moment in time lol. The girl in before me was ‘having trouble coming around’ after her op I overheard one of the other nurses say – all of this just set me off big time. I was in tears too!! Also it was only my boyfriend who knew… I was planning on telling my family afterwards to save them worrying about me/trying to talk me out of it. This time I’m going to tell as many people as possible (family & close friends) and get as much advice & tips as I possibly can. I am gutted about the money side of it… But they have said they can push it back for six months maximum with no extra charge so at least that’s something. The main thing that put me off was the surgery doesn’t put you under general anaesthetic they use twighlight sedation… Has anyone else had this? Apparently it’s less harsh to your body but you’re not actually FULLY asleep. Again thanks for all of your comments they’ve made me feel 100% better xxx

Alice where was you having it done? I had my surgery last friday at NLC in doncaster with mr kazzazi he uses twilight sedation its bloody amazing! I worried like you thinking i wont be asleep etc but honestly i have absoultey no recolection of it as far as i know i was fast asleep i remember feeling abit woozy while they was putting something in my canular the next thing im getting sat up by the nurse i thought i hadnt hadnt it done yet was only when i looked down and saw the strapping. If anything twilight as much LESS risks that a general anyway and as soon as you come round you are fine no sickness no dizzyness there are people on here that have a horrible time after the general and u dont get that with twilight at all yes someone can take longer to come round but its not something to worry about you are fully breathing for yourself with twilight instead of having a tube put down your throat. Would definitely chose a twilight over general i was worried because id never had an operation in my life an honestly i worried for absolutely nothing it was a breeze i promise u will be fine xx

Hi hunni same as laura I had twilight with Mr kazzazi this Tuesday gone and it went so smoothly woke up feeling great had some toast and a coffee and was on my way home within the hour…..no sickness or side effects my partner did get worried as I was in there for an hour and half but the nurse said it’s just because I was so tired before hand but they said it couldn’t have gone any better….it’s only normal to have second thoughts because it’s still a life changing operation but it is the best thing I have ever done for myself after wanting to do if for so many years……next time will be your time….get all the positive support around you no negative and you will be fine it’s over so quick after sick a short sleep ????xx

Such a short sleep*

Oh wow that’s so good to hear! Thank you both for making me feel better. No sickness at all afterwards? It worries me to death when you hear people ‘not being able to wake up properly’. I’m from the UK originally but I’m actually having it done in Sydney, Australia (I’ve been living here for three years with my boyfriend) at a place called Australia cosmetic clinics. I want to reschedule like NOW but they’ve told me to wait at least three months 🙁 🙁 🙁 I should have just come home for it xxx

Your welcome hunni….and no sickness what so ever as soon as I woke up I asked if I could have some toast because I was starving the nurse just started laughing and had to drink a quater of a bottle of water then she brought me toast and coffee wich made my day because I’m not keen on tea. Don’t be to hard on yourself tho I got nervous but my partner was amazing to be fair he just kept saying it’s your day they are amazing at what they do and as soon as your asleep you will wake up with boobies lol….ohhh and don’t be daft if what you have been waiting for…..he has a way with words???? just remember this is for you and honestly you will be very well looked after xxx
