consultation on friday

Hi all, i have got my consultation on friday. i am feeling a bit nervous about eberything with reading how much pain people are in, and sounds like you literally cant move anywhere. Can anyone let me know how they are feeling say a week or 2 after and how long you are having off work, and any suggestion to sizes. i am a 34B now, many thanks all xxx from claire

HI Claire

Is your consultation with a surgeon on Friday? There really isnt anything to be worried about. I find it sooo interesting and informative

I am a 34B too, 9 1/2 stone and 5 6″ – what are your stats?

Actually I thought I was a 34B (This is what I was advised at M&S when Bra shopping) but it turns out he thinks I am only a 34A really (Hmmmm confirms how much I want this BA now!! lol)

Hi, no its my initial consultation. i am 5 ft 5ish, 10 stone, and 34b so i think but you never know. Im going to manchester, how about you.

Hey

I had my initial consultation in Nottingham and my constulation today with Dr Singh in Birmingham (it is a little closer to me than Notts)

The initial consultation is fab. Ask loads of questions… anything and everything.. even if you think it sounds stupid

R u taking your partner or friend to your consultation? It helps because they often think of questions too – you will be so energised on adrenalin that you forget to ask half your questions so write them down each day until you go

Keep in touch – let me know how you get on. xxx

im going on my own, my husband got the kids as half term. i may write down some questions. i think my main question is about time off work, and the pain xx

p.s. have you got your surgery date??

Hi hun,

Just wanted to set your mind at ease with regard to pain, it’s not as bad as you may think.

I stopped taking pain elief after 4 days/ went shopping after 3. Felt pretty good after 7 days and took my own dressings off, am 10 days post op now and am fully back to normal. My advice would be take 2 weeks just to be sure but don’t worry, it’s painful as you would expect but not that bad.

AND so worth it.

Let me know how it goes?

Abby is right about the pain, i took paracetamols for about a week but eased off them throughout that and only took the codine 2 days after. Was shopping after a week and went back to work after 2. x

Hi Claire

Haven’t booked my surgery date yet but looking at Christmas time so I have decent time to recover. My email is chezza18@hotmail.com stay in touch and email if you have any questions xx

ah thanks all. ive noted your email address, thanks.how can you wait that long, haha. But, valid point actually as i get 2 and half weeks off work, but dont think i can wait that long. Surely the pain in your boobs cant be worse than childbirth???? ill update how i get on on friday.

Abby – -how long did it take you to get an appointment after your consultations???

thanks

claire

Yes I get 2 weeks off work so I thought I’d use the time wisely! It is a blooming long time to wait though!!

I think you can get an appointment 2 weeks after your consultation babe xx
