Did anyone go through this all by themselves?

I don’t know what to do. I had my surgery date last year in May already and cancelled it because I freaked out for many reasons. My personal life was difficult, well still is, I was so unsure about over or under and size and since I am selfemployed I got scared if something goes wrong and I can’t work for longer than expected.

Now after taking a step back and making decisions, I am actually excited again and would love to have my boobs already. However I can’t get myself to make a new appointment because I have no one to go with me, be there when I wake up or pick me up the next day. Had that problem last time also. I know what a rollercoaster it will be again and I am not sure I can do it all by myself. My friends could only come on the weekend and my mum still doesn’t know. Most of my friends live abroad, so not many here right now.

So did anyone do this all by themselves? How did you get home? How did you handle it all? Public transportation will be difficult with that clinic I chose.

Sorry for the long post. Hope you can cheer me up.

my parents and my family are all against it … my mum isnt even talking to me! … maybe you should book ur op for a date that one of hte girls on the forum are having theres too and u can look after eachohter! x

Hi hun, sorry to hear your feeling this way.

I may be in a similar situation, im self employed and for obvious reasons i need to work as much as possible so time off for me is a tricky one also!

I do have someone coming with me but due to family issues at the moment they may not be able to come with me on the day im hoping they will be able to but if they cant then i guess i will have to pay for a taxi to take me home.

Maybe if your worried about being alone afterwards maybe you should have an over night stay at the clinic so you feel more at ease afterwards and not completely alone. Im having a day case because i get bored too easily and will want my own bed lol, if your really concerened about going alone maybe if you chat to girls on here and make a friendship one of the may come with you! (maybe lol) I hope you feel better soon hun and everything works out for you xxx

@ Megagray111

yea I thought about that too, at least I can get some support here. I would like to tell my mum but I have no idea how she will react. She will definitely tell my brother and he will freak out and call me names for doing this. And I really don’t want to deal with that before.

@ flicky

I will definitely have an overnight stay. It’s standard here. I am in Germany, so that’s why going with someone from here is not an option anyway. And taxi will cost me a fortune.

do u know anyone who has had it done before? or a close friend that could go with you? my other half is in the military so having to do the consultations on my own, even thats a bit scary so my friends coming along with me! having to try and figure out when he will get time off so he will hopefully be there for the op if not i wouldnt no if id have someone either, its not a nice thought is it!. As Flicky1 said,if u put a post on here about when ur date will be someone on here could be on that date as well, or if u find someone on here who lives closer to u, maybe u could arrange a date they would be off work so they could come and support u? always worth asking hun xx

Given your circumstances could mya not arrange transport. I had my ba in Dec and got transport there and back and overnight stay. Enjoyed being on my own gave me time to myself lol! x

I only know one girl who had it done in Germany. But we are not close so she is not an option. And my close friends are all far away. I did my consultations alone and that was alright. At least this way I wasn’t influenced by anyone when picking size.

Trying to think of people I could ask. Everyone is working.

I think you should talk to your Mum, honesty is always the best policy! And you never know she may surprise you, remember you are doing this foe yourself and no one else x

yea, she might not react too bad, but then I have to cope with my brother. Well now I have the problem of finding a new surgeon anyway.

on the overnight stay you get a driver and he takes you there on the day and brings you back on the morning ,, hope everything works out for you babe xxx

I did the op on my own tho my daughter was here to look after me I arrived at the clinic by myself n then came home in a cab which my company laid on for me as I had no-one to pick me up x x x

ive been to all my consultations on my own and going for my op on my own, im scared but im sure il be fine, getting train there and transport back, cant afford it both ways else i would and id be a lot less nervous. i just hate busy places. you’ll be fine hun go for it. xx

Hey im in the same boat everyone is busy or doesnt live close when is your op?

This is sad I personally don’t think I could go through this on my own, but to you ladies that do, you are SO brave, I could never do that…amw4u you should tell your Mum, it’ll hurt her more if you go ahead with it and leave her out of the loop. I know this because my friend did this; I had to go with her to the hospital, and as much as I love my friends, there’s no one I would want to see more than my parents when I wake up, I’m just lucky they’ve been so supportive. My friend’s parents were really hurt that they hadn’t been told and it took a while for them to trust her again and for things to get back to normal…that’s not something you want. At least tell your parents rather than not saying anything at all, so at least they know…they are more likely to accept it! To those ladies who are having problems with your parents, they are just worried; my parents are worried too but they know this is what I want so the best they can do is be there to hold my hand and help me through it (and pay the bill of course ha!) trust me, they will come around, they looovee you xxx

my ops 17th feb, i have a boobie buddy jess so will meet her down there which will be nice. il have my mom with me in spirit and i have a portrait tattoo of her on my back so can just look in the mirror and that will make me feel better my bf will be at home waiting for me to. so not too bad. xx

Good luck pinkykim xxx

I haven’t fixed my date yet, I wanted to do today after posting here, but found out that my PC left the clinic. I had no idea. Their was no warning on their homepage in the past months. So have to find a new PC first. Really not eager to go through the entire consultation thing again. Was ready for my op.

Pinkykim, that sounds great. Good luck.

Hiya i feel exactly the same i got a loan to fund the op and now im dreading telling my mum i have no idea how she will react but i no she will be upset xx
