I’m booked in for my BA 6th August , 700cc with traynor. I’m currently 3 stone overweight and I don’t no weather to postpone my op until I’ve lost my weight? What shall I do? Is there a cost to change dates? Help please xx
There is a cost to postpone it. Who says your 3 stone overweight or is that what you think xx
I would loose weight first. Cause there’s a higher chance of rippling if u loose weight after.
Really do you know much?? I’m 3 stone over weight according to my bmi 🙁 that’s what I was thinking Jamie but I just don’t know what to do 🙁 xxx
Hey hun it says in terms and conditions.. if u want to reschedule.. if its 6 or less days notice its £500.. 7-14 days £150.. 15 or more days notice £75.. also i agree its better to lose weight before ur op xx
@amanda25 what if you change your mind and what to cancel your booked op altogether? :S
U lose all the money hun xx
Thanks Amanda that’s a great help!!! I think £75 is a small cost to pay to make sure I loose weight first instead of paying 4 grand to experience rippling? Xxx
Are you actually 3 stone over weight in your opinion? Because the BMI stats are ridiculous, if i was my BMI for my height and weight and frame id look ridiculous… 3 stone sounds like a lot of weight to lose, do you feel you need to lose that much? It was be a case of losing a stone n a half n feeling and looking good? If its soley the BMI thats putting you off then i would still go for that date in august and try and lose as much as you can as safely as poss… Im a size 12, 5ft 7′ and weigh about 10 1/2 stone- my BMI says i should be about 8stone!!! I like being curvy tho! Im fit and healthy with it. Im getting my BA with Traynor in 7days 600cc overs 🙂 xx
Hi jade!!! Well when I tell everyone how much I weigh they tell me I don’t look it at all! I’m 5 foot 8 and can probably pull of being a bit heavier than what I’m ment to be. You make total sense tho when you say that!! I’m curvy and just need to lose weight around my stomach so I could probably loose a bit and time my stomach up by August? Ahh I just don’t know what to do what would you do? Xxx
Peoples weight and bmi really bugs me sometimes….I weigh exactly the same as my sister give or take a few pounds and she wears size 14-16 clothing I wear size 10-12 clothing, she looks massively bigger than I do and im 5″5 she is 5″3.
I also have another friend that weighs the same as me but is alot bigger than me and wearing size 16 clothing.
I dont think weight counts for anything tbh just be the weight that makes you happy I always go on clothing sizes rather than what the scales and bmi have to say xxx
Kayleigh Hun I don’t think you should rely solely in the bmi stats to determine how much weight you want to lose. If you’re fit and healthy just lose it to what makes you happy and confident and if its just you’re stomach you think you need to tone then that’s all you should do. You have a bit of height so that might add to the weight you have but you should only be concerned if you felt you were unhealthy and unfit but as it’s just your stomach you want to tone and your happy with the size you are then you could possible stick with the date and in the meantime focus on toning up your stomach. Toning your stomach can also be done post op too following the all clear at the 6 week check and some even start light lower body workouts even before then. Hunk about what makes you feel happy and comfortable rather than her BMI.
Thanks girls!!! Yous are right I should think more about how my clothes feel that the bmi scale!!! Thanks everyone xxxx
Hi Kayleigh,
I agree with everyone else. I’m 5.11 1/5 and weigh 11stone my Bmi allows me to be 9.5st which I think personally I would look anorexic! The reason I am having my BA is because I stupidly stopped eating to lose 3 stone and ended up with very deflated boobies luckily every surgeon I saw said I can get away with not having a lift yet. I haven’t had kids but they said I had boobs of a 30 something who has breastfed 2 kids. I’m worried about rippling as I have very little fat or tissue there now but I’ll live with it, can’t be any worse than they look now. Whatever you do lose weight sensibly x
I wud defintly loose weight before op. Ive gained 10lbs and still got rippling.
Kayleigh, personally i would 100% go for the date in August- I could do with losing a stone but its easier said than done but i was desperate to get mine booked! And when i paid the date couldnt come quick enough. You have to ask yourself tho- if you get yoour boobs done, will they make your frame look more proportionate or will they make you look bigger?! xx
