Returning back to work

I am 9 days pre-op (can’t believe i just typed that) and i can’t stop thinking about when i return to work post op. I work with mostly techy men about 25 and about 5 some what frumpy women. I am not frumpy at all…. nice dress suits, pencil skirts and heels everyday. I am worried about the response when i return in January as i don’t want the men to be any more shy/intimidated by me and i certainly don’t want to make the women uncomfortable. i’ve posted this question before but I would like to hear from anyone with good and bad experiences (especially those who are recently back to work).

my words are….who cares what others think! stuff em. its only an issue if you allow it to be an issue. I can make mine look alot smaller by wearing a high impact sports bra, which i tend to do alot of the time anyway…and show em off at times when i want to look sexier.

To be honest, i have had alot of lovely responces and also alot of bitchy responces…. my good friend suprised me. She was so happy for me to have mine done and when i did, she started wearing padded uplifting bras (which was great) but making comments about how natural is best…even though she said before how much she would love one. So, its kinda made me feel a tad awkward. I told her i was going for my bra fitting and asked her to come with me but she said she was “busy wrapping xmas presents”.?! then never asked how it went or what size i was… so, just like a taboo sugject. BY no means would i expect anyone else to love and appreciate my boobs as i do…. i had my BA for ME and thats all that matters. but, some of the lack of support from my friend really did hurt me… mostly because i didnt think she had a jelous nature. but, honestly… it really doesnt matter what people think. Having my BA has been the best thing for me. my husband is so happy… as, being together half our lives…hes never seen me so comfortabl naked so much! hehehe. xx

Thanks misspink. Interesting response from your mate. You’re right it is about me and I will deal with everyone as it happens. I too have been with my husband for half my life so it will be interesting the response from him Do you mind me asking how old you were when you had them done? Im 41.

have you told everyone that your having it done? i was open with everyone in work i had to be for saftey reasons but when i returned there were the usual questions, did it hurt/what do they feel like ect ect, but nobody mentions it now, i work with men, younger and older women.

ive a friend and mums at my daughter school comment but i just ignore it, im happy my bf is happy thats all that matters and if people are nasty its just jealousy pure and simple and if people are the jealous type if you hadnt have had your boobs done they’d prob just find somthing else to comment on.

dont let it worry you, you’ve waited long enough for them so just enjoy them xx

31 hun… i spent so much of my teen years crying because i was so flat! Boys were mean and girls just use to use me as a laughing joke… i learnt to laugh with em. even in recent years. lol… it got to a point i joked about myself… just became natural. I had my children then a family trauma… so, was put off for years. either, didnt have the money or wrong timings. Infact, having my children gve me a bot of boob…even though they were just like sacks of skin (from breast feeding)… I didn’t realise how emotional having boobs would be to me… like a deep underlying haunting…. when Mr Kazzazi asked what size i was i said i didnt know. i just wore big bras and padded them. He said “you’re an empty A cup… (i welled up)… but don’t you worry… i’m goingto make you perfect breasts”. I felt a right idiot… just started crying. So, you know… i couldnt give a toss about other people… their insecurities over my boobs, has sod all to do with them… its their own issues that need addressing and i cant do that. so, thats the way you should look at it huni. Debs is right… if its not your boobs, it will be something else. Enjoy every minute of it…. it will change you life.xx

Thanks girls, i have only told one of the girls at work who is going to keep her ears open for me. she is also going to help me out if i need help lifting as we might be moving offices in Spring. Im sure i will be ok by then though. I will keep you posted. Glad it has turned out all positive for everyone and that you have the confidence to say ‘stuff the lot of them’ hope thats me too.

Nobody at work even noticed mine

They look smaller now than what they did pre-op in my padded bra! x
