Scared, Stressed, Nervous, Worried – Nightmare! :(

Hi Girls,

OMG its flying buy 11 days left before my op. I think I am all organised with everything I need for a good recovery. However, each day that goes by I feel physically sick to the stomach, scared and stressed about a few things to the point where I had a nightmare last night and woke up!!

I’m so worried about the needle and the after effects on anaesthetic , the strapping and sleeping up right. I have 11days off work including weekends, I haven’t told work and I will not be in future so it’s a big secret I have to go back to normal straight away.

I will need to drive to work on the 12th day how did people feel around 12 days or 2 weeks after their op?? I am having partials I pray for an easy recovery!! Also, when I get my strapping off on 7th day, can the nurse measure me so I can order a good sports bra (Shock Absorb)- I don’t know what size I will be??

I am so scared and nervous now, I have no excitement in me at all – it’s horrible I’m supposed to enjoy this experience but I’m dreading every minute of it. I haven’t even told my dad or nan yet and that’s a massive hurdle to climb , I live with my dad so I have to tell him sometime. Any tips?

Thanks girls,

Try not to stress i was fine up untill the 30mins before they came & got me for surgery! Baring in mind i was in fitzroy from 11am dint go down for surgery till 6pm, strapping is very uncomfortable not nice but keep on top of ur meds should be ok 🙂 u will need to tell somone my partner has had to help me sit up help me change etc so would maybe help u having someone there for you! I honestly thought id cope really well but i dont think i have. Lol. Im due back to work on saturday so that will be 8th day i got told i could drive after 7 days so fingers crossed all will be ok 🙂 xxxx

Omg really, were you a day case or overnight? I couldn’t wait that long I need it to go quick so I don’t have time to think or panic!! Ill end up walking out lol.
I cant wait for my boobs wanted them forever lol, just whole work up is killing me. Yeah im with my mom for the first week but ill be back at my dads and work a week later, I need to tell my dad but I don’t have the guts!!! that’s another thing stressing me out !! xxxx

Ah hun try not to stress i had my BA 8th I was fine the whole time. Boobs havnt caused me problems it’s my back and I had severe sickness off been allergic to anti biotics. It’s uncomfortable more than anything else I had a bath the day I got out been dressed everything just do everything slowly.havnt taken pain killers only on a night to sleep. U do need someone to help tho as I totally forgot little things like getting a glass out my cupboard etc if they high up. The strap I have on has been a nitemare. Was told I could take it off for half hour a day but got to have it on for 2 weeks don’t know what worse keeping it on or taking it off then having to put it back on. Iv took 12days off so hope I’m ok :-/ as im a mobile hairdresser and beautician.xx

Everyone in the hospital are so good, they really look after you, so you don’t have to worry about that.
I haven’t told my family yet-I might see if I can get away without mentioning it lol and wear baggy jumpers! X

Thanks girls, I know ill be stressing about the needle and about sleeping the most. Strapping ill deal with only on for 7 days !
I have just mentioned it to my nan, she went crazy to start with but I sat and explained it, and she came round- I don’t know how I’m going to tell my dad !!!
I am now stressing about size I was offered 500 an 550cc… I was adamant on 500cc however, I am now thinking 550cc !! Ahhhh stress 🙁 xxx

I was so anxious before the op but there really is nothing to worry about 🙂 I had something to calm me which was amazing and made me enjoy the experience instead of panic so you could always ask them about that. They are all so lovely there too which really helps. One bit of advice that I can give is when your planning on going to sleep make sure your in a position where you can’t slide down the bed.This happened to me one morning and even with someone with their arms under my back trying to help me up the pain was so bad and was very scary. I’ve learnt from my mistake on that one! Good luck with everything, try not to worry yourself because there really is no need to 🙂 such and exciting time! Xxx

Im not tellin my family either!!! Im just going to pretend im ill and hide away in my room haha! And then wear loose clothing. I literally cant tell them, I dont speak to my parents about anything so if i all of sudden tell them im getting this they will have a right go! im just gonna risk not telling them and try and do things for myself. Hopefully the worst of the pain is over by the 2/3 day. Im sure you will be fine, at least your nan is expecting this. Cant she tell your dad for you? xxx

I am glad many of you ladies have mentioned not telling family. I to feel my family would freak and not understand why i have finally plucked up the courage to do something for myself. Its been a long time thinking should I/shouldn’t I!
I wish all of you the very best and I’m sure after the op you will be reassuring many other worried ladies 🙂 Look forward to hearing all about it x

Thanks girls I feel a bit better now, I have heard they can give you some gas & air before the needle to calm you down, ill be freaking out I know it.. im freaking out now thinking about it!!

Glad to hear so many arnt telling there families lol.. thing is I would love to hide it from my dad but he will know when im not home for a week at my moms he will suspect something. I have to tell him, I might sit him down with all the paper work etc to show i’m dedicated and serious about it. My nan told me she rather me have a boob job than go to work aboard for six months haha.

Im sure we will be fine girls, just a massive decision which will be over in an hour to last the rest of your life !!! xxx
