Starting to wonder if I've made the right decision…

Has anyone else been through a panic/ regret stage coming up to their BA? Mine is in 17 days time and I’m starting to feel so depressed about it and am dreading it and wishing I hadn’t booked it. I’ve wanted it for 10 years and don’t know if it’s normal to start to feel like this… to the point that I feel like I’m on the verge of tears when I think about it as it’s too late to back out now. Also seeing so many posts on here lately about painful/ slow recoveries and problems occurring, whereas I didn’t used to see that many.

Advice please 🙁

Everyones different, posting on here is good for us when we’re in panic or wondering about things, so probably seeing questions about things but what everyone experiences.
Everyone reacts to surgery differently, I wanted my surgery for aaaageessss and was never financially able to do it. I thought sod it grabbed the bull by the horns and did it.
Im so glad I did, im only 2 days post op, and knew it wouldnt be an easy painfree recovery but I’m not too bad with pain, followong the rules and hopefully my recovery will be fine.
I wasn’t nervous at all for mine, I was excited.
Good luck!

Felt exactly the same hun but don’t worry, not everyone has a bad recovery. I am 6 weeks post op and I love mine, I had my moments before and just after where I thought it was a bad idea but that is just part of the process. Was moving around two days after surgery and the pain has been non existent. Just ached a lot at first! Now I feel like they have always been there! Will be worth it, just ride it out. 🙂 xx

This forum really helped me during the buildup period to my surgery. I was in absolute bits the night before my op… Crying, wondering why did I do this, am I being selfish, what if my op goes wrong, what if I don’t like my boobs ETc… I was up most of the night sobbing to my poor husband, I’m really no good with handling my nerves. I go to pieces. But I got through it with his support. He reminded me of all the reasons why I wanted it so bad and how disappointed I would feel if I didn’t go through with it. Managed to calm down eventually. I had doubts as soon as my husband put money down for my new boobs as suddenly it all felt real. I had been waiting 10 years also for my BA I never thought it would ever happen in my life. Luckily I had my op only 2 weeks after paid so the feelings of regret soon went. X

Felt exactly the same, it was as soon as i had paid my money i thought am i doing the right thing! Questioned myself on numerous occassions! However it must of all been anxiety and worry and the fact i was so nervous! Its still early days (8days post op) but Im over the moon with my new boobs and so glad i webt through with it!!!! Xx just try and keep busy from now till your op!!! Xxx

I have felt the same Hun, my surgery is Tuesday, I have always wanted them done, the only thing that is making me nervous is reading about the pain people are going through xxx

Don’t worry girls, I think most of us has some doubts! 🙂 I nearly run away from the hospital! But now I’m glad I did it, my recovery is absolutely fine 🙂 good luck! X

Thank you so much everyone for your support and kind words, feeling a lot better now 🙂 think it doesn’t help that I still need to break the news to my Mum and am stressing about that, despite being 25 and not even living with her anymore (and I’m sure she will be more bothered by the fact I’ve got a loan than the boobs themselves lol)

Thanks girls Xxx

To be honest… I wouldn’t describe it as pain cause it’s not !! I’d say it’s just more of an ache and discomfort… Personally if it was so painful why would we do it? Follow the rules in recovery, don’t over do it after surgery …. I thought I could carry on as normal 3 days post op… You can’t ! It’s major surgery!! My advise to you is REST as much as you can keep on top of pain relief. Your ribs will feel sore / achy and in the morning when you wake up, you will feel discomfort, but hundreds of us girls have been though this at least once… It’s not all as bad as it seems at times!! Good luck and stay positive, your doing this for yourself… I waited around 13 year to have my boobs and I don’t regret it at all xx
