take my babies with me or leave them home – any attractions nr highgate

Don’t back out! I was like that right up to the day, but now, despite the pain at the mo, I’m glad I had it done as the whole thing really wasn’t as bad as I expected. This forum helped me go through with it too, just reading other people’s experiences and then now being able to ask questions about odd shaped boobs etc!!

How long you been thinking about it?

Wow girls I can’t thank u enough for sharing this with me. I can’t believe it’s so close now n I have been sl close to backing out cause I. Was so scared n didn’t want my babies to suffer but I feel bit bettervtoday. I havecwanted this for so long x x

It’s so nice to hear everyone’s experiences on here, and thanks for the advice on the painkillers. I’m on cocodamol too, but they seem to take a long time before they have full effect, like over an hour and a half. Have just stopped taking the antiobiotics tho (Zammit) on advice from the surgeon as I was having a mild reaction to them.

I’m 30 now, nearly 31, and I too spent all of my 20s hating my body, wanting to get my boobs done but too scared about the surgery and worried how I was going to afford it etc. Then at Christmas I just had enough of feeling disgusted and fed up so made a New Year’s resolution to get them done. I’m glad I have done, I am a worrier and think I’ll continue to worry about them until they have completely settled, but thanks to everyone on here I feel satisfied that they way they look and feel at this stage is normal!

Go for it Janeella! Short term pain, long term gain!

Hi Janella I was given co-codomol and paracetamol, but the co-codomol didn’t agree with me they just kept spacing me out and made me feel really light headed so the nurse advised me to take ibuprofen and paracetamol. I took them alternatively every 4 – 6 hours.

Every one is different and pain thresholds vary you just have to listen to your own body and if you are trying to do too much it will let you know. It’s like having kids once you have got your babies you forget about all the pain that you have been through and the smile will never leave your face lol!!!!

i am8 weeks post op, things are FAB now, dont worry about it, go for ot it willbe the best thing you have ever done. No one seems to talk about what it really feels like after the op. I do agree it s not That bad And certainly would not say i was in any pain at all. altho it did feel so uncomfortable!!. i went from small 32a to a 32e with 380cc and 410cc(odd boobs) implants. feels like being kicked in the chest with grapefruit inserted in you, it doesnt hurt just really odd and achy . ask for extra pain killers from nurses if you feel at all in pain as they will always give you extras,

having kids.. well i could barely sit up properly myself .. i mean go from lying down to sitting up without help, not in pain just really immobile!! i would recommend someone else looking after kids for at least 5 days, it will help you heal quicker and get back to normal. Personally, self asteem wise its the best thing you can ever do!! the best money spent. and how happy you will be in the near future will be a benefit to your family!!. 8 weeks on i feel like a whole new person. so much happier in my self ..the personal feeling about my naked self that held me back has gone( some i didnt realise i had till they went) from every part of life… my boobs are great, i feel on top o the world, my husband loves them!! i had no boobs for years and havin them now is THE BEST THING EVER GAWD!!! ITS SO IMPORTANT TO YOUR FEMALE BEING DO IT DOIT DOIT DONT WORRY YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT!!

Hey im 3 days post op at the moment and can honestly say ive had hardly any pain at all. But ive been taking the pain killers every 4-6 hours since ive had my op and im just guna keep taking them for a week just incase. x x x

thanks cheryl, wat painkillers do they give u xx

Hi Girls, I am 5 weeks post op now and completely back to normal, Karen don’t stop the painkillers until at least day 7 I know people write on here about not being in pain but I think they are scared of admitting it. It was round about day 12 when I completely stopped the painkillers and went back to work you just have to remember not to do too much too soon but it is well worth it. I can’t beleive how much your boobs change week on week it’s brill!!!!

Good luck Janella it will be the best thing you have ever done.xxx

since my 20’s but it just wasnt the right time, i joined the raf then i thought there was no point til i had children, then i had to have fertility treatment to get my babies, n my boobs didnt grow in pregnancy (I had them in 2008 – my twin girls that is!), then i had an ectopic pregnancy(2009), so this is the first year ive been able to do it, i still enjoy going out and having holidays so its the right time for me although my twin girls r only 18 months old n im petrified i wont be able to cuddle them after. i am worried about the pain too cause ive been through so much. wat about you?

hi girls its me again. a bit of advice, my ba is 11th may and my hubby is coming with me n not sure to leave my lil girls (18 monthys twin girls) with me or leave them home.i dont wanna b parted from them n hubby said hell take them sightseeing but not sure if theres anything near. xxx

mr chatarasak karen. one day im fine then the next i wanna back out lol xx

Mr Traynor, and he was smashing, really lovely chap. WHo are you booked with?

Thanks Karen eek I’m scared lol, wat surgeon did u have x

Wish I could say I wasn’t but I am! Been reading other people’s experiences and they say they’re hardly in any pain but I am relying on the painkillers! Its a weird pain tho, like a heavy, pressing, tight sensation across the top of my boobs. They’re still v swollen tho the left one has gone down a bit. Not sure if its because I had unders and there wasn’t much room to start with! But it is only day three so maybe I’m expecting too much.

Good luck Janeella!

ta girls im going to leave them home with my parents, its going to b horrid as ive never been apart from them, karen r u in much pain xxx

Hi Janeella

I’m not a mum but had my ba on Tuesday and I am struggling with mobility. I feel like a weeble as I can’t use my upper body to push myself up! I do have two dogs however (yeah, not quite the same I know!) but even thinks like getting them fresh water and letting them out is a task in itself. There isn’t much near Highgate either.

Hi Janella, I know it’s hard leaving the kids but I would defo leave them with someone if you can as you will be in quite a lot of pain after the op and your girls may not understand why you can’t give them lots of cuddles or do anything. My two boys slept out for a week they are 5 and 9 months I didn’t anticipate my eldest having to sleep out as I thought I would be able to do the school run but I just wasn’t up to it. I missed them both like mad and cried loads but I think it helped me heal quicker so that I can be a proper mum again quicker.

Take care and good luck xxx
