Today is D-D day !!!

I’m Having my op today. I cant believe how quick its come round. I was originally booked in on 9th May, but i requested a cancellation date and voila they called me last week and offered me this slot, so its all happened within a month of my first visit which is great because once i decide i want something I just want it to hurry up and happen.
I didn’t sleep much last night, I kept seeing images of how my clothes would look on me after the op and then stressing that my new boobs would pop the buttons off my new Ralph Lauren shirt 🙂 Its so funny what we think about when we are trying to fall asleep, or what my brain thinks about. I was in a dilemma thinking about all my front fastening, button up shirts and dresses ‘What will I do if they won’t button up? Will I have to leave them open and wear a vest top underneath? Will i no longer be able to button up blouses ?? Thats actually quite exciting if I can’t. I will be an official member of the ‘Big Boobs club’ I will be able to share in the complaints of those lucky ladies who couldn’t possibly squeeze their Brad Pitt’s into a pop fastening shirt.
So I eventually fell asleep about 3 am and woke at 7am, which is really annoying because i know I will not sleep properly for the next 6 weeks because of having to sleep sitting up!! I realise that I usually sleep on my front and completeley squash my boobs, so I will no longer be able to sleep in my favourite position.
So today is about saying goodbye to my small boobs and preparing for the arrival of a new, bigger, fuller, bouncy pair.
My phone keeps buzzing with friends and family members ( the ones who know) wishing me all the best which is so lovely of them. I feel for the first time that I am doing something which is truly and totally for my self, for my self esteem and it feels good.
I also want to say in this post that I have been very happy with my natural boobies, they have been beautiful and pert for most of my life, they have fed 3 beautiful babies, I am grateful for what God gave me, all I am doing today is enhancing what is already good! ( I have to put that because I am grateful for the healthy body I have been blessed with)
i will share the post op journey as it unfolds girlies….

Aw good luck for today x x

Haha this post made me laugh, good luck xxx

I can totally relate to this post as pretty much everything you’ve just said is me all over apart the breastfeeding as I have 2 children and struggled with it my ops due 18th may but going to meet mr mounir today which was a cancellation (wasn’t supposed to meet him until 3rd may) so hoping to put my op forward too… good luck with today and like u say a new journey begins in your life all my best wishes!!

Thankyou for your well wishes everyone. I am sitting in my very nice hospital room, I have bumped into Dr Traynor already and met the anaethetist. It feels very surreal and I feel relaxed and calm. I am trying not to think about the pain I will be in when I wake up. its a really nice hospital, there are major roadworks near by so it took ages to find. We set off half an hour early and i would advise any girls traveling to Preston first trust to do the same.
I just had my final consultation with Dr Traynor and I am having 350 and 375 HP overs to balance out asymmetry.
He is lovely and I feel very happy to be booked in with him.
i will catch up with you all later (if I can move my arms to type!!)

So girlies, op is all done, it went sooooo smoothly. The staff are all really nice and Dr Traynor is really lovely, I’m so happy he did my op, I trusted him completley with my size and to do a good job, I just put myself totally in his hands.
The anesthetic is nothing at all to worry about, i fell asleep within seconds and when I woke up an hour and a half later I thought I was in a dream, it was dead funny.
i have no pain, just feels tight, a bit like when an under wire bra digs in.
I absolutley love my boobies already, so strange, I was worried how I would feel when i first saw them. I thought it would take ages to get used to seeing my boobs looking so much bigger, but when i first saw them they just looked normal, I thought yes, this is how they are meant to look. looking down on them they dont look that big, but taking a photo from the front they look massive.
i feel happy and the whole experience and everyone at the hospital has been great, very positive they’re all lovely.
i will post some before and after pics if I can work out how to do it.
ps lots of love to the other girls who I know are in here, in other rooms recovering from there ops aswell. xx

I’m so happy its all done. for girls waiting to have their op, please don’t worry, its a very straight forward operation.

Wow you look amazing 🙂 you have been in my thoughts all day am glad all went well xxx

Ah thanks Carrie, so nice of you to think of me. I am feeling really happy, a bit bruised, the pain killers are wearing off a bit now so I am feeling a little bit tender. nothinng to bad though. are you waiting to have yours done or have you had them done alreday? I can’t believe how quick today has gone. This forum is such a great site, really helps to connect with others going through the same thing and share our journeys together xx

They look amazing Bekki. Glad it all went OK. I had my op yesterday too but in London. I’m rather sore today, how are you feeling? Xxx

@mya450cc hi Gerda
i am feeling really bruised and swollen I have 2 big savoy cabbage leaves resting on my boobs and an ice pack. bra is un zipped and the cold is really really soothing. Hope you are managing with the massive melons on chest feeling haha xx

oh no poor you Gerda, strapping must feel so tight. every day is another day closer to being pain free!!! i am really hoping that by next week I feel much better. Did you manage to sleep last night? i really struggled.

Yeah my chest feels tight but I think it’s my boobs that feel tight rather than the strapping although it’s hard to tell lol I managed to sleep okay considering. I woke up a few times but went back to sleep okay ish. Kept trying to turn on my side in my sleep and woke myself up from the pain a few times haha.. also I still had the stockings on so woke up from my toes throbbing at one point and woke my partner to pull them off haha xxx
