did anyone have trouble with your husband not wanting you to do it

I am really luck that my boyfriend approves of the surgery. He knows the pain and problems I have had. It was really cute because I told him that I wanted him to come to the consultation with me and he was worried that the doctor would think I was doing it for him. I just laughed and was like "I don't think that will be a problem, most boyfriends are not encouraging women to cut off large portions of their breasts."

My husband was not a fan of my decision, although he supported my right to do it. In his mind, they were perfect. I have always been self conscious, though I never really talked about it much. I made the appointment with PS, scheduled the surgery, and THEN told my husband five days before the procedure. In retrospect, that wasnt really fair. I am now 18 days post op and wish I were further along in my recovery. My husband hasn't wanted to see them yet......hopefully soon.

Interesting discussion... My hub has heard me talk about this surgery for years, so no surprise in concept that I moved ahead with it. He was surprised at how fast I pulled the surgery together. He never opposed the surgery, but would have been fine if I didn't do it.

He too loved the "girls", but knew I didn't feel as much love for them....and in fact, I felt less desirable because they were such shapeless blobs from my POV. Some jiggle is nice, but who wants to risk a concussion when having fun between the sheets?

Also I found over the years that it wasn't really pleasurable (or unpleasurable) when the girls were played with. I think between the stress to the nerves fibers from the sheer weight of the breasts, I felt next to nothing. Plus, when you greet the world boobs first because they touch every table, car steering wheel, etc. before you hands do....a touch is less special. I never harped of this too much with my hub, but I think he will find our intimate moments more interesting because of the surgery - assuming he can move past the Franken-boob scars, etc. He hasn't looked at the new girls yet, except when I have worn a bra. He'll get there.

I must say when I brought the idea to my husband he was less than impressed. In fact at first he would not even talk to me about it. He adored my huge boobies. They were his favorite toys. But me being head strong and determined I made an appointment any how. I told my hubby that the PS said he needed to be there (NOT TRUE). So My hubby went to the appointment with me. After talking with the PS and getting all the info my hubby was more on board. He was not excited like I was mind you but at least now he knew why I wanted it and knew what the bennifets to having it done were. I had my surgery on May 25 and my hubby is more excited than I am now. He came home yesterday and told me he can't wait to take me shopping !
