Hey everyone! K story goes I am a 24 year old girl...

WORTH IT$3,000

Hey everyone! K story goes I am a 24 year old girl who has battled with her weight for a very lone time. Since November 2008 till now I have lost almost 8 stone in weight. Now what the down fall is that my boobs have taken a huge hit with this weight loss.

All my family and I have always been large chested even before I put on the extra weight and as It stands I am still an E cup after this weight loss. However my boobs now look like they belong to a 80 year old woman or the best way to describe them if I bend over is like the woman from 'There's something about Mary' ha ha.... I have thought long and hard about the surgery. I had so many things running through my head with scarring being the biggest issue and do I really need to do this.. when one day I just said k I have enough of putting my breast back into the bra as its always falling out, I am sick of having to hold them u and the worst is the noise they make if u are having any bedroom action at all ( Cringe )when I though of this and of course the fact I could never wear a proper bikini top I said that's it I am getting this done. To start with I went for numerous consultations here in Ireland. The answers I got from each surgery were some what different... 1st surgeon could perform it via lollipop and I would be a D cup, another surgeon said I needed a full anchor and I would be a B cup :( this went on and on.... also is Ireland I was quoted between €7500-€9500 for the lift with only a one night stay in hospital. I already had surgery abroad before and trust me it was such a more enjoyable experience then the two times that I have had it in Ireland I looked into having it done... I sent away what must have been 50 different forms and consultations with surgeons worldwide and the overall amount suggested I go with the full anchor as my dropping is a level 3 - whatever that means but I am guessing its the worst level lol.... I was between a few places where one female surgeon kept coming back into my head.... u know when u get that nagging feeling and you just know that you are meant to go with that person... that's the feeling that I had for weeks about her. It also helped that she sent me non-airbrushed photos of her work and actually put me in contact with a young girl that was still in Prague at the time getting a breast lift. When the girl got home she sent me pics and we spent over an hour talking on the phone. I was amazed with the results and she really put my ind at ease... off I went the next day and paid my depo and booked my flights. My surgery is booked in for May 23rd but I am going over on the 21st to see Prague for two days before hand. I am then staying in Prague for 8 nights, two of these will be in the clinic after surgery and the others will be in amazing apartments just over the clinic.

The operation over in Prague is costing me €2000. There is a massive price difference and seeming as I am a student - finished final year exams the friday before I fly out for surgery! this was important to me. Let me give you an example. The surgeon in Ireland that quoted me €7500 is from Belgium and operates for a clinic here a few times a month. I decided to contact him directly where he offered me the surgery for €3000 in Belgium so that shows you how much Ireland add to their prices for services like this. Not one surgeon I spoke to in Ireland was Irish so I see no harm in getting it done abroad.

Another thing I was worried about was that I would have small boobs.. my surgeon does not rec me getting implants at the same time and I agree with her, so I am going to go for this surgery and see if I am happy, I am guessing if I am a E at the moment I will prob be a D/DD after the surgery.... I am 5ft 8in and I weight 140lbs so i think that I would look still quite large with a D breast. If not I will go for implants later down the line. I am so busy with college work up until my surgery that I wont have too much time to think about it to be honest. I do get anxious from time to time thinking am I do the right thing but this is only because of the scars. I am wondering does anyone have some info or help for me on how should I prepare for surgery and also to minimise brusing and to help the scars heal really well? I dont smoke or drink too much so I know that stands to me :) Thanks so much for reading and I will keep you posted as I go.... I will also add pics of before and after!!! [RS bleep]

I am just back from Portugal and it kinda hit me...

I am just back from Portugal and it kinda hit me that this would be the last time my boobs would be this way in a bikini top.... now they are going to look soooo much better after the lift but I actually kinda started to feel a little sad... since then I now have the nervous anxious thoughts running through my head.... like am I crazy doing this to me body and what happens if it goes wrong.... It is now only a month away so I need to start preparing everything for the surgery......
so the plan for this time next week is too have got: Anrica 30 tablets- I bruise like a peach so I def need to take these a little bit before the surgery.
need to get Acai berry juice, love it and its good for you, need protein bars and shakes for recovery, I will be in the clinic for near a week so I am ok for bandages etc, anything like that they will give me over there.I need to get some Palmers Vit E oil, along with silicone strips and gel and some mederma too. I will be staying in my boyfriends moms house for a week after I get back from surgery so I dont have to worry about cleaning, cooking etc. I know the one thing I am going to find hard thou is the sleeping on my back :(

another thing that has propped up is that I am sooo unhappy with my tummy.... I have lost sooo much weight, and now some say too much as my back and top half are a pack of bones but the weight will not shift from my lower tummy area at all, If I loose anymore weight I actually think that I would be to thin (ya i know strange a women could think she is too thin) but I am so used to being heavy I am finding it a mental challenge to adjust to the new me, seeing bones in places I didnt know there was any, but now being in the bath hurts as my bones are not used to being exposed. So I sent pics to the Dr, she came back like all the rest and said a TT, but being only 24 with no kids as of yet this is not an option for me at all. I suggested lipo so she said yes but I would be left with loose skin after.... so I am thinking that I may now also go for lipo while I am there, may aswell torture myself more

ok ladies its only one month today!!! I cant believe it. Ok so far this week I have done a few things to prepare. Today I have started my high protein diet, I am hoping that I can stick to it as best as I can. I have stocked up with protein shakes, bars, protein soups, protein pudding and protein hot drinks for the week of surgery and the week after ( I was able to get them from the diet clinic that I am apart of). I went and got myself a new Acai Juice that I have already started taking but will bring the new bottle to Prague with me and for after. I also got Arnica tablets, I am going to start taking these about a week pre-op to get them into my system. I also got Bromelain tablets along with Quercetin and Vit C tablets, I could not get the two together so had to buy he Bromelain and Quercetin seperate which I will again start taking a week pre-op. I also got Palmers Scar Serum. I am waiting to hear back from my GP about silicone sheets, if no I will order them for make me heal with a few other bits that I want ( will let ye all know what I order) I also got in contact with my surgeon and asked her to have a second bra for me that I can buy from her, as I can wear this while the other is on the wash ect. I have decided that I am going to get lipo also, so I will post a piece over there soon. I have taken some pics which I will upload today, so these are me one month exactly to surgery. I am going to try and lose a few more pounds if I can before surgery but we will just have to wait and see :)
