My Breast Battle - Barnsley, UK

hey, thanks for the input. I am single no kids and I was hoping to breastfeed but as the likihood of having kids soon has dwindled I am not sure I can wait. I have asked this because I keep putting it off thinking it wont be so bad... but i got to thinking i dont really know if thats true, so many people on here seem to suggest it does get worse with time. I guess it makes sense really gravity for one cant help. Plus as much as I want to breastfeed I am not sure how i would cope if they got bigger, and I hadnt really thought about it. Its just so hard to know if you are doing the right thing . Thanks again the more info I have the more sure I will become I hope. :)

I am going through the exact same thing.... Worrying I will miss them, it will go wrong, that I wont be myself, that doing this will make me miserable forever etc etc. Would be really helpful to know whether you went forward or not and how you are feeling now. Going for my consultation in Sept (the NHS takes forever) so its giving me ages and ages to worry and stress.

Hello, i am sorry to hear of your problems and bein from england and strugglin with NHS who also have hoops to jump through I though I would reply as I can imagine how difficult things feel. I know i had to give up sports because I simply could not do it once i hit puberty and got 34gg and i hate that it happened because i was good, ok i bet i couldnt have made a career out of it but you know.

Have you asked anyone in your family who might have better credit and then you can simply pay them the money and they can pay the surgeons? dont know if that would work like but it might be an idea if you hadnt already thought of it.

I really hope you can figure soemthing out. Good luck to you :)

I first thought about breast reduction at your age... I am now a 34GG. The reasons I chose not to do it at that time was my concerns about breast feeding, scares and everyone opinion i should be happy with my boobs and that they all wanted them. At this point I didnt feel i was in much pain but looking back the aches and headaches were all there I just thought it was normal to feel that way.

So, I have put up with them for another 9 years due to getting busy with university etc. The pain has got worse, and of course all the problem have remained. And now i look at older ladies with big boobs and see that basicallytime will only make it worse. But specifically I have decided to start the process now it because I started running again (trying that is coz god it is not fun and coz a fortune in buying sports bras to try and find one that did something) and I want to be able to be fit and healthy.

What I would say would be:
Know everything about the operations, the scars etc and that you are confident that you will be alright with these and with actually having smaller breasts.
Look at all the things you will loose and what you will gain from the operation and take it from there.

Personally if I was 18 again I would have probably still waited a few of years to make sure my body had finsihed growing etc to make sure i didnt have it done and then them grow some more, but I would start looking into it all and trying decided what I want. It took me the 9 years to get to a point where I can say i am happy with my body and either way I will be happy. However the problems just never stop, what they prevent me from doing and the attitudes people i have to deal with tip the scale. Not having the problems will be worth the scars etc and looking back i wish i had the confidence to decide this earlier.

If you want to chat about aything just message me :) and good luck with your journey ! x

I just wanted to say I am exactly the same. i have just be refer and now im like ....nooooooo i dont want to, tomorrow ill be like I want rid of them now, the next day ill be like well they arent that bad etc etc.... i think its just a difficult decision coz it is important and there is a risk but so many benefits too.
