Surgery date confirmed - 20 May! - United Kingdom, GB

Hi ladies! My surgery is TOMORROW morning at 7am!!!! I cant believe how fast its come on although at the same time I feel like I have been waiting for an eternity!!!! My boyfriend is coming with me and I am staying overnight, so will post an update as soon as I can. Thinking of you all!!!!! x

Good luck!! Hope it goes well!! I have 5 more days of waiting!!! Gaaah, the waiting really must be the worst bit!

Haha, you made me laugh in all my worrying state! Yes, i really should have - that would teach them. I know, I feel like I have spent a life time perfecting how to hide them. Great to hear that your pain wasnt too bad, I have had my appendix removed and tonsils removed before - so at least I feel like I have *some* experience of surgery. Thank you so much! How are you feeling now two weeks after? x

Thank you so much for your encouraging comment, it makes it feel better just being able to share the worries with all of you :) All the best to you x

Hi Ann-Marie! Dont let them talk you into a lift, the PS on my second consultation tried to get me to have a lift - he was saying that I will then have 'the perfect hourglass figure', but the thing is that we are not in it for the most perfect proportionate body - we are in it for the pain relief of our back & shoulder pain, and I dream of having small boobs - literally dream of it at night and I KNOW that I want a radically smaller chest - I dont think someone that hasnt been in the same situation really understands us. So stand your ground and try to get some more information on how the referal is going and what will happen next. I know that when I have been refered before on the NHS, i have just had to wait for the letter in the post. They will then just give you an appointment / surgery time and you can change it if the day doesnt suit you, but that means that it will then happen at a later date. But its difficult not knowing! Hopefully they will be able to give you an approximate time frame? Anyways, keep us updated and good luck! Hope you dont have to wait too long!! xx
