After 5 Years of Thinking About It.. 32A to 32D Overnight.. - Albyn hospital, Aberdeen, UK

Can't belive it's 2 days till my op, in fact in 48 hours time I will have new boobs.. such an exciting feeling especially when it's something I've been dreaming of for so long.
I was never blessed with boobs of any shape or size with my chest resembling that of a teengage boy for as long as I can remember. Spending 5 years researching the procedure includinget the pros and cons hasn't been easy, it's almost easier to talk yourself out of it the more educated you get however all of this research has has actually fascinated me and has helped me make an informed decision about having this life changing procedure ( definitely life changing for me, I've never had to wear a sports bra in my life, never not been able to see my feet and never experienced this back pain allike you gifted ladies talk about ) having said that I'm not entirely sure if I class there as pros...

I am from north of Aberdeen and so having my procedure at the albyn hospital in Aberdeen City, My surgeon Dr Amir Tadros who specialises in breast and hand surgery and is very highly ranked - I done my research on him too! I felt instantly comfortable at my initial consultation and there again for both further consultations . Mr Tadros was great, he anewered all of my queries professionally and was very helpful when choosing my implants, we tried various implants again and again weighing up all options and finally settling on the perfect size for me.

I have chosen 450cc, moderate plus profile implants which will be inserted over the muscle, initially I was a tiny bit apprehensive of such a large implant size however being 5ft5, and weighing in at 9.5 stone with a slim but curvy figure I could see why Mr Tadros said 450cc implants would compliment my figure perfectly. As per his procedure he does order at least 5 sets of implants per patient and would never leave in implants that look abnormally large or silly. His aesthetic nurses are on hand to assist with implant decision and I know that whatever I wake up with will have been the best, most practical choice for me.

I can't wait......

I feel like im getting sorer but I guess thats the GA wearing off. I had my maximum doseage of morphine following my OP and have been on oral meds since.. I also have a cathator in as I was finding it extremely difficult to wee and it was getting me a bit stressed. I havent seen all of my new boobs yet but I can see the top and im really happy with them. Originally we planned 450cc overs M+ however when I was under these were a bit wide and very-un natural looking, I had always mentioned to my surgeon I wanted to keep somewhat of a natural look and something that suited my quite small frame. I think we have gone for 350cc M+ overs and I am actually filling my D cup sports bra very snuggly, I know the swelling will reduce and I think I will be left with a nice D.. which is what I was hoping for anyway so im super pleased. Maybe the 450cc would have been slightly on the big side for me..

Sleepwise ive gotten a couple of hours, I am a very light sleeper at the best of times and with nurses doing obs and just general hospital environment noise I have struggled a bit but im glad im here as they have been great. I would have never coped at home. These electric beds are a god sent!!

Hoping to be discharged later on this morning if the pain eases off but for now I think its back to sleep for me.. n'night ????

Being 100% honest these last 24 hours have been tough.. not having the aid of an electrical bed has been very difficult and I have been feeling really quite sore, more on one side than the other.
I have been keeping right ontop of my meds and would strongly recommend that to everyone.. don't wait until it gets sore!
Sleeping is a bit of a nightmare as I am not used to sleeping on my back at all, I really dont like it :( Hoping that it wont be too long before I can get onto my side but we shall see..
Wonder if anyone else has had this sharp pain in just one boob? not really sure what it could be.
In general terms, being in recovery is a bit boring.. I went out a walk with my boyfriend tonight and the dogs and got some fresh air which did take my mind off of the pain and discomfort. He has been absolutely brilliant so far helping me with everything he possibly can.. he even see's the funny side of my mood swings. I feel bad because he must be feeling a bit bored :( will definately make it upto him when im feeling a bit better. On the upper hand my bestfriend asked me to be her bridesmaid today which definately cheered me up big time.. roll on the wedding planning ????
