45 Year Old, Scheduled for Breast Reduction in September - Bath, GB
ORIGINAL POST
Had my first appointment with the surgeon last...
WORTH IT
Had my first appointment with the surgeon last month and, while I'm still quite nervous about going ahead with the reduction, I'm definitely ready to downsize in the boob department. I'm currently a 32GG and can't wait to be able to wear whatever I want instead of clothes that either make my boobs look enormous (which they are!) or make me look really chunky.

Waiting
It took me a long time to decide to go ahead with a reduction and now I know I want to do it I'd just like to get on with it. I'm doing it privately so I could have it done sooner but September is the best time - daughter will be at school, husband can take time off work and grandparents will be there to help.. I'm just frustrated at the wait. I keep looking at all the clothes I will be able to wear afterwards and find it hard to be patient. I also wish it was all over and done with for our summer holiday so I could buy a nice swimsuit. I just have to keep thinking about all the cute clothes I'll be able to wear next summer :)

I can't imagine how hard it must be for you to wait. I decided at Christmas and went to Prague at the end of March and was done and dusted on March 28th. Best thing I have ever done. Worth every penny of the £2000 I paid. Worth the small bit of discomfort I felt.

Meeting with the surgeon
So I went for my final meeting with the surgeon on Monday. It went really well. He answered my questions, showed me some BR surgeries he'd done previously (before and 6 months after) and they looked fine plus he introduced me to the nurse who will be dealing with my pre and post op care and she was lovely. I also had a surprise mammogram - I wasn't expecting to do it on Monday but it meant I wouldn't have to go back again just to do that. Anyway it was all very reassuring which was good. Unfortunately today my 8 year old came home from school and said she was worried about me going into hospital and had told her teacher that I was having my 'boobies shrunk'! We had a chat and she's fine now but who knows what the teacher thinks :)

Most likely the teacher thinks "Good for her." Teachers are used to those adorable candid things kids say. I teach and figure it'll take them about five minutes to figure out what happened and to start discussing it amongst themselves. I have an assortment of vague answers prepared, and have been working on my wandering off as if I didn't hear a thing technique. I shall remain tight lipped and proper on the outside, and giggling on the inside.

Hahaha your daughter sounds really cute. I went to Phuket 4 weeks after i decided my breasts where too large and usless, i had my breast reduction 4 weeks ago along with the tummy tuck. You will be just fine. When I woke it felt like i was on fire at the incision sites but the anaesthetist reminded me about the morphine PAC i was attached too. Ask if yours can inject local anaesthetic to the area. I wish i had thought to ask.
That was the worst of the 3 days in hospital as i was in hospital for 9 days in total. the tummy tuck was on the 3rd day.
Before i got of track i was going to say- Lol. My son 17.5 also told his teachers and friends about my surgeries as he flew to Phuket 2 weeks after i left to stay the last week and help me fly home.
We have teacher interviews next week- I know they will be secretly checking me out. so im feeling really self conscious about going.

Lol. It does make me laugh that whenever I talk to friends about the op they immediately look at my boobs as if they have never noticed how big I am before! :). It will make a nice change afterwards for people to notice something other than my large chest!

Haha yeah as if your friends didn't notice before you mentioned it. Friends are great at seeing the real you not like the others who will see your boobs coming first.
Im excited for you.
