Quite scared still after reading up but very excited about going!
Would very much appreciate any comment.

So here a bit if an update to my decision...
Being teased from young girl I've always been very conscious about my physical appearance and being an athlete made it even worse.
From my highschool crush telling me he will never date me because I dont have boobs, my cousin teasing me of not having boobs on our first night out on the town as 18year olds, and now most recently my boss actually saying I should "get a pair of fake boobs" always stuck to the back of my head...
Most ladies having the same problem would know it takes a huge knock on your self confidence and affect significant parts of your life, especially relationships..
So here I am, tonight, 100% confident in my decision, to feel better of my myself, present myself with confidence, better my relationships and generally just feel good about myself!!

After much consideration and good advise I changed my mind about my doctor.
I actually just received an email from Dr Middelhoven in Linmed who claims his patient details are private and none will be given out as reference and am therefore very happy with my decision.

Now my new appointment is in Monday the 15th so very excited!
Busy making a bit of a collection of what I want and doing some research on sizes, silicone vs saline, incision types, placement etc etc.. so any comment would be appreciated!!
I am currently about 50kgs, 1.67m tall and have a very tiny build.
Hoping to be loading some photos tonight!

Especially thanks to Bubbles1980 who is my "mother hen" and have helped with so much already!

Thank you for sharing your very personal story on RealSelf. Glad to hear you are doing this just for yourself and no one else. I'm even happier to hear that you're consulting with another doctor...good for you! Here are some questions for your next consult. Oh and bring your "ideal" photos to your appt too. Let us know how your next appt goes!

I'm so jealous of your pre-ops!!!! If mine had looked like that, I would have never gone under the knife!

Thanks Beth *blush* That's probably my biggest fear, that I will regret my decision and/or something goes wrong and I loose what I have... But that's a risk you take with any op I guess! Hoping and praying I'm making the right decision!

Wow Missy! Your pre-ops are perfect canvasses! No sagging! Your new twins are going to be awesome and your biggest problem will be coping with all the compliments! *hugs* "Mother Hen"

I've been having some doubts about whether I should still go for my op... but after so much consideration, talking to lots of people and doing loads of reading, Im still seeing Dr Hoffmann on Monday and am getting tingly toes from excitement!
Printed some photos to take with this afternoon and made my list of "need-to-knows"... My fiance also made his own list of goodies he wants to know and even did his own reading to make sure he knows whats coming :)
Told the bosses on Friday I'm going to see a doctor, then will have to take some leave for operation possibly and when they wanted to know what's wrong, I just replied... "just having some girly goods fixed" - their facial expressions were priceless!
Now just waiting with butterflies!!
Looking forward to it!!
