Finally my Time Has Come! So Excited!!! - London, UK

I have just been reading through everyone else's experiences on here and looking for answers to my many questions that the NHS does not seem to give information on!

I am 29 years old and have wanted a breast reduction operation for as long as I can remember. I've had massive boobs since I was 13, which is so unfair as neither my mum or my sisters have big busts, they're all lovely little pert b's, if I was to give them some of mine, I would still have enough left over to rival them. In fact, ironically, even after the surgery I will most likely be bigger than them!

Anyways, I've got 2 lovely kids and I think that's enough for me, I have had back pain since I was a teen which I have complained to the doctors about all throughout. I never thought I could have this op on the NHS, but as I genuinely have a good reason for it I went to my doctor complaining about the back problems (yet again) and she was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! She really went all out to make sure the consultant would accept my case and even said that if they said no now, she would try again in 6 months. I cannot stress enough how great she was, and to think I was so nervous in approaching the subject!

Anyways, I had to go see the PS at a more local hospital and he saw my breasts and decided that I had reason enough to get the breast reduction on the NHS so he put me on the waiting list.

After a few months I got the letter for my pre-op appointment for 2nd july and then the BR appointment for the week after. Unfortunately, before the pre-op they sent a letter to say that they had to push it back 4 weeks due to emergency surgery but to attend the pre-op anyway.

At the pre-op I was disappointed that I didn't get to speak to the PS, I have sooo many questions to ask him, the nurse didn't seem to know much and so I actually don't really know much about anything other than what I've read on the website which has been a godsend!

My BR op has been pushed back AGAIN another 2 weeks to 27th august so I am praying that it will not be postponed again! I should have already had it by now if it had been the original date!

Though my husband supports me, some of my family doesn't. To be honest, I think it's mainly jealousy that I am getting this done as both the people who are against me doing it are both people who would want it themselves! So I don't really have anywhere else to discuss this!

Anyways, I'm sorry about blabbing on! Thanks for reading this far! Can't wait to update as I get closer to the surgery! It's exactly 4 weeks, 1 day away!! :-)

I forgot to mention that I'm a 32gg, 34g depending on time of the month. They look a bit smaller in the photos but they're just so heavy!!! Thanks so much for your support xx

I keep reading everyone's reviews and can't believe what a difference this op makes to everyone! There is no doubt in my mind that I want to do this. I was scared at one point but that feeling has well and truly gone and been replaced with excitement. This morning, my breasts were just so heavy and painful and I noticed I have so many stretch marks on my actual breasts from them literally being dragged down! When I'm not wearing a bra, even just whilst showering I can feel them dragging down my shoulders and chest, it's just horrible! Looking forward to having them reduced! :-)
Still got some weight to lose though and some toning to do! Any advice for stomach toning? After 2 kids things are not quite as they should be...
