Day 8

All is well I went for my first check up, the tapes stay on but I can now take my bra off a full hour a day!!! and Shower (carefully), I am grateful for small mercies. I am fairly happy with the size the latest picture actually makes them look larger than they actually are. I have been shopping already and walked up the hill near me without thinking about it, later I remembered I didn't get out of breath this time, even though I am far from fully recovered. The photo shows the brown tape so you still can't see the scars, I have never seen them, day 15 I will, by then they won't be as shocking I presume.

Now for the healing
All went well, no pain although I did have uncontrollable shaking which they gave me something for. Once I had eaten and drunk a litre of water I felt much better. My boobs are tiny my PS says between a B and C and if they stay this size I am ok with it, but when the swelling goes down I Am not so sure. But either way so much better visually and I do feel lighter and freer around my back and shoulders. So glad it is over I just hope the recovery goes well, good luck to everyone else.

It is an odd process. Mine felt very small afterwards but 10 months down the line the shape is so different, they certainly do drop and fluff and look more natural. Hope the healing goes well, all I advise is lots of rest and plenty of protein to eat. There will be tearful days and days you regret the operation but in long run so worthwhile. I love mine now. X
Don't panic they really do change shape on a daily basis! Make sure you rest up x x
Glad it went well. Keep posting! Mine is on 2 September so I'm really interested. Hope your recovery continues well [RS bleep]
I'm glad to hear that all went well. Rest up and don't do too much too soon.
Sounds like you got my B/C. Hope you add some pics. Pretty sure I am going to be a D/DD but they are definitely smaller, higher & firmer. Good luck with your healing. I have just been lying or sitting about the house promoting good healing thoughts.

Today is the day
Nil by mouth from now on. I only have to travel for half an hour I checked out the Hospital yesterday it is The BMI Shelburne in High Wycombe. Not as nervous as I thought I would be maybe because I have come full circle with this and now resigned to the fact this will be happening. I have a friend taking me I wondered whether those who have already had their op had their children visit? I am debating staying two nights any thoughts on that.. Seeing as I will be fending for myself for the first few days. My kids are 9 and 12, I don't want to distress them, but it would help me I think.

Good luck. Mine is on 2 September in Bristol, UK. PS Lisa Sacks
Hello. I just read your comment about your children. My daughter is 9 and I have the same dilemma. What did you decide?
Hi I have had my op all went well, hardly any pain and after finally eating I feel really quite well, so I think I will arrange for them to visit. I am infact in two minds about whether to go home today. The op went well my only concern is I am on the small side my Ps says B/C I think B, still better with my build to be too small than too big, but it will take some getting used to. Good luck for your op, I was strangely calm in the end and as I say, so far it has been quite easy.
I am staying one night. I live in fear of infection. However I have an extremely helpful husband & no kids at home. Hope all went well for you.
I hope that all went well for you and that you are pleased with the outcome.
