22yo, 30J Hoping to Be a DD

Right, so I actually had another account but the log in details got messed up, so here I am starting again.
I'm 22 years old, 5ft4 and around 140lbs with 30J (UK sizing) breasts. I'm sure if you're reading this you're probably not in need of a backstory, because you'll have had the same pain that all us big-breasted ladies have! I'm under a month away from the procedure and this has been my experience so far. My apologies if it's a bit long and rambly:

A few years ago, I tried applying for NHS funding but my doctor wouldn't give me a second look (despite admitting that I had some spinal deformity). He tried blaming my localised back and neck pain on vit D deficiency. Anyway, a year later I went to a different doctor who applied for funding straight away. Unfortunately it wasn't successful - it all depends on your local CCG and mine have stopped funding any type of breast surgery (although if the first guy had just applied when I asked him to, I would have stood a chance).

At the end of March this year I arranged a consultation with a private plastic surgeon (Mr Jeremy Hurren) who very considerately talked me through the procedure, the risks, and expectations. He suggested that the smallest he could make me was a sort of D/DD - which is perfectly fine with me! I don't think I've been that size since I was 12 years old! He also said that although he doesn't ordinarily use drains, my reduction would be quite considerable so it's a possibility that I will need them. He will be using the wise pattern technique which he explained in detail, and explained all about the anchor shaped scar (which, of course, having been a frequent visitor to this site, I was already well aware of). All in all, the consultation was a success and the man is one of the nicest medical professionals I've ever encountered.

HOWEVER there have been some complications. During the consultation, my surgeon examined my breasts and found a lump. He said he didn't think it was worrying, but to go to the breast clinic anyway just for an ultrasound. My GP referred me, and when he examined me, he thought the lump was a clump of cysts. I went for the ultrasound and it's not a clump of cysts but a dense mass. So a biopsy is needed (will be having it tomorrow) to see if it's benign or cancerous. When I spoke to my surgeon he didn't seem too concerned about it, but expressed that he definitely needs to see the pathology before he goes in for the reduction. He even might be able to take the bloody thing out if it's just a fibroadenoma (benign tumour) because it's within the scope of tissue that gets removed during the procedure anyway.

I am pretty scared to have the biopsy, because I'm a complete wimp when it comes to medical procedures, but I know it's got to be done. And I'm thinking of it in terms of - "if I can get through a scary procedure while awake I can 100% get through surgery". And in a month's time I might be walking around with little DD breasts!

So after waiting for 2 hours in a very hot waiting room I had an appointment that lasted approximately 2 minutes telling me that my results are benign and the fibroadenoma can be removed during my surgery! Very good news and means I can now get on with prepping for surgery - buying post-surgery bras, cleaning and setting up the house, settling into a bit more of a healthy lifestyle, etc.

Well here we go, I've paid for the surgery now, I've bought all the bits I thought I needed (we'll see how right/wrong I am about those) and now I'm going to power clean the house and set everything up for recovery.

I am so nervous - I have been keeping myself insanely busy for the past few weeks and I haven't really thought much about surgery (although when buying post op bras I did have a lot of amazement and exitement. It's a whole new world out there when it comes to shopping) so now I'm really getting into the last bits of prep I'm starting to feel the nerves.

Tomorrow I'm allowed to take 5mg of diazepam (presumably at 11:30 with my last sip of water) to try and ease some of my nerves but I'm not allowed to take more than that. Gotta be scrubbed with the hibiscrub tonight and tomorrow morning and not allowed to wear lotion or makeup or nail varnish or perfume. I also have to remember to pee in a cup and bring that with me. I'll be staying in hospital overnight so need to pack my washbag too.

Do you guys have any extra advice on what I might need to do or buy to feel a bit less scared? I'm mad nervous about the IV so any reassurance on that front would be very very very welcome!
