I am just your everyday mum, wife, career girl with a passion for life! I am happy in every aspect of my life and live it to the full but hate my boobs!
They really are awful and succeed in making me look much larger than I really am. I am a curvey UK 12/14 yet have to buy much larger tops/dressers which result in everything being big under my arms but gaping at the front.....I am sure that many of you can relate? Nothing fits, hunch when I walk, backache, frustration, don't feel sexy, I could go on forever!
I am currently 36FF and very saggy. Although a reduction has always been in the back of my mind, the crunch came when trying on a dress without a bra which was slightly cut out around the waist. I looked down and my boob was sticking out! I can laugh now, but at the time I was mortified and cried my eyes out!
Enough was enough so after a heart to heart with the hubby, we decided a reduction was the way forward!
Within the week I had been for two consultations and had booked a date! Excited would be an understatement! Some may think this was too fast but when it has always been there as an undercurrent, we just put into words what had been in my mind for years! I now feel such a sense of relief.
I have done my research and am fortunate to have found a top breast reconstructive surgeon who made me feel at ease from the moment I met her.
My op date is 15th July, today being 11th so only four days to go. I am trying to prepare myself as best I can as my hubby works away and I work full time too.
I have bought several post op bras in different sizes (not sure what size I will be with the swelling) from the Asda, they are cheap so don't bother getting all expensive ones. They tend to have them online rather than in the shops.
I have also bought a v shaped pillow as I have seen this commented on several forums as being good for support when you can't lay on your side.
I am going to pre cook some meals that can be frozen in order to take away the hassle of cooking as well as ensuring that everything at home is done beforehand. Although the hubby works away my daughter still lives at home so she will be my support as and when I need her.
I don't yet have many nerves but I am sure that will come nearer the time. I keep reading so many different reviews but appreciate that we are all different in regards to recovery but I wanted to document my journey as it happens as well as keeping it real in the hope that I may help others just like me.
I will keep you updated guy's and keep writing as it really helps me reading your experiences x
Ps I have attached a few before pics and the cost is in pounds not dollars

Operation eve!!

Well guys it is now the eve of my op! I have officially finished work for the summer and some of my work friends took me out to tea to wish me luck!
I have packed and I am a little nervous but more with anticipation rather than fear. I am due to have my op in the afternoon so hopefully will post later on in the night depending on my "drug" situation ;)
See you all on the other side! x

Today is the day!

Currently chilling ......can't believe how calm I am. I have bathed, packed and tried to get as much as I can sorted.
Driving myself as hubby works away and won't be back until this evening.
Have a few butterflies still but I 100% believe I am doing the right thing. Just getting in as many cuddles with my gorgeous dog while I can!
Catch you all later x

Unfortunately I am having to go private and pay myself but have no doubt in my mind that it will be worth every penny!
To be honest, it is probably better not having to wait around once the decision has been made.
It's great that you can both see and feel the difference so soon post op! I am having difficulty imagining what it will be like, with being so big breasted for the last 30 years.
It's also good that you have the two weeks off work, but you need to ensure that you are fully recovered before you go back, I work in education so I'm off for the summer.
I am both very excited and nervous and look forward to updating you all.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and if you have any further tips I would really appreciate them x
I will defo look into the gel and sheets, thank you so much for the advice x
Good luck with your pre op and keep us posted x
