WORTH IT
Only 9 days to go. Nerves have kicked in big time. So I have been brave, and taken some 'before' pics, and decided to start writing my review. So apologies if this is just a whole load of thoughts dumped into 1 review!
A quick bit about my history - 29yo, 5'3", UK size 14, had no breasts at all until I was 18. I was a B/C cup for ages, then at 23, I shot up to a G cup. Now hovering between 30H & HH. Reduction arranged for the 15th Jan, when I am heading back down to a B cup!! I've forgotten what that felt like, so I'm quite apprehensive.
Had my pre-op before xmas & I still feel very uninformed about the procedure (obviously have had lots of help from you lovely ladies, but not really from the hospital). I have been told that my surgery will not be performed by the PS I met during my consultation, which is quite scary, although when I went for my pre-op everyone I saw said how lucky I was to have this new surgeon. Still dont really know how the process will work once I get to the hospital. I'm an obsessive planner, so this is not helping the nerves one little bit!
I've started getting my stuff ready for hospital - PJs, dressing gown, slippers, toothbrush, bras - tried on the post-op bras for fun, nearly did myself an injury trying to zip the pink one up! Can't believe that these will ever fit :-/
Also been browsing online shops for things I'd like to wear post-op - have a very expensive mental wish-list going on right now!

Strange things...

Ok, so usually i have quite vivid dreams (people tell me its because I eat too much cheese!), but for the last 4 nights I have been dreaming of my life with smaller breasts.
Day 1 - dreamt that I hadn't told anyone about the surgery & people starting commenting that I must've had surgery - because I had a limp! And when I looked at my foot, my stupid surgeon had stitched my new breast onto my foot!!
My favourite though, was definitely last night - I was on holiday with my family, wearing a teeny weeny bikini, I had a washboard stomach, I was running along the beach (in fact, I was running just about everywhere!) There was some kind of incident involving being locked out of a villa & having to climb the walls in my bikini. I want to be this girl!! I also want her flat stomach & tan too, but I'm not sure I'm gonna get these in surgery!
This is such a cool thing. I think its my brain adjusting to the idea of smaller boobs. Maybe that means I am ready?? I hope so!

Ha ha, like the weirdness of the first dream! Are you going NHS or private? Very interested to hear that your breasts increased in your early 20's, most unusual but then so am I - see my review, about to have my second reduction, also in the UK. keep posting your story.

Can't believe it is getting so close for you. I have weird dreams too. Sometimes I wish I knew what they meant. Good luck with your surgery! You are going to look amazing! Look forward to seeing your updates.

I laughed so much about the breast stitched to your foot and that you ran everywhere with your washboard stomach :D It was so funny !
I guess i must have vivid dreams too because my future hubby says i am constantly talking in my sleep ( what i am usually doing not often ! ) Must be some pre op stress going on ! ;) Good luck to you, our surgery dates are not that far away from eachother =)

This time tomorrow I'll be at the hospital...eek! Sooo nervous right now. Have my hospital bag packed. Alarm is set for 4.45 in the morning. Went into panic mode last night & made a last minute dash to get more bras because I really have no idea what size I'm going to be needing!! I now have 6 to choose from!! Have a sneaky suspicion some of them will need to be returned!
Just need to get through the day at work & then I'm on the home straight :-)

This is very exciting! You will do really well I am sure. Just keep focussing on all the great times that lie ahead when you are healed up with your lovely new frontage. Will be sending you good wishes tomorrow.
January 14, 2014
Thank You :-) I've been looking at a nice holiday later in the year when I'm all healed. That should keep my spirits up!!

January 14, 2014
Hey hun. You'll be fine and I bought four sizes for mine. It was on friday in Portsmouth. Where in the UK are you? Good luck with it all!!! And if you have questions this site is better than the hospital anyway :p [RS bleep]
January 14, 2014
Thanks, I'm just hoping that one of them fits!! Hows the recovery going?? Hope you havent been affected too badly by the floods :-( I'm in East Anglia. Love this site - given me so much more information & confidence than anywhere else!

January 14, 2014

January 14, 2014
