Its been a few weeks since I said Hi. I am SOOOOO bored. I used to play quite a bit of golf and I am missing my friends and the walking. I know its only 6 weeks since my surgery but I really feel well now and want to get back to playing. I have promised myself that I will wait until March for the good weather and to give my body time to heal but I'm not sure I can do it.
I am putting some new photos on for you to see how my scars are healing and how my breasts are falling into place already. Very pleased.
I am totally back to all my housework now and riding my indoor bike just not too much upper body work

I don't have any friend who had previously had anything like this done. So I had to do lots of internet searching to read about Surgeons and their work.

January 28, 2014
Hi. I'm so happy too read such a great review about harley medical group and Mr Mohan! I'm due in on Sunday 9th feb. For a BA. I'm so so nervous. I have noticed you post this in 2012. Would love to know how your getting on now Linzi
January 30, 2014
Hi Linz I am with him for a BA on the 8th, have you found any reviews on him as I can't anywhere so am a little apprehensive. He seemed very nice but good feedback is always reassuring. Are you going to highgate hospital?
January 30, 2014
Hiya! Yeah I'm going in on the 9th at Highgate. I'm so scared!! I can't find none! All I have found is this story on here!! What did he suggest for you?! Yes I thought he was nice. But just found he was very relaxed about it but I surpose he does it every single day! Where as this is life changing for me!! So nice to know someone else is going through it too. As I don't know anyone that's had one.
January 30, 2014
Ah me too now that it's so close. I'm having 325cc I kind of left it to him as to what he felt was best. When I tried the on was happy. What about you? I am excited have wanted this for such a long time, like you said I hope it will be life changing and give me some confidence back x
January 30, 2014
Well I'm a 32aa now!!!!! I'm having 250cc. And I left it to him too. As I didn't have a clue!! As I wanted them to just actually give me boobs! Ha you having unders or overs?! Yes I'm the same I've wanted it done when I was like 16. Being 23 now I think I've waited enough to know it's definetly what I want!! Xx
January 30, 2014
I was a 32 B but have had two children and after feeding am a horrible saggy 32A on a good day! Like you never been happy with them though have also wanted it since being a teenager. Do you have far to travel on Sunday? I will try and let you know how I get on if I can, I'm going under which I have read is meant to be more painful after, I'm just hoping the scars are small x
January 30, 2014
Yes I've read that that's meant to be more painful. I'm just so worried about the recovery, as I'm going back to work I think after 9 days. Never been happy at all! Just can't believe I'm actually doing it and it's come round so quick! I'm coming from somerset. So going to take about 2 and half hours! So not far at all. I havnt been contacted yet about my time to be at the hospital. Have you?! Xx
January 30, 2014
Me too I live near Bristol so about the same. No haven't had my time yet, if not here Monday will give them a ring. Are you having under muscle? My youngest is 10 months so I'm worried how much I will be able to do with him! It is coming round quick, from Saturday I will be on countdown.... Ahhhh x
January 30, 2014
Oh cool. Bristol is like 40mins from me. I live in wincanton. Ahhhh I know! I've been like that the last couple of Sundays! Ha I own a hair salon so I kinda can't take too much time off!!!! Which is really bad because I don't want to make the recovery last forever! But I'm not too good at just sitting around though I'm sure I'll be in pain mind to want to do anything!! Yes I'm going under the muscle as I don't have enough Breast tissue to cover the implant or something along them lines. I really don't know a lot about it. Tried doing a lot of research. Xx
January 30, 2014
Ah I'm in Weston super Mare. Yes think that was the same for me that and my tissue is pretty poor after feeding two children. The last few days I've read sooooooo many reviews, blogs, patient stories etc. just really hope it all goes ok and the scars arent too big. Like you no one I know has had it done to ask. Do people know your getting it done. I've kept mine a secret for now, hoping once I've ditched the padded bras it won't look much different! X
January 30, 2014
No I don't know anyone that's what makes it even harder. Yeah I've read loads of things and you read all the bad stuff don't you!!! No nobody knows other than my parents (as to which my dad doesn't want me to have it done. Mums supportive!!) and my closest friends! I really don't want my clients to notice. I'm thinking they won't look too different with clothes on as I wear padding bras!! I think the scarring shouldn't be too bad I've sen after photos a couple months on and there really small. Xx
January 30, 2014
Well fingers crossed we both get what we have longed for. Let me know if/when you get your time through. Its so nice to know someone else is going through the same thing and with the same surgeon x
January 30, 2014
Yeah your right because I've searched and searched for Mr Mohan and not found a lot!! Best wishes!! Yes let me know when you find out! I'll do the same!! Xx
January 31, 2014
Just got phoned with my admission time. 2oclock. I'm sure your receive yours soon!! Xx
January 31, 2014
How weird I was just going to message you as they have just rung me too, mine is at 1pm on the Saturday so not too early which is good. I will try and let you know how it goes before the end of the day if i can. 1 week to go! X
February 23, 2014
OK.... well i am thinking of getting a tummy tuck at HMG and have been given 3 names on the surgeon information list. I keep reading good and bad reviews and am really unsure if i want to go with them. How did your pop go?

I had the rest of the pads off on wednesday and I can finally have a proper shower. I am not having the water directly onto my front yet as you can see there are still scabs that need to heal and not get soft. It is so nice to be free of bandages. I know it was only three weeks but I didn't like having plastic and bandages attached to me. Feeling really good no pain at all. Sleeping on my back is still really hard broken sleep but it will be worth it for good boobs.

Hi Jo. Are you putting any Ointment on your scabs to help them heal better? That might improve the look of your left breast scab.
October 29, 2012
Thanks bootie beauty. My clinic has told me not to put any ointment or creams on the scabs just to let them heal. I have been good and today I only have one or two very small dry scabs left. Once the scars have really started to heal I can start to use the bio oil I have bought.

Ok I went for my dressing change again today. My surgery was 2 weeks today. I have had some weeping from my incisions so i guessed i would need to be re bandaged. I am now only covered with a loose pad over my nipples so can see the vertical scar which i think is healing really quickly. There was some itching with the whole of the area covered so I am pleased to come down to small pads. I am to go back on wednesday and hopefully these can come off then. So I have been in our house resting, my husband is still doing most of the house work (quite well too). So I thought I was better than I actually am. After the clinic we went to the super market. I had very sharp pains between my breasts and had to have the keys and wait in the car. I think this was maybe the release of weight after the bandages came off and my body has to get used to this new feeling. But it was incredibly painful. Apart from that I am feeling really well. I have put some new photos on too. Hope you can see that the incisions are healing well. I will put more pics on on wednesday when hopefully the last pads can come off.

Hi again jo11jo, you are looking great, can you tell me if so far this whole thing has meat your expectations, are there things that are happening that you didnt expect? have you been using any scar treatments? are you still on pain meds, I'm sorry for all the questions but who better can answer then someone that has just gone thru this ! take good care !
October 20, 2012
Hi nowornever. I don't mind at all answering some questions. Like you said who better to tell than someone who has just done it. So far my expectations have been met and exceeded. I asked for a breast lift but didn't really know how it would look on my body. I can tell you even with all the swelling that is on my upper chest i know i am going to be really pleased. The tightness between my breasts was unexpected. But I suppose i just hadn't though that through. The skin has to stretch to accommodate the implant and my own raised breast tissue. It should give soon. (I hope). I have not used any treatments for scar tissue yet. The incisions are only just healing. I have had strips on until last Friday when the nurse took them off. She just said let fresh air get them for an hour or two a day and she wants me back on wednesday. I only took pain meds for four days. I didn't like how they made me feel. I was so tired and dazed so I stopped taking them. I can honestly say I have not been uncomfortable with any pain only the stretching between my breasts. when is your surgery?
October 25, 2012
Hi jo11jo, sorry for the late reply, thank you for your response means a lot to me, so happy you are doing great and hope this will continue, my big day is Nov. 8th, time is flying by fast,
October 20, 2012
you saId you had to have that draIn In what was that for and how long dId u have that In
October 20, 2012
Hi. The drain was only in for one day. They were removed in the hospital before I was discharged. My surgeon likes to use a drain because he has created a pocket that could fill with fluid. Having the drain there meant it wouldn't fill. There was a very small amount of blood in each drain pouch so no problems at all. It was uncomfortable having them removed. Just an odd pulling feeling as the tube came out. Hope that helps

Hey jo11jo. Looking good so far. What size were your breast before surgery?
October 23, 2012
Hi Bootiebearty I was an empty c cup in an unpadded bra. I wore a d cup padded bra for ages before my surgery so hopefully it wont be too noticeable when i go back to meeting with my friends. I think i will be a d/dd when they finally drop. Take care xx
