Still waiting on a date to come though, they sure like keeping you waiting but I am happy to. I'm just glad that I will (eventually) be having it done. My lower back pain has been ok recently, been getting twingies now and again but no where near the amount of pain that I use to. The epidural injection seem to have done the trick, for now anyway. My upper back and shoulders are still very tight, especially if I correct my posture and stand up straight. It pulls right between my shoulder blades. I'm hoping this is something that having the surgery will help with. I'm due for another bra fitting but I don't really want to go as I will feel obligated to buy a new bra and I don't really see the point in spending £30 on 1 bra when it will be useless soon. Keeping having to repair my 'fav' bra as the wire keeps popping out.
Not really much of an update as there isn't much change at the moment.
Oh I have started a step challenge in work where I have to walk at least 10,000 steps per day. Hoping it will shift the last of my weight and get me a little fitter for when the surgery arrives. I have been for my evening stroll in the rain this evening. You gotta love the British weather lol. Take care all :) x

Title update

Feels good to be able to update my title! I think I'm going to be even more obsessed with boobs now. I'm already looking at the smaller size bras in the shops, they are SOOOO pretty :) I haven't let myself get excited up until now because of not knowing if it would go ahead. Now it's full on excitement, I'm going to drive my husband mad up until I have my surgery, god help him!

congratulations. I know people telling you that your boobs are big when you are out trying to enjoy your night as if you didn't know. I was put on the waiting list in December and I am still waiting on a date I have been told it is not an important surgery so I just have to wait.

Oh no, poor you for still waiting! I have been told no longer than 18 as that's the treatment times imposed by the government. As soon as it was approved the clock started again. Hope you get a date soon x

you are in the right place for boob obsession here, but in a good way! And yes, why do people need to inform you that have big boobs, why?!!! You wouldn't dream of telling someone they had small boobs - imagine if you tried that!
May 11, 2014
I know it's crazy! Just because they are out there doesn't mean everyone has the right to point them out. Looking forward to a complete new lifestyle once they are gone :)

It was only today when out shopping that I suddenly realised people were not staring at me - it was really obvious, and I loved it! In future I will have to actually wear a wonder bra and low cut top to get my boobs noticed haha! I am making light of it now, but I really did hate it, and I am not a shy person and love wearing fun clothes and really bright colours, but it is JUST RUDE !! Not sure if I put this in my review, as I just remembered it now... but in a nightclub once, a 'friend of a friend' (female, bisexual) literally pulled up my tshirt to have a look, showing the world my bra/boobs. I was fuming, although I laughed it off, I didnt speak to her again. Who does that?! it is like you are public property because you happen to have big boobs. (rant over ;))

I actually said to my hubby was going to go out and buy a nice 34dd bra set just to see what I will be wearing :)
May 11, 2014
Do it :) I have been looking. I found a really pretty peach one in Sainsburys yesterday. They are so diddy, I can't imagine my boobs ever fitting in them.

Happy Happy Happy For You :-)... I'm waiting my insurance company's decision too.
May 7, 2014
Good luck with your insurance company, the feeling you get when it's approved is very odd! It's relief mixed with instant fear, but that only last minutes before you realise that your life is going to change for the better x
