Hey everyone I thought I'd share my story. I'm not going to go into making my decision or the doubts because there were a lot of doubts at first and fears so my story would go on forever! Basically long story short I lost a lot of weight and my boobs were great at first but in the last 2 years they started looking droopy and then they ended up shrinking which devastated me. I've always been busty so got used to it and liked it a bit like all the blonde highlights in my hair. Without my highlights I don't feel like "me"

The day before my ba I went to work thinking I would be better off there than sitting at home worrying and by the time I got home I would be tired so be able to get to sleep. WRONG! I spent the day freaking out and sending my fiancee texts to which he couldn't reply since he had to have run out of credit. Well I got all of my things organised and took care of my last minute work things which was good. At least when I go back to work everything will have run smoothly. I left 15 mins early and as I walked out of there could not stop smiling. Rushed off to get my nails done my anaestatist was fine with acrylic nails and I wanted to feel nice in the hospital. Nerves nerves nerves! Finally went to sleep woke up nervous and aprehensive. I'd made my decision and had been excited the last month and now I was scared just great. I worried about what if they were too big or too small? What if they didn't look nice? My mum drove me to the hospital and stayed with me until I was wheeled in. The sleeping pills calmed me down nicely plus I was first up so I was glad getting it done early. I looked at the clock in the operating room and it was 8.20am. They gave me a needle which hurt a bit despite the numbing cream and told me I would start to feel sleepy. I replied after a few seconds yeah I'm starting to feel tired now and they said they would see me later.

I woke up moaning because I was so groggy and coming out of a deep sleep. I complained I needed to go to the toilet but couldn't go when I tried. I was also groaning and got a bit hysterical complaining it hurt so much and pretty much sobbing. It felt really heavy and sore plus lefty was really hurting me. I had an oxygen mask on and felt really dopey. The nurse helped me to the toilet but again I couldn't go. After awhile I felt like I was busting so I got up and went myself and finally managed to go then I paged her to help me back to bed since I had an IV drip. They told me my dad had called twice and I was trying to call him but not getting an answer. I managed to get hold of my fiancee told him I was awake and it was done then kept trying to call my dad. I woke up to my dad pinching my feet in an affectionate way like he does and the phone was still in my hand! He visited with me and then I started to nod off so he said he was going to go to work and let me rest. I was given an ice pack for lefty because it hurt so badly. Slept more then woke up and decided not to sleep again because it was nearly time for my mum to visit with my brother and sister. The surgeon came to see me and was amazed I was sitting up in bed. He had a look and feel and said they looked good. I have to admit I was a bit freaked because they looked enormous but I kept reassuring myself the swelling would go down. Mum got there with my siblings and she had a look (I was bandaged) and said omg I hope they get smaller so I had to reassure her they would. They left after their visit and 15 mins later my fiancee visited me. I should add that both mum and fiancee had brought me flowers, I told my fiancee the night before that I would really appreciate them! Cheeky I know. I stayed overnight in the hospital and was discharged the next day.

Day 1 was fine at first but the stronger painkillers I was on stopped me peeing which was awful. I called the hospital and if I didn't start to go in the next hour or so was going to need to go in and have my bladder scanned and drained! It was awful but luckily soon after talking to them I managed to go and I stopped taking those painkillers. As the evening got close I was so naseous and in the worst pain I was crying and even had the thought that I shouldn't have done it. I threw up twice and couldn't eat dinner or sleep. I then started having to go to the toilet non stop from all of the anaestesia leaving my body I think. Eventually I managed to sleep

Day 2 I woke up and the heavy pain and contractions had stopped although I had zingers in their place. I was a lot better and the swelling had gone done heaps.

Day 3 I felt great and when my dad called I told him I felt nearly 100% the zingers were there but not quite as bad but I had some trouble getting to sleep and then woke up early. Probably from all the sleeping in the afternoon. I only had to take 4 panadol all day.

Day 4 woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep so got up. I had my pre op appnt my poor boobs felt so sore when the bandages came off and they were exposed for those first few minutes. The ps said to my mum you poor thing you look horrified! He assured her that they were still swollen and would go down even more. He doesn't think I will end up bigger than a 34D which is a 32DD (I need a 32 band) and I am currently wearning a 32E with swelling. Putting that bra on felt great all that support meant nearly no pain moving around. In the afternoon I had a few moments where I felt a little sad but I told myself it was normal and kept my mind off it. I showered and my fiancee washed my hair. I used a hairdryer on my incisions and nipples because they are still taped and noticed a huge bruise on lefty. My ps has seen it so I'm not worried there is one on my right which is yellow but the one on my left is purple. He advised to massage it a little to help break it up. My fiancee also told me one looked higher than the other and I reassured him it was normal and it would end up dropping the same as the other (lefty is the higher one and the most painful. It was my smaller breast to begin with) Thankfully I didn't even panic about it being higher, thanks to all the wonderful women on here I knew what to expect so didn't freak out. I didn't take painkillers because I don't need them anymore.

Day 5 woke up early again and couldn't get back to sleep so got up. I went shopping with my mum and saw some great clothes. I'm going back next week to buy some especially some nice satin shirts for work. I also started doing weight watchers today (my ps ok me to lose 6kgs) Jenny Craig would not let me join up again until a few months after my ba!!! Even though my ps signed their letter! Their dietician said no so I thought right I'll go elsewhere. I have these great boobs that make me feel so sexy and confident which I haven't felt for a long time. Even though I have this 6kgs to lose I feel amazing whereas pre ba I felt fat and frumpy. I'm inspired to lose the bit of weight I've put on and get the clothes that um shrunk in the wash to fit again. I see my ps again on Friday which will be 8 days post op. There's not much pain today but I am still sore and my incisions are slightly itchy. Also my nipples have started regaining feeling! It was hard to tell at first because they are taped up to prevent my areolas stretching as my boobs have been growing.

I am loving the new me. My poor mum is still worried about how big they are. She didn't understand it but supported me. I have to keep reassuring her that the ps said I'm going to get smaller as the swelling goes away. I don't blame her because when he took the bandages off they looked very globe like and huge. She also loved my ps! She said he was a lovely man very charming (he is) he is at least in his sixties. Also he has a certificate saying he's been a member since 1974 (he is board qualified plus is a member at all these other societies) She was very impressed with him and thinks he's the one that did one of her old work colleagues reduction.

So here it is my very long story haha I'm sorry it was so long but I'm not one to skimp on details. Hopefully this will help the newbies too like everyone here helped me. Basically just feeling on top of the world and I have decided in the next month I am taking my family and fiancee out for dinner. My mum says it's not necessary but tough I'm doing it anyway! Everyone has helped me so much it's been amazing and I'd like to do something nice to thank them for it.

Hope you enjoyed my story!

It is so nice that you have such a great family (sounds like it) and I am glad you are happy. I lost weight on weight watchers which is why I now have some new boobs. After I heal up I will start back on weight watchers and start going back to the gym. I hope you have a good recovery!

Kristi95 · 03-11-2008, 08:42 PM

I agree, your mum sounds wonderful.

Take care and enjoy your new and improved self!
