my story long

[jodyt]

its hard to pinpoint when exactly mt breast augmentation story started, did it start when i was 11 yo and haveing my 32dd bra strap pinged by a 12 yo bully,did it start when i had my first child and they balloned to 34 h,did it start when they decreased to a 34 e, did it start when i gave up ballet because i overheard someone say "its like watching marrilyn monroe doing the dying swan". did it start when i had my second child and they jumped to a 34j or did it start when they shrunk to a 34 dd again,did it start the day i couldnt remove my bra infront of my husband,or the day when i stoped even being able to look at them myself,or the day i went to buy a bra and relised i was haveing to roll the skin up to fit a dd bra,or the day i sat in my living room weith my head in my hands sobbing because i was to embarresed to go on a friends hen night, or the day i read a magazine story about a woman who fixed her breasts.
im not really sure and i dont think i ever will be but what i can describe is what happened after i furst understood that i could fix it.

i went on 16 different consults armed with a print out of usefull questions that i printed off the justbreastimplants main site, i found a ps who totally rocked my boat,he talked me out of unneccarcery procudures and obviously was not just out to take as much dosh as i could,i then check out his registration and gmc history.

i then made my first post on this forum,with so many hyperactive questions i got loads of responces and anawers,the basic jist of these were ask as many questions as you can,so i did, i asked and asked till i felt my brain couldnt possibly take in any more this was done at the same time as comeing to the end of a 4 year study into auto immune disorders my findings with that and the more helpfull info from this forum reasured me immensly,
i booked the ps,i attended 5 further consults with him chooping and changeing cc's ect.

on june the second i took a limo to the airport and boarded a plane with my rice crackers,bankers draft and clean underware, i arrived in cyprus with little more than me,card with link to this forum on and stuff to wear, i was totally freaked out and spent the evening posting from a internet cafe on the forum after all the reasurence i recived from the ladys here i felt better i left the internet cafe and went straight to the hospital.

my ps drew on me with a blue marker pen went over the implant cc's ect just to check i wanted 600cc as apparently thats unusual for a first breast augmentation,we measured skin slackness ect played around with some implants. he was a little concerned about the cc's but agreed to just go as big as my skin and tissue would allow,we then went through to the opperating thearter where he helped me onto a bed whilst showing me the equipment he was going to use and introduceing me to the nurses.
i then went to sleep,i woke up crying and being sick then slept again when i woke again there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers for me from my consultants aide and a driver waiting to take me to my hotel.
the next 2 days were a bit of a blur apart from the whole 'ive got a elephant sat on my chest feeling' and ouch this hurts with a nurse popping in to help me with washing,meds,meals ect.

on the 4th day my husband knocked on my room door,i wasent expecting him he had just jumped on a plane cos he knew i felt sh*tty.

i then flew home,when i arrived home i felt drained emotional and just a little bit tense. non of my clouths fitted right it hurt to just shampoo my hair or drive and my breasts looked like they had been smashed up with a hammer, i concentrated on keeping up with my pain meds and lernt to sleep with angled pillows i also posted om here loads for reasurence and support.

a few days later i was able to do small household tasks and gradually regain my life each day produced greater copeing stragtagiues and less pain.

after some months i was able to buy great fitting bras and shirts,i was able to look in a mirror,to undress infront of another human,to feel ok about going out with friends,to actually look in a mirror with out crying,to allow myself to see myself as i actually am and fineally give myself permission to forgive myself for my early start on the breast wagon and forgive the bullys from school.

now i have a fairly settled 34 g i have no extra skin or sag,i feel like a real woman exactly as i should be,i can undress with lights on and feel free and i no longer hide in shadows.

my story is not by any streach of the imagineation over even though my breast augmentation was some years ago,but for the time being i can say with my hand on my heart 'i wouldnt change a thing and after many years i feel ok when i see myself' naked im happer my family are happier and i value myself more

you should write a book about your experience. not only do i think it would bring closure on your part but you would definately be an inspiration to other women out there. good on you girl. xxx

The publisher, as well as the computer, would correct your spelling for you. Don't let something that minor stop you. You have a gift for storytelling!

You are very brave doing it all alone. Congrats on the new boobs.
