5 days to go

5 days until my surgery

I have done my pre op bloods, and filled in all my paperwork, so we are on the final countdown now.

I'm feeling really excited, but also quite nervous  a its a major operation.  I'm more nervous about how I am going to cope with a very active 2 year old ...

I'm sure I will be fine, I will just need to take it easy.

Looking forward to being able to go bra shopping....

Consultation

Today I had my first consultation with the plastic surgeon.  He is lovely, and I feel very safe in his hands.

Because I have already had a consult with him 4 years ago, there wasnt a whole lot that I didnt already know.....

Except that after 4 years, and 1 pregnancy my boobs are 4.5cm lower than they were...... (not a pretty thought)....... Even less pretty in real life..

I am a HH cup, and I have asked to go to a C or D cup.... Whatever he thinks is the most suitable for my body.

Surgery booked for the 20th November.....  Yes that is less than 3 weeks away....... Scary? I think so!......

Old Gal's

As usual, I am totally slack at blogging.
I do however, religiously check my blog reader and follow other peoples blog, but considering I have no followers, and very few profile views, I guess no one really minds..... Which is ok with me, because this blog is more a diary of my life (when I remember to write) so that I can look back when my children are all grown up and think.. wow... so thats what I was thinking back then.....

Anyway... I am going to be blogging about my new little journey I am about to embark on.

I'm getting new boobs.....

Anyone who knows me personally or on FB, will know I have ENORMOUS boobs. 
I have had big boobs since I was about 13/14 years old.   I was always known at school as "the girl with blonde hair and big boobs".... Something that I was not particularly proud of... but hey... you get what you're given right?

A few years ago, before I got pregnant with Harry, I applied to my health insurance company for partial cover for a reduction... and after a bit of confusion.... I eventualy got declined.....

1 pregnancy and 3 years later and I have VERY large... HH cup breasts that point to the floor... and I HATE them. 
I refuse to go through another pregnancy again with boobs this size, and although I had plenty of milk, breast feeding was very challenging.  Trying to be discrete in public while breastfeeding with J cup breasts was impossible...
I lasted for 6 months, and then gave up, as it was just so much hard work.

Today I have an appointment with a plastic surgeon. 
It is the same surgeon that operated on my sisters boobs, and the same surgeon that I saw initially when I thought that health insurance was going to cover me.

I am going to blog my journey through my reduction....  I am going to share before and after photos....  (afterall.. who hasn't seen a pair of boobs)?

See ya later old gals..... time for a new pair!!!
