Good luck to those whose ops are taking place soon (Piffle, I am thinking of you...my NHS have turned me down so will have to wait till I can afford it).

Tis Slouchy your (now-ex)nork twin here.

Eb worth appealing, not sure of your circs, but my first GP laughed at me, took me another 2 yrs to get up guts to ask again.
Sorry my post yesterday made it look like I was having it done today when I am actually due to have it before 06 March.
Am gutted for mummc2, all that hoe and then dashed, perhaps we'll be getting done at the same time after all mummc2?

Looks like you and Piffle will be doin it together, Great for support.If all goes well I will be in on the 3oth Jan. My oppointment is on the 14th Jan. Gettin pretty scared. Small things are startin to sink in like, no netball for maybe 6 mths and will have to move certin stuff around at home for easy acsess, will be missin out on a friends b'day and I really dont know how I will go at work with the lifting thing. All small prices to pay for what will hopefully a good outcome.
I am a wreak today have a real saw back, cold saw and saw breasts as monthy is due soon (sorry way to much info) I crap on too much.I like the idea of a diary, I would definatly want to know how you go, but I dont know how it all works???
I will try to shed some light on the pain thing for you girls after my opp.

crikey i thought mine were a pain(in the back) at 30fs .id love to be all petite again, but im too scared to have surgery.any one know anything to reduce without opting for the knife?(im only 5"2", so look like a weeble).jordan must be nuts(as opposed to on nuts!)

well I had my appointment yesterday and fellin much better about the surgery.
She awnsered all my questions and I feel confident she will do a good job. More worried about recovery now, not so much the pain but the healing.
If all goes well could be back at work after 4 weeks (still goin to take 6) and about the same for netball. Yay.
so 7am on the 30th Jan. for a size D

Had my breast reduction 3 weeks ago...September 11 to be exact i am freaking out because one breast looks a bit bigger than the other my surgeon says it will be OK in time..feeling disappointed. Has anyone else had that issue, and was resolved, did the smaller breast match the bigger one overtime.
