My op isn't until 11th june, but already I am worrying about things, like what if something goes wrong and my boobs end up worse than they are now? Or there's a complication and i just don't wake up? That's my worst fear, I have a 2 year old boy who is the most important thing in my life, and I keep thinking am I a bad mum for doing something like this? I keep thinking what will happen to him if I don't wake up? Or something else goes horribly wrong like if I get a bllod clot or something? I just don't know what to do now, I had my mind really set before but now I keep wondering if I am just selfish for wanting this done! Help me, is this normal? I am feeling very confused!!

Its reassuring to know I am not the only one who has felt like this!! To be honest, if it wasn't for this site i don't think I would have booked my BA, and everyone on here has been great sharing experiances and giving advice!! Its just so confusing,one minute I am desperate to get it done the next I am contemplating all the horrible things that could go wrong! I am trying to quit smoking in time for my op, and all this worrying is only making me smoke more!! I know I want this done and have done for ages, and i know if I canceled I would regret it and probably hate my boobs more than I do now. Just hope the time flys by so its over with xxxx

Hi, I'm glad i ve read your thread, i have just been for a consultation today, and i have been really worried about the same things as you. blood clots are usually associated with not being mobile for long periods of time and they reassured me that they make you mobilse very soon after surgery which will reduce the risks. my main worry is not waking too!! i have two children and im terrified what would happen to them if it went wrong. i think what your feeling is normal as other people have the same worries,mines booked for the 16th june, scared!!

I was exactly like you.But as the time gets closers you will start getting really excited. I was scared about the GA the most and not waking up, but I was absolutely fine.

Just dont let it stress you out. Im here if you wanna chat xxx

Just can't stop worrying now, I know I am probably worrying far too much but keep going over am I doing the right thing? in my head!! Don't want to regret having it done but don't want to regret not having it!! Argh! Just want it over with so no more worrying!! x

Originally mine was June 30th, and the wait was driving me mad, thinking what if this happens, what if that happens. So I changed it to last week (Wednesday 7th May).

Honestly hun you will be fine xxx

you know, this is exactly what I was doing...I am the biggest coward anyway, I am terrified of needles and hospitals.

I have 3 kids the littlest being 20 months and very needy as you know at that age.
I was so scared that something would go wrong I even asked the woman at Transform how many bad things happen ! She said 'nothing terrible has ever happened, only things that are usually caused by people being careles in the early days'
I asked how many people had died !! she assured me none !

They take a lot of precautions, they watch you constantly while you are under, they make you wear the silly socks to provent DVT, so as long as you do everything that they tell you to before hand and after then I really think you will be fine.

I was looking for any excuse to back out before my op and even on the theatre table I was SO close to backing out, but I am so glad that I went through with it !

I know its almost impossible, but try not to worry too much.

Take care of yourself

I knew that I would worry myself silly so I made my appointment for surgery as soon as I could there was only about 20 days I think before consultaion and surgery.
