Hello all...

This is just a brief note before my surgery... its now Thursday - I am being admitted tomorrow - surgery first thing on Saturday....

As everyone knows there are drawbacks with the NHS... in my case, I was due for surgery on the 23rd April, only to have my bed taken away from me at the last minute when some poor guy was attacked with a machete.... he was on the operating table for 12 hours!! (Puts things into perspective slightly).... anyway, my surgery was replanned and I am confident it will go ahead on Sat....

Wish me luck and I will post some pics after to show my results.... In the meantime, here is the rather nastily proportioned me as I am now....

Speak soon

Good luck with everything. I was walking home today along the river, sun shining, but not a worry about about the gyne. Best I've felt in a long time.

Brilliant result!

Did the surgeon go in under the nipple - or just under the armpits?

I've noticed you don't seem to have any visible damage to your nipples, which a lot of post-op people who had it badly.

Is this because your nipples were not enlarged before the surgery, so they didn't need to be 'trimmed'?  :o

There has to be a reason there is no visible damage at all to your nipples.

What a job and I'm glad you feel free at last.

Thanks so much guys - your comments mean the world!

I had the excision under the nipples as well as lypo through cuts under the arms..... my left nipple does have a visible scar but nothing too severe.... I am still gobsmacked at the right nipple - I can't see a thing, not a mark!! Its incredible.... the fat seems to have magically disappeared, he did a terrific job.

I don't know whether the fact that I didn't really bleed helped - but I wasn't put on drains - even the bandages were white when they came off!! I couldn't understand it... although it explains why the Docs can never find a vein when I have blood tests!! Maybe this is why I haven't really suffered with scars or bruising?

I'm off t'Egypt on Monday for some blistering 40 degree heat (don't worry, I'll be sure to take care of the nips!)... I can't help but feel that it will improve my results even further as a tan will cover any blemishes.... I am so giddy to get my pasty self onto that beach!!

There will be more pictures soon but in the meantime - anyone who is deliberating over whether to try the NHS route - DO IT. I know I've been luckier than some, but I think the more of us who actually approach our Doctors, the more the problem will become more broadly recognised and understood. Then hopefully we will be a step closer to free procedures for one and all.

Thanks again for your kind words and I'll be back in touch soon
