Guys - I have been reading this board for the last few weeks, and I have been getting more and more inspired by all of you. Firstly for all your postings and frank sharing of experiences. You have made me feel that I am not a freak, and I thank you for that.
Secondly, you have given me the motivation to move forward with the surgery option, and I will be making appointments with a couple of popular surgeons on here, and will see which one I feel most comfortable with. Each of the surgeons seem to come with glowing reports of gratitute from the, now, de-boobed patients.
I have had gyne since the onset of puberty, and discovered a bit about gyne in my early 30's. I went through the NHS and got a Lyposuction op, which frankly, was about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. The results were poor to say the least, and while there was a little reduction in size, it was nothing that I had hoped for. The shirt stayed firmly on my back at every opportunity.
My daughter is now 6 years old, and i hate the fact that I can't ( won't..!!) take her swimming for my self conciousness. I owe it to her to be able to share these things with her - but I also owe it to myself to live my life un-encumbered by my 2 handfuls of resentment.
reading your posts about your lives pre and then post op only serves to strengthen my resolve. I have shared the same ridicules, humiliations, self-conciousness and embarassements that many of you spoke of.
I will let you know how my consultations go, but I wanted to make my first post a thank you to you all. I know we all share a common ailment with many similar impacts on our lives, but this forum is such a liberating find with the ability to change lives.
En-mass, you guys perform as important a job as the surgeons.
Thanks
G.
