How do I find a good reliable surgen and how much do I need to save. Is there anyone out there that has had this surgery could u please give me some advice.

I would have thought that your GP could advise. For some, breast reduction is available through NHS funding, so your GP may know of private Consultants in your area, through work done for the NHS.

I wouldnt consider doing anything until you have been to the GP.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

I suggest you look at the breasthealthonline.org site. This has a UK forum and gives lots of help and advice. I found it very helpful and reassuring. If you want to pm me then feel free.0

Sorry, just came across your message during a bored moment (never usually in this site) however, the good news is I HAVE HAD A REDUCTION!!!! Anything you want to know just ask (my home email address is mags444@blueyonder.co.uk) probably best to do it this way rather than through Money Saving Expert!0

Why? Is it not sound advice, likely to be useful to all who are interested?

Sorry you feel I'm being underhand, that's simply not the case. I remember seeing a message saying that this website was not to be used as a chat room about one's experiences but to stick to money saving ideas, so I decided to put my personal email address in so that girls who genuinely wanted to ask what it was like could do so. Sorry, I'll not bother helping in the future!Debt_Free_Chick wrote:Why? Is it not sound advice, likely to be useful to all who are interested?

hi maggie
Thank you for your reply. I will pm u but I am going away for the next 2 wks. I will have access to a computer but its easier to chat if I'm at home. Thanks for your interest. I did wonder wot underhand advice u could give about a breast reduction. purhaps you know someone who does it in Their backroom in their lunch hour! ( I am joking ).HOW MUCH ?0 -
Look forward to chatting on your return from hols. Have a good time. While you're away I'll be out in my shed sharpening my scalpels for my next patient!!! ha ha ha.
Don't worry, my op was done by a fully qualified BUPA consultant. Speak soon x0 -

No need to get the hump:D
You could have explained in your first post. But try to take a step back, will you?
It looked as if you had some "underhand" solution. You could have had some vested interest e.g. as a back-street plastic surgeon.
If you can offer legitimate general advice, without trying to give a medical solution, then you should do so. Whilst I understand the comment about only giving Money Saving advice, this wasn't primarily a Money Saving question - it was a "Where do I start" question. If you've had personal experience, then I don't think there would be any objection to you posting a "this is what I did" post.
What you musn't do is to try and guide the poster down a particular route, where the question is health-related. One needs to be qualified to do that AND actually see the patient ... which is only common sense, really.
