Boo, I love your auction but would you consider putting them up as BIN? The World Cup starts tomorrow and England might be out before your auction ends :rotfl:

I've always had a dodgy back for as long as I can remember, but just put up with it. I put it down to having such ample bosoms. I have been trying to pluck up the courage all week to phone the docs to discuss breast reduction surgery to see what my chances are of getting it on the NHS. I really don't want to resort to surgery, but I can't cope with it any longer. I bought a 34JJ bra the other day! I can't get anything to fit me.

Right, think H needs a nappy change, then a nap before Baby Sensory. Better go and get her out of the Antilop (I caved in and bought 2!!! :rotfl:)

I've just put up with mine too, but I can't actually walk now as my right leg is gammy. Have lost the range of movement at the lower spine on that side!

Have a rake online and see if you can find the guideline criteria for the surgery. If you are a certain bra size and are within the BMI that they set the GP can refer you on, Its not up to the GP to decide. They just write the referral then you get an app with a psychologist person andits up to them, can take up to a yr for this. From here you get app with surgeon, then on the list for surgery then done and dusted within 16 wks!

It's a bit stupid they take BMI into consideration... You could be 3ft tall with huuuuuuuuuge bazooms... Your BMI is always going to be too high because of the size of the norks... They should really do it on waist size or something else...

Caitlyn's got my camera, it just flashed so I think she's taken a picture of her own chin lol... She's got her MMR in half an hour... She's already miserable so I doubt it will improve her mood much... :rolleyes: Off to the cradle club after that I think... One of the girls from my newborn group is starting to go, and seeing as we both will be leaving the newborn group soon, and I think she'd be a cool friend... I'm stalking her a little...

Glad to hear Wee James is doing better. Sounds terrible for him yesterday before the op. Hugs for family too as they probably need them just now.

Glam that pic from OH/ Jack is lovely! What a happy smiley boy you have (even if he does keep you up at night!)

Well I think we were only up once in the night. I know A woke up again about 6am and I'm pretty sure I just ignored him and we both went back to sleep to be I can't remember 100% ! I have wondered whether sometimes he just wakes and would fall back to sleep himself as he never cries, just shouts. I might try ignoring him the first time and see what happens tonight.

It does seem pointless, especially if you don't agree with BMI anyway but at the same time, someone asking for a reduction when 10 st overweight when the size of chest would be reduced with weightloss is a waste of resourses IMO. Weight is always a factor in any non esential surgery due to risk of anethestic (sp!)
ps I've heard that breasts don't weight as much as we think they do anyway! I'm sure Glam said that too after her surgery?? Or am I making that up??

Hello! Had 2 of these remember????? Both on the NHS. The second was a result of attending a follow up apptoitment and being told they were still big enough to warrant surgery despite already having one lot done!

BMI is taken into account because there are more risks on doing surgery on larger people.

My referral letter stated the following
Wearing Size 8 trousers with Size 20 blouses in order to do buttons up.
Loss of confidence.
Hating myself and my body, getting really bad mood swings especially when it came to shopping for clothes.
Intense pains in my back and shoulders - I had already been seen about these problems
Bra straps digging right into shoulders - in fact I had permanent dents in my shoulders

If you manage to get an appointment with a Consultant then they take various measurements of your breasts to ensure they are out of proportion with your frame.

Mine were putting so much pressure on my rib cage they actually pushed a rib slightly out of place so I have a small lump where the rib bows out under my left boob!

It can take around a year before you get seen and then a year gain before surgery, just remember that it can impact of BF if you had anymore. They said to me they generally like to wait until you've had all the children you want so that you have the option to BF but I was adamant at the time that I didn't care if I could BF or not. I was so unhappy at the time.

BMI is rubbish. It tells bodybuilders they're obese when their body fat is under ten percent *stupid*

I tried the markers I have on my desk and yes, they stayed. They never used to
