Hi, everyone!

Does anyone know whether it is possible to get any Plastic Surgery done on the NHS in England? If so, are there any criteria to fulfil! And does it matter if you originally had the op on the NHS? Or would they consider surgery for someone who was self-pay?

Its a long way off for me, cos I'm only at the start of my journey & I'm actually hoping that I won't need to have it (I have been overweight for years, but haven't ever been pregnant, don't have many stretchmarks & my skin seems fairly firm, which other postings seem to suggest this is a positive sign - but you never know!) but I probably will need a breast reduction (I'm a 38J & am expecting that, by the time this journey ends, I'll probably be able to polish my shoes as I walk!!! If you get my drift!! :biggrin:) I might consider surgery on my upper arms, if I get the "bingo wing" effect. If I go the whole hog & go for breast/tummy tuck/upper arms, I dread to think how much that will cost!! I need to know whether I've got to start saving, all over again!

Any stories/previous experiences would be really helpful!

Hey, Mrs JBJ1

Good to hear from you! Hope you're well!

My GP was a waste of time when it came to surgery :biggrin: (hence Self-Pay!) but I'm thinking of trying to change GPs. I just wondered if there is any specific criteria to meet? I'm currently a J Cup! Its never really bothered me before, but they are already round my waist without a bra, so god knows what state I'll be in later!! I don't seem to be losing the weight from up top at the moment, though.

One bit of good news is that I'm down 2 sizes in jeans! I ordered a pair of Next Jeans (Size 20) & they were TOO BIG!! :biggrin: Waheeey! Looks like I'll soon be shopping in normal shops, not just Evans, etc!!

Keep in touch!
