I am healing really well after my boob op and the scar tissue is fading to a nice shade of pink.
I went to La Senza today for a bra measuring; I have noticed that as my boobs have got bigger that a correct bra size for support is even more important.
Well from a 36AA cup when I first started hormones, I am now a 36FF or 36F depending on what style of bra I want to wear.
I have not regretted my operation at all I feel so happy with my new body, and have included some before and after photos (not the best as they were self taken photos).
I also saw a job for 12 hours a week going in the La Senza shop, I can’t go for it at the moment as I want to get my gender recognition Certificate after my SRS and with Dr Suporns letter I will have all my paperwork for it. But it got me thinking to update my C.V so I can look for some part time work in the spring 2011
More Operations.
Yes even more and on the NHS this time, I am pleased in how my voice has come along in pitch and range over the last four years and I am lucky that I don’t have a prominent Adams apples, but still I am a fussy cow and have been on the list for a Trachea shave and also to have my vocal cords changed and I had a appointment to see a consultant.
I also saw the speech therapist and she is very happy in how my voice has come along and she wants me to have some more voice sessions and then is happy for me to have both operations.
With Christmas not far of, I will then be thinking of Thailand and it can’t come quick enough, I want to get on with my life and can only do this once I am complete.
Overall inside I feel ok, I finally feel that I have healed after my chemotherapy, I do feel lonely and down at times and do hope I can make some more lasting friendships (Pauline aside).
I feel like a whole new adventure is going to open up for me in 2011

Always nice to see a post from Lucy.
Are you not now going to find it difficult to talk to people with them not looking at your face but down at your fancy new bras?
If a fun person like you is not making friends, what hope for the rest of us?
January fast approaching!

Before pics.........very nice! After pics............just lovely! The countdown is ticking away faster and faster, Lucy. Before you know it, you will be sending us all greetings from Thailand!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! I already know your New Year is going to be a happy one!

How can someone who looks like me offer congratulations on a post like this without sounding ever so slightly indecent? :)
It's good to see that the BA had a successful outcome though.
Caroline
Thank you for your kind comments and as you can see I will be ready for the beach next year!
I find it so funny when men keep trying to look at my face, im a attention whore lol
Melissa, thank you for your kind words as usual, and from Saturday only 6 weeks to I fly over to Thailand.
Jenny its ok lol ;)
I don't see how you would ever regret having the boob op.You must be really please with the result. I think realistically it is something I will choose to have when the time comes.
I always find bra fitting to be a science in itself. You can go from one place to the next and be told two very different sizes.
What kind of job do you think you will go for once you have made a full recovery?
I don't think you have a prominent adams apple either, but just like you I want it shaved too. My speech therapist told me mine was not prominent but I think it sticks out a mile. How many sessions of therapy did you have?
Here's to long lasting friendships.
Happy adventuring in 2011!
