fitNess_92 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi everyone, new to the forum but I've been reading up over the past couple of months. I'm booked in for a consult with Dr Miroshnik next week & I think I'd prefer it if my partner didn't come to the consultation just because this surgery is for me & I want to be comfortable with the surgeon & be able to ask any questions. I have my pre op appointment 2 weeks later which I'm happy for him to come to as well as the surgery. does anyone find this weird? Did your partner come to the appointments in the lead up? Was it better or worse having them there? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakegirl21 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 My partner didn't come to any of my appointments, he wasn't particularly interested to be honest lol he didn't want me to get them done so I doubt he would have been of any help! does your partner want to go? I think it could be helpful to get someone else's opinion but just remember at the end of the day it's your decision and you have to do what feels right for you! Good luck!

Suzie 8f Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 No its not weird and I would have found it weirder having mine there watching a man grope me for money ? no offence to anyone but that's how we roll. I didn't have him come to any pregnancy appointments for my 2 children either only my ultrasounds, we own 2 very busy businesses and his down time is far to important so I prefer him at work, we are a super close couple and do everything together normally but a few things I'm fine without him Bonny6 and Abevemi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelGC Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 My hubby didnt come to either of my appointments. I didnt want to be swayed by his reactions, comments or thoughts. I wanted to make my decision and go home and tell him what was best for me. I wanted to take in what my PS said entirely. Not weird at all.

Kaleidoscope_Eyes Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 My partner didn't come to any of my appointments. I actually wanted him to come with me to give me his opinion on size. After having my first consult though, I realised it was something I would've preferred to do alone anyway!

ree11 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 My hubby didn't come either, couldn't work it logistically with kids etc and it was better that way anyway. Much more fun with Dr M grabbing your boobs without hubby there!! Lol. tilly17 and Honeycakes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abevemi Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Mine didnt come to any of mine either - he did drive me to my first post op appointments though, but that was simply because I couldn't drive myself. He waited in the waiting room for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeycakes Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I had my consult with dr M without my husband. That is because I flew to Sydney for the consult and husband stayed home with the kids. I kinda wish he had been there for support but it was completely fine without him.

ayesha79 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 My husband came with me to all my appointments. Also looked after me after the operation. He had no imput what so ever while I was deciding what implants though. He just watched and listened for me in case I missed something for afterwards. He loved my deflated little boobies before my BA amd still loves them now. I hated my deflated little boobies and needed this for myself. So glad I did the BA and had my husband for support.

Minnie Mouse Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I didn't have my hubby come to previous consults but once I made a decision on mu surgeon I took him along only for support though . I made it clear to him I wanted moral support and guidance but basically don't give me too much advice . If I want your opinion I'll ask for it , but otherwise just sit there , smile and nod . To be honest he was just a back up . I gave him my list of questions and told him to jump on in if I'd forgot t ask anything . He was great . Do what you feel comfortable with and right for you . At the end of the day your BA is to please you no one else . Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink butterfly Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 My hubby was not able to come to the appointments/consults due to work commitments. But a close friend of mine came along. She was very helpful in asking a few questions I had forgotten to ask the surgeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonny6 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm not taking mine to my pre-op apt 2wks before but he is taking me for the surgery and probably my post-op due to me not being able to drive. Don't think its weird at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
