I'm 22 years old and having my breast reduction in 2 weeks! When I was 13 my breasts grew fast and since then have been heavy and saggy. I've had constant back pain for 6 years. I was at 213 at my heaviest but in the last 3 months lost 30 pounds and am not planning on stopping, but my breasts are keeping me from running and doing exercises that my chest interferes with. So I'm hoping to continue after surgery. I'm just nervous that they will become saggy again after losing more weight..
