WORTH IT

I am 5ft, 150 lbs and experience constant neck and back pain and headaches. I play competitive tennis and am active in general. I have 2 teen-aged boys and as they have gotten a little older I finally realized I needed to do this for myself. I am 2 days post-op. I have more discomfort than actual pain. My breasts look flat and nipples discolored-dark red but I was told this is normal -- more to come

Welcome to RealSelf LK! We sound pretty close to the same size...though I'm certainly not athletic :-) so your 150 is probably a lot firmer than mine :-) I'm also 5 foot and am 40 years old. I had my breast reduction 5 months ago. I started at a 34H and am currently about 34DD.
What was your starting size? How are you feeling? Did you notice a difference already?
Good luck with your healing. Get plenty of rest and let those boys take care of you. I have 3 boys at home and while they didn't want to even think about what I had done they were great!
Keep us posted!
