WORTH IT
3 1/2 months:
It has been sometime since my last update but I have been keeping up with everyone's updates and it looks like everyone is doing great. So good for you all! :O)
I have a update on my right side nipple erect/inverted situation, well I found that if I made a point of flattening out my nipple inside the bra (I think it was getting smushed inside the bra) and I stopped wearing my bra 24/7 to give the skin time to relax.... Well to my relief over time it worked itself out... thank goodness.
I'm so happy I did this... I feel great .... I love them. :))))
And..... TADAH...I finally updated my photos.

Oh man Rosie. Look at the difference between these newest photos are your previous ones! Amazing...the fluffing! They look like God-given, perfect boobs! Your scars are all but gone too. I've become even more conscious on my load when running...just because I know it's being reduced! The PS even WARNED me that my center of balance might change and I should be careful when I first return to running. HA! That'd be a [RS bleep]! You mean, I might be able to run more upright?! Must admit though, I'm worried about being "down" for that long. Really worried. I NEED to run for stress and just general mental health. But, hey...it'll end.
So glad you're doing so well. Thanks for the new photos; something to aspire to once again!

Thanks a lot for sharing your story! I am scheduled for the surgery next month and my nerves are up and down especially with the date drawing near but your story gives me so much comfort although, I know that every ones story is and will be different!!! Thanks a lot and congrats with your health! I am a size 36H and due to stress I am now 205 lbs but I am usually 180 lbs so back pain has become a part of me and I am hoping that I am finally able to get some relief soon!!
July 12, 2012
Yay, Rosie! You look great. So glad you got your nipple problem worked out. How is life in the fast lane now that you aren't packing so much wind resistance?

Hi Iowa, Long time no write... So sorry I haven't written to you lately. I'm on vacation sailing the northern waters of Ontario. I'm on my cell phone and service is between 2-3 bars so I'll try to type quickly.
Weather is beautiful.. Sunny, temp is 30•c (28•f) ..hoping it stays this way.. Not looking forward to any bad weather ... I don't like being tossed around.. just a little unnerving when that happens.
The scenery is beautiful lots of rocks/trees ... Many small islands with cottages I would die to own... boy I need to win our lottery here in Ontario.... I think it's about 20 million this week.
I hope all is well with you and your family.
So how is your summer? Getting out in some HOT.... spaghetti strap number?? :))))) ...... I certainly hope so.
Take care of yourself. :o)

Doing great here, Rosie! Sounds like you are having a wonderful summer! What do you think of lying around in a sexy bikini? Sailing sounds like a little slice of heaven. That is something I've never done!
Summer has been excruciatingly hot here. A month of near 100 or higher and no rain. We are desperate for water around here. Thank goodness our farm no longer survives on a well!
I actually had bought a sundress not too long ago, and guess what...it was too big in the bust, so that has to go back and will definitely have to try one on the next time!
Hope you have an uneventful trip! So great to hear from you!

Hello! Funny about the sundress.. I guess we are so programmed to think BIG BOOBS that it's hard to think otherwise. It's certainly nice to from big to smaller for a change. :)))
We use to have a camper but sold that for a sail boat (sleeps 4 but more comfortable with just 2). My husband is the sailor... we just follow his commands. So when he calls out ...furl the jib.. or coming about...we ask what colour rope should we be pulling on?...is it the green one or is it the blue and white one??
We also haven't seen much rain around here either. Hopefully we all see rain soon. Our farmers are suffering here too this summer. Do you have a big farm?
What do you farm?
Well.. I better go it's lunch time and being the head chef on our vessel... duty calls. See ya...or should I say...write to ya.
Take care ... OX.

Our farm isn't huge. We have a 150+ acre farm of which 140 acres are farmed. We grow corn and soybeans here. We have a few livestock, animals but that is more for hobby and to stock our freezer. This will be a difficult year for the farmers, however the last several have produced bumper crops and I believe this is the cycle of things. And you should always be prepared for such an instance.
How long will you be on the high seas?

Hi Rosie, thanks for the response. I guess I've had too many bad experiences in the past and its hard for me to find a PS. I am afraid I will end up with deformed or uneven breasts.
June 6, 2012
As you know Rosie, this surgery has also changed my life. I just spent several days hiking, canoeing, riding crazy rollercoasters, and flying down water slides, and I had absolutely no pain(except the sunburn and my feet from wearing new shoes on what I believed to be a 5 mile trail, though the sign failed to mention that the trail was not a loop and you had to hike back 5 miles to get to the car!) It is amazing to walk around a water park and not once check to see if my breasts were coming out of my suit! I flew upside down in a rollercoaster that was doing corkscrews at the same time and my bra held my breasts in place! This truly is a life-changer! And I agree whole-heartedly...if you are on the fence, my advice is to GO FOR IT!

Hi Iowa, I'm glad to hear that you had a great vacation...pain free.... no poking and adjusting your boobs/bra...not having obstructions on your chest holding you back...no aches and pains w/back/shoulders... being able to wear a bathing suit with confidence at a water park of all places where there is no place to hide .... total freedom....I say Freedom!!!
So sorry for rambling on... I couldn't help myself.... I got so excited thinking about all the possiblities ... there's no holding us back now!
Look out world here we come! :OD

I get excited about all of the things I can do now too...I've come to the conclusion that the only thing more squealy than a teenage girl is a 40 year old woman who just found one more thing she can do now that she has the breasts of a teenage girl!
June 6, 2012

June 7, 2012
Hello Barbados,
Thank you, soon you will have the cutiest little boobies you ever saw too!! ;o) You are scheduled for June 29th, right?
Take care of yourself.

Rosie: Was just told yesterday that I can probably safely expect a D but no smaller; roughly 500g from each breast. Just came back to your photos, because now I'm revisiting all "after" photos. Gotta tell you....if I can look even CLOSE to what you look like in that tank, I'll be a very happy camper! Do you find yourself still D'ish? or do you feel as though you still may go down a cup size? Either way, you look textbook PERFECT!
June 7, 2012
Hello Piggle,
It pretty much looks like I'm a D but I was already expecting that according to what my PS.
I'm working on lossing some weight gained during the healing period but I'm not sure if that will effect my bra size once the weight is off (being not a major weight loss). We will see in a month or so. Being a D won't kill me in fact I was hoping for a very full C to a small D. It's funny I have been looking at the Breast Implant side of this site just out of curiosity sake and for the ones that I have read end up deciding on a D cup size..... go figure... so they are going for a size that some of us dread????

That damned grass....always greener elsewhere! But Rosie...if you're a D, I'm a happy camper! As you already know, I suffer from extreme boob envy and you and Kate are in my top 5, so if you're what a D can look like, BRING IT!
June 7, 2012
Thanks , you're so good for my ego. Just keep it coming ... I'll tell when to stop. :D
June 7, 2012
p.s., you didn't have side lipo, did you?
June 8, 2012
I replied on your review but not sure if you will see it. I'm not sure if you know but OHIP doesn't cover Lipo but I'm sure your PS would have told you, right? :o(
June 8, 2012
You're right...didn't see it, so thank you! And yes, that will be the most painful $2,500.00 I've ever spent :). And yes, he did mention it.....and I was also aware, but truly appreciate the heads up. (For that amount, he should be sucking fat out of a few more key areas.....)
June 8, 2012
May I ask what are the benefits to lipo verse no lipo? I never asked my PS this question. Maybe I was missing out on something?
June 8, 2012
No, you missed nothing. We've already established that you are now the owner if perfect boobs!
The Lipo is necessary (aesthetically) in my case because as the PS so charmingly put it, "the girth" of my boobs. A big footprint, as it were. So while he can reduce them to a great degree through surgery, the Lipo will help shape the final outcome. Otherwise, because my boobs are so GIRTHY (yuck/blick/ugh) I'd have some unwanted real estate under my arms.

81/2 weeks
The other day my husband came with me to the gym, he on the stationary and me on the treadmill. After our workout he had commented how differently I'm running now. I know I feel different since my BR but I had no idea that other people could see that I was carrying myself differently too. He said that my running has a more fluid, relaxed movement to my upper body. He went on to explain that I would run like I was holding myself back as too minimize bounce, and he also said that I would tend to lean forward ..I would say that was too counterbalance myself because I was so top heavy.
Who knew that my running would change so much? .. just by changing one thing about myself...that's so crazy??!!
It's incredible how our bodies are designed to compensate for weight that is there... or that isn't there without us even being aware of it until there is a change to it.
So anyone who is reading this who is on the fence.... has doubts.... fears.. about having a breast reduction then I would say to you that only good things can come of it and I'm living proof of it. It will not only change you physically but it will also change how you feel about yourself. Can you imagine how thrilling and rewarding it would be if you were to take up running for the first time, or any kind of physical activity you enjoy because you are finally free of all that weight you've been carrying around all your life.
I wish you all the best for those who are healing.. and for those who are still waiting for their turn... and most of all those who are still on the fence. :o)

Have a great summer! :))))
