Nervous but Not Backing Down I Need to Get This off my Chest! - Carmel, IN

I'm a 40 yr old single mom of one that has known I needed a reduction since I was about 25. I've always been large busted since I was 12 but after having my son at 22 they really got GINORMOUS. I'm currently a 42GG (J cup in US size) and my surgeon said I would likely go down to DD or D which is perfectly fine. I just want to go into a store, any store and buy a bra without having to wait for an online sale ($50 instead of $75+) of the dozen or so bras that come in my size and pay for shipping on top of that.

I also have scoliosis which is a curvature of the spine-50 degree curve at the top and 39 degree curve toward the bottom so my spine x-ray looks like an S. Between the curvy spine and weight of my very dense, heavy breasts it's a wonder I've been able to stand upright this long! I can't take it anymore, I'm tired and in pain all the time, have been in physical therapy for back pain but my breasts get it the way of most exercises. I'm uncomfortable going to a gym because there are no sports bras that completely support me. Overall I'm just ready to get this done. I'm nervous but my PS came highly recommended and I've seen her work so I have faith I'm in good hands.

I'm an introvert and wasn't going to post anything even though I've been religiously reading these reviews for weeks now. I've decided that it wasn't fair for me to benefit from all of the insight I've gained without sharing my story too. I only have two more days until the big change! Hopefully work, errands, and house cleaning will keep me occupied so I'm not completely freaking out. I promise to add photos soon ladies!

I'm nervous, super tired from stress and probably should not have worked a full day. I have a tendency to internalize stress so my body is shutting down. I'm ready to get to the other side and post recovery pics!

Happy to report all went well yesterday. It took about 3.5 hours, and Dr. Grasse removed a total of 3.5 lbs. My right is bigger than left but hopefully that's just swelling. I think the Dr will make rounds around 8 am. She left drains in but the nurse is going to pull them out in a few minutes. I feel much better than I thought I would so soon afterwards. Be back soon!
