I finally bit the bullet and had surgery on 15 February. I am 5ft 5inches tall 140 pounds and have gone from a UK 34G to approx UK 34D. Despite them looking like party hats at the moment because of swelling I no longer look like a serving wench but a normal proportioned woman.
There has been very little pain but I didn't anticipate how much the surgery and anaesthetic would knock me out. I am very pleased with the more youthful appearance and light weight. My husband's first word (who thought the procedure was completely unnecessary) was "phwooor" .
My PS was great and thorough and gave me realistic expectations. I asked him to just cut the damn things off and although I was concerned that he wouldn't make me small enough I trusted his judgement and am glad I did.
Updated on 28 Feb 2011:
Hi two weeks in and had steri strips and dressings removed today. What tiny nipples I have! But oh so sensitive. I had a little moment yesterday when I felt they were still a little too large but when i walked into The PS consulting room and saw a couple of zepplins on the screen that were allegedly mine 2 weeks ago I realised that i was being a bit silly (blame the meds). Also PS explained that bruising and swelling will take up to 3 months to go. Im sure that I'm not alone when I say that the things that repulsed me the most and that would reduce me to tears are now my best asset. I'm tempted to do the school run in a bikini despite it being -1.

Congrats on your surgery! It sounds like you've managed to keep your sense of humour through the recovery process too. :) Please keep us posted as you continue to heal.
Congratulations!!! Welcome to the perky boob club:)
LOL Your membership packet is in the mail. :)
The breast reduction is what got me going on the weight loss. That was the start of it all for me. Before my reduction I was not able to exercise without wearing two sport bras. I bounced all over the gym and it hurt and made me really embarrassed.
Once the breasts were off my waist and my back, neck, and shoulder pain were gone I was totally motivated.
After that I dropped the 70 pounds and then had to clean up the mess...LOL Good lord what next:)
