WORTH IT
I've wanted a reduction for a long time. From the time I started developing they've never stopped growing. Currently Im a 38h and constantly having back, neck, and shoulder pain. So at this point it's a must in order to get my life back. I'm tired of not being able to be active because of the pain! I'm very excited for a whole new lifestyle....this is my journey! I've already been to my consultation and now I'm just waiting to be scheduled!!!! Yay

Oh my I'm so scared now, just found a website by women who've experienced necrosis, lost their nipples and sometimes entire breasts and I just can't help but think, is it worth it??? I know there are many reasons necrosis can happen but it seems as though women who've had a reduction have the biggest risk :(

Congratulations, LuvBug! I know exactly how you feel - I am waiting for my date to come as well (Sept 4th) and I'm thrilled at what is to come. My boyfriend and I went to an amusement park yesterday and all I could think on every ride was "wow, next time I am not going to have this shoulder harness digging into The Girls!!" They affect so many aspects of our lives that it is hard to imagine the relief that will very shortly be coming!

They really do affect us in every imaginable way, I was actually thinking the same thing yesterday because I'm going to an amusement park next weekend! Sept 4 is my preop but i will be thinking of you! Congrats n good luck

Having my preop on sept 4 not sure what to expect, and I got my fmla paperwork filled out and 2 weeks vacation requested! Does anybody know if that's enough time?

What type of work do you do? You still won't be ready to do any lifting, but if you do desk work you should be able to manage that.
FYI: I went to an amuzement park and water park this summer and it was the best time I've had at either since I was a kid. Didn't have to worry about my chest at all!

I have a desk job, guess I'll just wait and see but hopefully I'll be ready I pray for quick healing!

You will probably tire more easily, but day by day your stamina will improve. I was back to work a couple of weeks post-op. I'm a nurse in a clinic, and while I had to modify or limit some of my normal tasks, for the most part I was able to complete my job, though maybe not as quickly as I had previously. I would say I was back to full speed two weeks in, though it was about a week longer before I was doing heavy lifting and things like taking x-rays because moving that x-ray tube is so heavy.

It is scary to think about the necrosis. I would certainly look into underlying factors as to what may have contributed to the problems that some of these ladies experienced. Were they smokers? Diabetic? Have problems while in surgery? Have an extreme amount of tissue removed? There can be a variety of contributing factors. But we all know there certainly is a risk of complications. Wishing you all to the best!
Welcome, LuvBug! Do you have to await insurance approval?
Awesome! That will be here before you know it!!
