Breast Reduction: Stories

I had my reduction done on June 5, 2012. Just a month beyond day of surgery. My dr. said I was a 36DD, but those bras were too small. I was measured at a 36DDD/DDDD. I think I was on the larger side. I am now a small 36C : ) So happy. I was that size before my 2 girls. I also got larger after my hysterectomy and removal of both overies due to severe endometiosis. I have a very physical job working for UPS which I think also contributed to my problems. Even though I work part-time there I am so grateful for the great insurance which paid for almost all of the surgery! It took a little longer for them to pay the PS because he didn't take the 550-800cc that they approved. He did remove 500 and 515cc from my breasts!!!! I feel so much lighter and I'm excited about buying clothes that fit my body and not my boobs. I am also in the process of loosing more weight. Before I got approval I weighed 195lbs, now I am down to 175 lbs! I am trying to lose another 15 lbs to be around a good weight for my 5'5" muscular frame. The muscle comes from lifting boxes everyday. I also am working on getting my associates degree to be a paralegal. This fall I am going to do my externship and graduate in December! I wanted to have the BR before then so that potential employers would see me and not my boobs. Already I feel more confident and am willing to wear clothes which are stylish and current.
A few more facts about my is that I am 41yrs old, and have two teenage daughters. I live on a farm with my husband and girls, so we are very active in our lives at home also.
