WORTH IT
So I'm 11 days post op and the incisions made under the breast to the sides are driving me bonkers lol. I accidentally caught myself sleeping on my tummy 2 times. No damage but surely uncomfortable lol. What's up with the tightness that comes after a meal? Is anyone else experiencing that or just me? My body is completely different now too. I love it. I don't feel horribly proportioned or imbalanced anymore. I'm excited to begin working out once the healing/swelling subsides. I thought I would share some post op photos too. Thanks to everyone for support. Especially Ms. Sassycharly (?), you've been so encouraging to every gal on this site and its a blessing to know you. **Hugs*** Just thought you really deserve a shout out :-) Much love everyone and happpppppy healing :-)

Whewwww ok...where do I start? LoL! I'm officially on the OTHER SIDE! Wooohoooo! November 8th @ 10:30am was my big day. I've been so tired these past few days that I have not felt like posting a thing LoL! I did miss you wonderful ladies and thought about you daily. I've finally seen my boobs and they're going to have to take some getting used to. I had 6pds removed. Three pds from each breast. I still have my drains in and will have them removed tomorrow. I have the greatest PS ever! She's so sweet, talented and professional. I had a great experience with her. It's been. Week for me, so ill post more pictures and update you as I go along :-) Much love

Hi,
I had my surgery the same day as you! Isn't it just awesome! I love my new little girls, went from a 40D/DD to a 36 B (at least that is what the compression bra is that my PS provided) Wait until you get the drains out! My healing feels like it progressed 10 fold after my drains came out on Tuesday!
Enjoy your new girls....I am!

Hi Collette! YES it is awesome! My drains were taken out 8 days after surgery (Friday). I'm glad that I waited. This is truly a great feeling:-) spring is just around the corner in a few months and were going to be ready :-)

Hey Girl,
Did you notice a quicker feeling of healing over the weekend...I saw my PS today and his comment was...Wow, it looks like we did implants! I am so very happy with my new little girls! I was driving home today and though OMG I did it and just smiled!!!
Keep me posted on your progress!

My big day is November 30. I' m stilling having nervous feelings. But reading all these stories is definitely a big help.
November 20, 2012
Hey Girly! I was nervous too but it was like the minute I went to sleep, I woke up and it was over. The anesthesia seems like it takes so long to pass from my body because I still feel tired. Like being reset lol! After the first week you begin feeling better :-)

wow u will so feel a difference after u had the surgery!
November 19, 2012
Sassycharlie!!! You are right girl! I feel so different and so much better after everything! The first week was the hardest, but it gets easier as time progresses. You are an awesome gal and your encouragement all over the breast reduction section has been a blessing. Thanks so much!

I was shocked to find out my size too- 38J or 42DDD depending on. Always shoved'em into whatever fit well enough.I was not the one to spend$50+ on bras, so I just went with whatever was economical and fit halfway decent. Was a nice swollen D after surg. Now after 3 1/2 weeks post op I am definitely a C. Still dealing with the change in body image, but love the way the new bubbies look!
November 1, 2012
It will be a start of a new journey. You will love it!!! I had my surgery yesterday and I'm in love already!!
November 19, 2012
Yay! I'm happy for you Girly and you're right! I do love it. This was the best decision I've ever made :-) how are you coming along Hun?
November 1, 2012
I will have my surgery a few days before you as I go on Nov 2 but we can heal and enjoy the new boobs together! I am so excited for my big chop I am sure you are too!
Keep on posting your journey!
November 19, 2012
Hey Girly! How are you doing on the Post Op side of things? I know you're feeling a lot better :-)
November 19, 2012
I am feeling amazing! I was looking at the girls this morning and the incision lines are so pale, no redness honestly quick glance you can barely tell they were cut and ripped apart! LOL
