Surgery completed Oct 29th! Houston, TX

I have been big breasted since I was about 23. In the past 15 or so years it has gotten unbearable. Sleeping, eating, breathing, exercising, cleaning the house, you name it, everything has its limitations. I am currently bulging out of a 44H on my right and on my left not quite filling it out. That is uncomfortable all on its own.
My surgery date is october 29th 2013, I am excited and nervous as h3ll at the same time. I am not the most normal person going in for BR surgery. I have 90% of my lower spine fused so I am worried about them wallering me around on the bed during surgery, and how I sore I am going to be after all of that. Since normally when I get "sore" I can't move (honestly) for 3 days. Ya I'm pretty much a hot mess! LOL
Anyhow.... post op is the 22 ,...... I need to go get all my supplies for home so I can get out of be easier, since its not that easy now with my back, and other things that my husband wouldnt have a clue about if I sent him to the store. Lol
I plan on making homemade chicken noodle soup in the crockpot so when we get home he doesnt have to fuss over food, just me... ;)
Now the waiting game.
Good luck to everyone else in any stage of this process.

Wishing you all the best with your surgery and recovery! I am almost 3 weeks post op. There are good days, better days and not so good days. Just take it one day at a time. We nick-named the girls Frankin-boobies...that would be perfect since your surgery is so close to Halloween :). Gotta have a good sense of humor through all of this.
The one thing that has amazed me is from day one I have not had any pack, neck, or shoulder pain and not a single migraine (which I had daily). I think you will be very happy and relieved once you have your surgery!

Thank you, glad you are doing good. I hope you are having way more good days then bad right now. Wishing you the best.

I am glad you are here with us and looking forward to seeing you through. You will feel so much better once this is done. Those puppies will be lifted and perky in just a matter of days. Keep me up to date!
Here is a link to a list of my Favorite Things.

Congrats....... yes it does I have been getting things and prepping this week. Have a few more things to get. I think this is helping me stay calm, I'm pretty nervous about it. Trust me I'm excited also, its just nerves. What day is yours on?

10 days pre
Waiting patiently till the 29th! NOT!
Its 11 days till surgery day. I am still getting everything I need for home. Going shopping tomorrow for the last few items. Unless I forget something I will be done.
Still quite nervous about the surgery. Just wish the days would go by way faster. ;) Can't wait to get this over with and have frankenboobs for halloween.
Pre-op is the 22 and I see the ps on the 24th. I am sure once the 22nd hits it will go by real quickly. I have appts every other day. A waxing appt on the 26th. That way I dont have to worry about shaving and pricklies. This aught to be fun, since I have never been waxed down there before. O_o

You're all prepared my friend!!! Never thought to wax lol! It'll fly by once you have your appt, that's right around the corner on Tuesday! I can't wait for you to have yours!
October 20, 2013
I wouldnt say it is actually flying by. This is the longest month ever! Getting prepared, I'm finding out is expensive! Oh well, I have gotten sofa pillows to go under my arms when I sleep, that way I can use them for later. ;) Nothing like killing 2 birds with one stone!
October 20, 2013
You know what, you're right!! I said that to myself the other day! The year has been going by so fast but this month seems like it's going slow! But I think it'll go by once you have your appt because that'll literally be a week away
October 21, 2013
I think you're right. 2 more days till pre-op! So excited!
I've been keeping myself really busy this week. ;)
October 20, 2013
This I know for sure. You are going to be so happy!!

6 days pre
whew!!!!! 6 more days!
Had my pre-op yesterday. Hoping all the blood work and stuff comes back all okay. I cant believe its less than a week away now! Frankenboobs here I come! I told the lady at preop that and she started cracking up. I liked everyone at the hospital, they were all very nice and pleasant. Thats a very good sign so
far. I feel my nerves of steel coming on, kinda feel like wonder woman! I never thought I woild get this excited to lose my boobies! Ha!

I was about your cup size but a different shape. I am now a 38D and I am thrilled with my new breasts. I wish you the best of luck - I am sure you will feel amazing.
Wow, sounds like you are prepared...and chic noodle soup is such a good choice for comfort food. Be sure to check out the surgery calendar here. Since you've started your review, you'll be automatically added tomorrow am. There are a couple women who are also scheduled for their breast reduction the same week as you. Check them out and you girls can support each other through your journeys. So happy for you and hopefully you new found freedom by the end of the month! Thanks for sharing your story and keep us updated for sure! I'm looking for a checklist for you...and will post to your review when I find one.
