Happy Monday pretty ladies! :)
Mentally and physically, I am so tired of having these 36DD girls hanging on my chest....To be honest, I know they are larger than that size, but I refused to ever step foot in a bra fitting after VS told me I had double d's back when I was 17. So for now, I have exactly 7 bras. Why? because only 7 brands in the world agreed with me that I was not larger than a 36DD haha....aghh I know....Denial. They are probably F's. -_-
I am 22 years old but have known, with the help from friends, boys and family, that my boobs were larger than most. Being known as the "tall blonde with large boobs" was always fun....said no one ever. Haha, I am not one to flaunt them, push them up or to brag about them, i personally find them extremely dissatisfying, unattractive and very painful. I'm an athlete, played two college sports and ladies, I can't remember the last time I wore just one sports bra at a time. It was so embarrassing playing in basketball games with my boobs slamming up and down with every step I took while I ran up and down the court. The ball is supposed to be the only thing to bounce, not your girls.
I will post pictures a little later so you can see what I am referring to. I have read what feels like hundreds of profiles and stories about others' similar problems and feel that many of you had/have it much worse than me, but there hasn't been a single "after picture" here that I haven't liked. You all look gorgeous and I can only pray that I look as great as you all!
My girls could be worse. However, I am a tall (5'10") athlete. . . No, not a twig...I like to eat, but I'm thin. ...My boobs just add so much extra weight. They aren't like some that I have seen, with large full and heavy breasts...they are more so long and sag and ......come onnnnn, did I just say sag?? ....It's the truth. I am not supposed to use that word to describe my breasts at 22, but it's true. Plus, they are not perky, my nipples face the floor, my left breast is definitely larger than my right and I have cysts on the sides that just won't go away because of the size. My posture?...Horrible.
So here I am ladies. Luckily I have a boyfriend who is beyond supportive. (Army men ladies....let me tell ya....gentleman) ;)
He loves my boobs now and yes, I can see some disappointment when I mention they'll be smaller, but he keeps crackin jokes to take my mind off the surgery aspect and loves to use the word "perky" to describe the future me. In all serious though, he tells me constantly that he fell in love with me before he even knew about the large boobs hiding underneath all the clothing. SO I am beyond thrilled knowing I have the love and support to get this operation.
Wow...Can you tell I love to write? So sorry....Let's get to the basics.... My surgery is May 29th....Just 10 days left!!!!!!!! :) Much love, you all have seriously already helped so much with sharing your stories. I'll be sure to post so much more as we get closer!!!! And pics to come like I promised of course ;)
I'd love words of wisdom and advice!!!

Need some advice from the post op ladies :)
danielle21May 21, 2014
Hey hey pretty ladies:)
I am now 9 days (not even) away from the big day and the more I lay in bed thinking about it, the more it is starting to set in. Yes, of course I'm nervous, but I know God has given me enough strength to get through it...
I guess my main question now goes out to the ladies who are on the other end of the surgery...What were your biggest fears before the surgery, that you wish you hadn't stressed out so much about before? Any good advice to prepare? I don't want to say my PS is not informative, but the last time I saw her was almost 4 months ago.... The next time I'll see her will be op day! So I want to be prepared....
Ps, as a side note... The pics I've been seeing on all profiles have been amazing so far... I just hope my body looks the same because it's hard to imagine mine because I am on the taller scale of almost 6'! Any tall ladies like myself out there who have had the procedure?? haha:P
Good luck to the girls going in tomorrow and thank you to the ones who can reply

Congrats on your upcoming surgery!! I'm 3 months post op and so happy. I didn't Strauss much up front but did a lot after surgery. Once things started healing I felt my head coming around too. The best advice I can give you is be kind to yourself. At 22 that may not sink in yet but it's so important in your recovery! I've seen a few reviews where people resume normalcy too quickly because they feel good or are pressured by responsibilities and end up with some nasty complications. Take super good care if yourself! It's going to be so awesome once you realize you don't even think about your boobs any more!

Thanks so much for the advice :) I will definitely keep that in mind! Honestly, I don't see myself wanting to look down at my boobs for a good month after the surgery, I am way too nervous and hate seeing any sort of blood haha...such a wimp. But after seeing everyone's one month post op pics, I figured I should wait until then to really start to observe and critique...even then....I know to wait until about 3 months out! Thanks for the advice again, so sweet of you to comment and I greatly appreciate it!

Hi danielle, my surgery is also May 29th. I just had my pre-op yesterday and will post my story and photos soon. I'm about 5'9" and 150lbs. Which is 10 lbs overweight. I'm posting on the May 2014 forum mostly, but if just found your story. I look forward to seeing how you like your results :)
May 21, 2014
Hi! Thank you:) But first off, how is 150 overweight for 5'9"? That sounds like a normal and healthy weight to me! haha
I'm glad I'm not the only one going under on the 29th. I would definitely like to hear back from you as well! I'll keep sending good thoughts and prayers your way for a fast recovery

Trying to take my mind off the negatives
danielle21May 28, 2014
Hey ladies, apologies for the lack in participation these last few days. . . my boyfriend flew up to see me, take my mind away from all the stress of having surgery...and it worked. He's amazing. But now that he is gone, I am stuck alone overthinking everything.
So here I am once again looking for more words of wisdom and distracting myself on my own. This might be an impossible answer to get out of anyone, but my boyfriend just asked me to fly across the country to see him for a wedding just 4 weeks after my operation....What do you girls think? Were you post op ladies in lots of pain still at this time? Yes, I'd be flying alone, but I'd have someone assist with the bags going into the airport, then he'd assist with them when I arrived there with him. . . I just don't want to show up and be completely drained and feel like I'm dragging him down too....No physical activities would really occur besides some sight seeing....mostly relaxing by the sounds of it...but what do you guys think? Go? Stay? Haha, he knows he is not allowed to sneak a peak until the scarring has gone down, and he constantly tells me I'm beautiful no matter what....and will still have a butt ...sooo.... haha ok ok, TMI, so sorry. He just gets me to laugh when I try bringing up the what ifs on long car rides or over the phone about this surgery....I guess I'll keep this one around :P
Update on the surgery itself though....the hospital is 2 hours away ...I still have yet to hear what time my surgery is even at which is driving me mad....my mom (a saint) is staying with me for two weeks before I return to work (desk job...nothing exciting haha) and we definitely booked a hotel for the night of surgery. There is no way I am getting back in a car for two hours just to show back up the next day to have my drains removed at 11am. As far as I know, I am still aiming for a full B/very small C...my surgeon is 8 months pregnant which might sound like a pointless fact, but aghhhh the words early labor come to my head when I think of those what ifs lol...Placing it all in God's hands, I know I'll be fine and she'll be great as well....(she definitely comes off as a perfectionist....so I have no doubts about her)
At this point, I'm just rambling on....but I hope all of you post ops are healing great and you pre ladies like myself, are not freaking out and overthinking everything as well!!! :P
Much love
