Well where do I start. Ok Im 42yrs old, married ,mom of 5, & gramma to 2. I think Im about a 42GG .Spilling out of anything I buy ...just sort of stuffing and pushing into bras. I have wanted to have this surgery since I was about 27 (which is the age I had my 3rd son and my boobies turned into torpedos) . I have 4 wonderful boys (ages from 15-22 yrs old) & a beautiful daughter 11yrs old. My husband is my best friend and totally supports me in my decision !!! I have been suffering with migraines for about 17 yrs and complete back and neck pain for as long as I can remember. I have for the last 3 years getting injections and RAF shots in my back to help with pain. I have been big chested all my life. In the 7th grade my mom bought me a padded bra ...I had nothing but I had to cover up the lil' buttons that were evident under my shirts. My 8th grade summer I think I was the most popular in my neighborhood...at the time I LOVED IT!!! My lil nubbies blossomed into big size 34 Ds. Wholly Toledo !!! I did play softball and cheer in high school but it was under some heavy duty bras. My porch had a lot of boy visitors from that time on. Other girls didn't like it and of course they all said I was a [RS bleep]. Why do people think that because you have big knockers that you must be easy? I hated it ...the names ,the looks ,and having to wear the big shirts so I wasn't dressing inappropriate. Sweatshirts were my best friend and people thought I was crazy for always being too covered up. For a long time I wasn't sure if any knew there was a face to look at above the boobs...there was I swear. Since forever I have been known as "you know the one with the big boobs". What a way to be known... but I survived. Ok now I am 42 and have these things on my body that I hate !!!! I see this awesome PS and am amazed he took 2 hrs with me at my consult...says I am good to go. Got my Ok from insurance company they say what was very evident I HAVE BIG BOOBIES. Now here I am 20 days until surgery 6 until Pre-Op appt. I have drove my husband CRaZy!! Shown him so many pics of before & after pics...he said he's not sure if likes boobies anymore! I am obsessing...I know I am. I am getting the Anchor Incision and PS said something at consult about removing 750 on right and 450 on left. Never knew how lopsided I was...I NEVER LOOK !!!!! SERIOUSLY....he took the pics & measurements and told me to look ....ummmmm YUCKY !!!!!!!! Here are some pics...told ya' YUCK !!! Im just so excited.....talk to you soon

I cant wait to hear how you go, I understand fully how you are feeling, unfortunately i have to wait for the end of the year to have my surgery. My husband is the same, he thinks Im obsessing and is sick of looking at pre and post surgery pictures and stories with me so now I do it by myself.

I look by myself too....I feel if I make him look at anymore pics of boobies he's not going to look at mine when they are finished!! Its hard once you make the decision to do this not to obsess about it . This is going to change our lives and our shirt sizes forever. I'm here to obsess with

Ok we have survived the big storm we just had. Kids have been off school the last few days so instead of pulling all my hair out, we ventured to the mall. Kids off to Hollister, me to Dillard's.Got measured while I was there, I swear I almost passed out. Of course the woman who did it is straight out of the Victoria Secrets mag ...perfect body, cute, and tan. In walks big mama, with sweats, see through because I'm so pale and should've had a bone in my hair because of the Pebbles ponytail I have piled on my head. Well we do the measuring and she says " Ummmm, looks like you are a 42 I " Hold on, did she say I .?? An I ???? I think I may have blacked out...because she said " Ma'am, would like me to see if we have any styles?" Ummmmmm.......NO!! I don't want to be an I....I wanted to be the DDD I was squeezing myself into. I thought that was bad!!! I for insane, I for impossible, I for I seriously can't believe its even possible. I put on my "tent" of a shirt and walk out ...pouting!!! I guess I shouldn't be surprised they do look like fried eggs. I can't wait 19 days and I might just be in a beginning of the alphabet letter bra. I can't wait

love your review, and so understand your difficult relationship with your breasts. i had my second reduction 2 weeks ago and am doing great. my husband has been very patient with my obsessing and has looked after me so well post op.

I was a 38/40 I before my reduction - of course they don't make too many I's and I used to squeeze myself into H cups. I hated having what my mom called "matronly" boobs. I am so happy that I had mine reduced - they aren't perfect but they are a weight off my shoulders and I love that they are perky. Good luck with your surgery.

OK we are total Gleeks here at my house. We have Netflix just because they carry Glee. Since we got a foot of snow this week, my daughter and I have started watching Glee from season 1 from morning to night! As I am writing this Journey is singing in the background. So one day my daughter said, "Mom, is that how you feel? Like an outcast? Like you are not noticed?" WOW is this my daughter? My 11 yr old ??? She must have gotten all of her in depth intelligence from her mother. She continues, "You know Mom like the kids in Glee....where you wanna be like all the others but you can't because you are just different. I'm not saying its just the same but in a way it is." Is it just the same, well maybe. Not sure if I want to be like every else.but I do want to be the " normal" I'd like to be able to wear normal size clothes, shop in normal shops, and have a normal nickname. Am I a closet Glee kid? Am I still the kid who was still embarrassed by the looks, stares and names girls called me in high school? Have I never out grown the self esteem problems I had back then?
My little girl has struck a cord. My Lil Gleek might have seen something I've been hiding for years. Wow....you can learn a lot from the mouth of babes!

I really have enjoyed reading your posts. I understand completely the hiding under big old sweatshirts and big standing up straight because it 1) hurts and 2) I didn't want to draw attention to my uk sized 34gg/f boobies. My mom who was a b cup was always getting after me about big standing up straight. Hopefully now with 1 lb gone from each breast I might actually be able to improve my posture! :) surgery was on Thurs so I'm / days post op. Getting better every day. Wishing you all the best! I can totally relate to the glee post! Let us know how you are doing.
