Hello, I am 58 years old, 5'2 and I weigh 150lbs....
Hello,
I am 58 years old, 5'2 and I weigh 150lbs. My bra size is 38H. I have back problems with S1 and L4 and 5 disc issues . I also have small bulging disc on each side of my neck. I was overweight and lost 40 pounds and I was hoping that my breasts would get smaller. But they didn't. I should have done the surgery a long time ago but insurance was an issue. I just got approved and will have my surgery in March. I am extremely nervous but I can't take the pain anymore.
I am happy I found this site because I am learning such much from all these brave women.

Surgery Went well
I had my surgery on March 24th. It took about 4 hours. Brought me down to a size D cup but it will probably be C because of the swelling. I still have pain and I am feeling dizzy and not much energy. Taking my pain killers every four hours on the dot. I had to stop because it causes constipation. Started taking miralax and eating fruits. Hopefully it will work soon. My stomach is still bloated from all the fluids they gave me during surgery. I've been sleeping in my lounge chair because it's more comfortable getting up. My surgeon reiterated with me during the surgery that my heavy chest has pulled on my front part of the body, and that they were extremely heavy. He said he didn't know, how I did it for so long. Immediately after surgery I felt all the weight off my upper body. My surgeon didn't use any tubes or bandages . He used this special glue that heals faster and helps with the scarring. I am very happy with the results. I will say to all the ladies that are waiting, it's worth it all. I wish you the very best.
Update on surgery
Went to see my surgeon and he informed me that my left nipple is a little darker because the bra they gave me was a little too tight and circulation needs to occur. I will start using the other bra the hospital gave me. Suggested I do not buy bras until about six weeks so that the swelling can go down. He said no underwire till about 3 months. Hopefully no underwires ever again. No signs of infection, thank God. Still feeling tired and pain especially at night. Still using my pain meds and drinking prune juice. I weighed myself and I lost 7 pounds. I was so surprised. Haven't had much of an appetite lately. I am happy because I gained 10 pounds before the surgery because of the stress. Will keep you guys updated on my progress.
