Breast Reduction: Stories

I have been reading the posts here for a few months. I have finally decided to go ahead with surgery after many years of debate. I was hoping someone could help me find a good surgeon in Montana. I have gotten a few recommendations and seen some before and after photos on their websites but I trust the real life experiences of the girls here and would love to know if anyone has a personal recommendation. I am 5'2 and around 150 lbs, I am currently a size 36DD and am spilling out of it. I have truly hated my breasts for as long as I can remember, the pain, attention (both negative and positive) and difficulty with the activities I love have all brought me to this decision but your stories have made it finally seem possible.

I had a mammogram this week and there was an area of slight density that they brought me back in for to do an ultrasound. I need to have another in 6months to just make sure it is normal for me, I hadn't had one before and they didn't have a baseline as I am 38. So I have to wait until then but in the meantime I hope one of you can help me narrow down the field here. I don't want to travel out of state due to the recovery period, but I want to have the best I can get. I have never had a surgical procedure and am very scared as it is still an elective procedure.

I want to thank you all for sharing and showing your photos, if you feel like me then I know how difficult it is to show people your breasts but it helps so much to see the results!
