I have been considering my options for almost a year now. I've tried the minimizing bras and I fall out of them. I'm 5'9" and 217 lbs and 27 years old I want to workout to lose weight but its hard to when you have 36 DDD, hell it's hard to go horse back riding too. Right now I'm waiting on my pre-op stuff and my surgery is like a week and half away I have my doubts about every other day but last night i found this website and yall have helped me alot. But I do have one question my main concern is will I lose feeling in my nipples? But so far I'm just excited and scared but the ladies on here have given me hope for a good recovery.

Well I got my markings today lol. Thanks to my fiance Mongo there was not a dull moment. He found the remote to the chair it went up and down the feet part moved and it could lay back and sit up, that's when he said he was helping me do sit ups. Then he tells my Dr. that he's going to draw smiley faces on my boobies for her lol. It has been a hellava day.

Great review?

My Doctor: Kerri M Woodberry

My primary care provider referred her to me and I googled her. (gotta love google) I finally got the courage to ask my primary care provider if I was eligible to get the surgery and she said my insurance would cover it so I asked her to refer me to someone and she set me up with Dr. Woodberry in murfreesboro, TN and she's great. She has answered my questions when I think of them lol and her staff is very nice and helpful.

So glad you joined us:)    

The fear is normal but you will be fine.  Just take this a day at a time and remind yourself how much better you will feel after the reduction.  I did not have any problems with loss of nipple sensation.  If anything mine were hyper sensitive for a ling time.  While it can be one of the side effects of surgery don't let this scare you away.

Please let us know how you are doing as you go through recovery.  

Here is a link to some great information on Nipple Sensation + Breast Reduction from our Q&A section.
