I've been considering a Breast Reduction for at least 15 years. I've always felt my breasts were too big for my frame. It is something I always wanted. I am a mother of three. A multiple birth and a singleton. With that, I had two c-sections. Planning tummy tuck as well. I'm am having mixed feelings. I had my pre admission tests done today, and will be meeting with the doctor tomorrow. I'm excited one minute and then I'm scared out of my mind the next. It's strange, because this is what I want. I really think having children is the part that scares me. I'm terrified of something happening to me and that I was selfish enough to have this surgery. These are the crazy thoughts I've been having. I'm just hoping I go through with it.

Hello! You are not crazy ... I was in the same position during Christmas... One moment I wAnted the surgery , the next day I had second thoughts.... I completely understand the "children" thing... I kept saying... " I'm not sick... Why am I going to go under for something that I really do not need?" It is a very emotional experience aswell, not just physical... Trust me you are not alone... But I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and am doing much better.... Just remember thus happens everyday and it is very safe with proper medical attention... You can do... You won't believe how it feels to have perky boobs!!! Good luck

Thanks Mommy Kit! I'm actually feeling better about the whole thing. I can't take my back issues much longer. I'd sooner do it now rather than years down the road when I'm hunched over from my boobs drooping to my knees. My friends just don't understand. I don't even bother trying to explain, and why should I have to That is why I reached out to RealSelf. I knew I'd find some support through others like yourself. So thanks for your kind, encouraging words. I really appreciate it a lot. I will be staying in the hospital overnight, so I feel I will be in good hands. Perky, "lighter" boobs....sounds wonderful! Good luck to you on your recovery...sounds like your doing fantastic :)

I get the friend thing... Everyone said " you look great... Blah blah...you really think you need it....that is part of being a mom....and so on..."but when I took off my bra and they drooped to my belly button...that was not fun! I stayed 1 night in the hospital too...best thing I ever did...I appreciated the help from my nurse...because they get you up that night and you need help. You won't believe it when you take off your bra and they don' t move! My husband is still in shock! Lol good luck! We are here for you!
