“Can't Wait for Relief - Pensacola, FL”

Hi everyone. I have been checking out this site since I made the move to have my BR. I have had big breast for as long as I can remember. In fact I started developing at an early age and never remember wearing a training bra. Went from nothing to a B cup over night. Pretty stressful for an 8 year old.

Now after 2 babies I am now a 36F or G. Not sure which been too afraid to find out for sure,lol. Have wanted this for so long, but it took a separation from my husband and being on my own to finally take that step to do something for me. My surgery is scheduled for February 14, Happy Valentines day to me. Anyway I will keep posted.

Well I have my pre-op tomorrow and I'm so wired I can't seem to get myself to bed. I know I need to, because I have a full day ahead of me. I have to do blood test and EKG and go over what to expect on the 14.

I haven't done the bra shopping thing but I have been looking since my PS said he would probably take me to a D cup,but I would love to be a full C. So I keep looking at every D cup bra I see just to orientate myself with just what size that will be. It really doesn't look that big, but I do remember when I was a C cup and was ok with that size,but anything will be an improvement over what I am now just so I can get the relief I so desperately want.

So I'm going to bed to try and get some rest. Wish me luck.

had my pre-op visit and it went so smooth. I realized I didn't have as many questions to ask as I thought and the ones I had were answered before I asked. Ten more days as of today. Can't wait!!!

Well guys here I am 1 day post op and so very very happy. I keep looking at them because I don't remember when I was this size. I'm loving it!!!!!
I arrived at the ambulatory center at %:30am and the ball started rolling very quickly from there. Everyone was so professional and caring and not once did I get nervous. Just excited.
Everything went smoothly until it was time to send me home. I stopped drinking on the 13th about 9:00pm and they made me use the bathroom before the procedure so when the time came around to use it then, let's just say there wasn't much to release. Took another 2 hours just to go potty,lol.
Anyway I'm home now and recuperating. I think I may have pulled a little something trying to close down the top to my water bottle of all things, go figure. I have my post op on friday to remove the drains then it's onward and upward. Me and my perky C's.

Well I'm a couple hours from my first post opp and getting these drains removed. I was told to take a deep breath when they were being taken out(thanks Ariel) so I'm preparing myself for that. One more step closer to feeling better and fully enjoying the new me.

well I've almost reached 2 weeks post op. I've been feeling those electrical shocks in my breast the past couple of days. They are definitely uncomfortable. Luckily they don't last long an dare more of an annoyance than anything. I have 3 more days before the bandages come off. One more step closer.
I was blessed enough to work for a great company where I could take off 4 weeks and then take my vacation that was scheduled before the surgery and get my regular pay, sooo I get 5 weeks to heal and build up my strength and get used to my new girls before I "introduce" them to everyone else.
still working on how to post pics, about to enlist the help of my 14 year old daughter. so hopefully they will be up soon.

So I had my bandages taken off today and can now begin scar therapy. I'm happy with what's there though. The scars are completely flat except for on my sides. There are lumps there,but my PS said that it wasn't anything to worry about and that they would go down in time. I think the lumps are why the scars there seem so pronounced.Anyway I look forward to treating the scars and continuing to see progress and healing.
Btw there is an area where there is some as he put it "irritation" and I have to apply ointment until it heals, but he said that should only take a few days.
So all in all very pleased.

Hi guys, I know it's been a long time but I got inspired by Zumba Ariel to update and let everyone know how things were going. My scars are healing up fantastic. I asked the doctor what size I ended being and his response was "perfect" lol. And when I went to buy a bra and the sales person asked me what size I needed I was to tell them a size perfect. I haven't tried on a regular bra yet because the sports bras are so comfortable and since I can't wear under wire for another couple months I'm content with them for a while.

I started back to work today. My scars got a bit sore, but nothing I couldn't handle. I've began to exercise too.Now that the girls are normal size I noticed that it made my belly look more pronounced,lol. Sooo I joined WW online and began an exercise routine. Lost 2 lbs so far since last Tuesday,YAY. Slow and steady.

My husband keeps asking how they look, the distance has brought us closer and we have been communicating alot. I keep telling him their tiny. I think he wants a visual. May give him one if he keeps being a good boy. He's in Afghanistan and I worry about him everyday, but this is my time and I've made it through this on my own with the help of some awesome people.

The scars on the side are darker than the others, but with my therapy, using silicone gel and massage everyday twice a day, they have flattened out quite a bit. Looking good. Got an early day tomorrow, so hitting the shower and bed for me.

Good luck to anyone who has their surgeries coming up!! WELL WORTH IT!

I've reached the 11 week mark and the compliments keep coming. Got a chance to see my in-laws this weekend, my daughter graduated college , and they kept telling me how incredible I looked. My mother-in-law said she couldn't stop staring at my boobs or as she put it later where my boobs used to be,lol. Anyway I'm having a ball dressing them. I think I've bought a new dress at least once a week.

And to top it all off since I can now exercise for the first in forever I have dropped 9lbs in the past 5 weeks. Feels good!!! Got a few more to go to reach my goal but now that I can work out with out stopping because my breast hurts it won't be long. Seeing the results gives me ammunition to keep going.

Good luck to anyone out there who's one step closer to the best feeling ever and those who have crossed the threshold, it only gets better.

By the way, got a call from the Ambulatory center saying they had a refund for me, so my final cost is going to be even less,WooHoo!!!
