I have been considering a breast reduction since I was 18. I am currently 30 yo, 5'7" and weigh about 190 lbs. My breasts are 38 DDD or E. I believe I grew breasts in 3rd grade.

I am scheduled for a BR on 12/12/12(Hopefully this is my lucky day?!?). Since my early 20's I have known I was going to do this. I always thought I would wait until after I had kids. However, I am halfway through nursing school and just about to get married and we do not plan on having kids for quite some time. And in the meantime, my heavy breasts are KILLING me! I like to mountain bike and do aerobics and my breasts get in the way! I have a lot of mid back pain from studying and standing at work all day. Everything has came together and we decided to do it on my winter break from school. I have a very supportive almost-husband and friends and family. I am nervous but excited. I worry about if I will regret this? Am I going to have major complications? This was a very hard decision to make and I hope it is the right one.

I am really freaking out today. I have been so excited until now. I am very anxious and nervous. Hard to believe I am putting myself in a position of pain.What if the doctor messes up and I regret ever even thinking about this? I am usually very active, how am I going to handle being down and out for weeks? Nevermind the fact that I am paying ALOT of money to get this done...........Anybody else have these pre-op anxieties? I could really use some more support right now....

You are absolutely not alone - exactly the same feelings and anxieties I had preop and I paid out of pocket myself too. I can vouch for most of the ladies here, there is a lot of fear and anxiety leading up to the big day and that's natural. I couldn't believe I was actually choosing to do something like this and worried about size outcome...But I took the plunge and didn't look back -Now 7 weeks and its been the best thing EVER with no regrets - you too will feel this way. Expect the unexpected bumps in your healing process and give yourself time and patience to heal!!! Ask questions and vent here along the way - you'll have fabulous support and you'll get through it. Plenty of time to exercise when you are completely healed - take no chances. Its an exciting time and you'll do great and feel amazing!! Best wishes.

Anxiety is common.I haven't heard anyone yet say they didn't have an anxiety before hand. Sometimes I just think about it and my heart starts to beat so fast but if I change my mind I'll be so mad at myself and regret canceling over anxiety. OK tell myself they have good anxiety drugs and all of us do just fine? Good luck. We will be waiting to sear your great news

your feelings are totally normal. the waiting and anxiety is worse than the surgery. your doing a major thing to ur body and its not to be taken lightly. its life changing. ur allowed to be a bit anxious. if u can try to spend a few hours with some funny friends and relax with family. maybe a good pj party with girl friends will help a bit. we are all here for u as we know how it is before ur big day!
