2 weeks until my surgery. Getting really excited and scared at the same time.
I've been thinking about doing this for years. Have always been big in the chest, but after my daughter was born they just got to big. I have huge back and neck pain.
I've been reading everyone's reviews the last couple of weeks. It's helping me picture the recovery a bit and also helping me put my shopping list together.

So it's exactly 2 weeks away now. Started my shopping of all the things I will need. Would like to thank you lovely ladies for the warm welcome.
I am starting to get nervous about the recovery part of this but I know it's going to be so worth it.
I hate the way they look with out a bra but I took some pictures anyway.

Hi, you don't live too far from me (I live on Whidbey island). You are going to be so happy when you get this done. The recovery is a process with good and bad days, but each day gets a little better. Have you found a bra and something to wear home after the BR? I found pjs with a zip up top, and my PS had me wear my old bra (took the underwire out). Good luck

So tomorrow is the big day!!!! I'm super excited!!! Didn't sleep last night and up early this morning. My house is ready and I think I've got everything I'll need.
I am a little stressed out that there is a school strike going on where I live and that my daughter will be home with me. She'll just be bored to tears lol.
I've read that i need to wait 4 weeks until I can work out. What was like for you lady's??
Anyways I'll post tomorrow when I'm home and on the other side !!!

good luck for tomorrow did you ask to go to a dd or did the surgeon suggest it look forward to your after pictures

The surgeon suggested it. She said she couldn't go smaller because the size of my chest.

Tell her to go as small as she can. As we age and as we go through menopause our breasts increase in size. The biggest complaint I've read is that they didn't go small enough. That was my biggest fear!

That what happened to me. I was 43 (almost 44) when I went through menopause, and that's when I started growing. I think I went from a DDD to an H.

Good luck tomorrow. If you have a good PS he'll make you the size that's best proportioned for your body type. My PS said is be a C, and so far I am. You will look at your self a lot afterward, and you'll have days where you'll feel small, and days you'll feel big. On the big days; just remember you are probably swollen, and if you look at your old bra, and try on old clothes, you'll see just how small you are. Don't worry, be happy lol
