I can relate to how you are feeling. I have been doing a lot of boob watching this week and have had the same thoughts. I find it odd that one week away from surgery and my boobs have never seemed smaller. I keep looking at myself wondering if I am really as big as I have always thought. When I share with some that I am getting a reduction, they look at me and say "you need one". I remind myself that I have learned to hide it well. I know what types of clothes to stay away from and also the pain on my shoulders is a constant reminder that I am not kidding myself. Granted I am not as large as some of the breasts I have seeen. Suddently every women I see looks like a candidate for a breast reduction.
Something else that helps me (I don't mean to offend anyone) is noticing the older women with larger brears are very saggy. I fear gravity as I age. Already it has done a number on me and I don't really want to know what another 10, 20, 30 years of gravitational force will do to my breasts. I image a hunched over old women with saggy breasts and I am READY to get on that operating table.
Good luck with your surgery! Mine is in 10 days. I think what I will NOT the miss the most is shifting uncomfortably after long meetings because my back can't take it anymore, or not being able to enjoy sitting on the lawn during fireworks, etc.
Mabsie, I am feeling your axiety right about now. My surgery date is set for July 23 and I have all sorts of fears running through my mind. I know why I am doing this and am surely going to go through with it but the anxiety is there nonetheless. I am a 34 DD and probably a 32 DDD (of course I could never find that bra size). I am also tiny at 5 ft tall and 100 lbs. Your breats look fuller than mine but that is probably because I am 36 and have had two kids. Looking at your pictures reminds me of what I dealt with for years.
I keep wondering if maybe I am not that big and don't need surgery. Then I feel the pain in my shoulders and remember that even if they are deflated they are still too big for my small frame. I am very interested to hear how your surgery and recovery goes. I wish you the best. Keep us updated.

Good luck. One week away!
