Gaining Confidence! Post-Op Day 12, New Pics - Vancouver, BC

Top Heavy, I reviewed the community guidelines and reported abuse for the situation. Also below the negative comments have been removed by the community manager! She also sent me a private message and its interesting because I've had 2 others say the same thing, they received a private message from her, one supportive and one not supportive. Mind boggling. And CONGRATULATIONS on buying the XS number! How good does that feel right?! I just bought a new pink bikini, xs bottoms and a medium top (as opposed to an XL or XXL top). I don't think I've been able to wear a medium since I was 12! Some of the dresses that I bought right before surgery are too loose in the boobie area so I've had to give them away. I can't wait to strut my stuff this summer!!!

The fear I experienced was pretty muh the unknown expectations about recovery, how I would feel, if it was the right decision etc. I guess we all make things up to cope with our fears!

That's exactly what I was thinking after looking at her profile. And she keeps saying to me I remind her of herself when she was young. That's nice but IM NOT YOU! I'm me, and I made a decision to improve my life. She said to me "Do you think Marilyn Monroe needed surgery on her breasts to look more beautiful? I don't, but if you had her breasts you would be disgusted with them". Who are you to tell me how I would perceive another person... I would love to have Marilyn's body. I dot understand why it matters so much it's a breast reduction. If it was a cosmetic choice it wouldn't have been covered by insurance. Anyways, I really appreciate all of you wonderful ladies supporting me and backing me up. Lets lay this issue to rest and move on because I will not give one more thought to these comments. I know I look good and feel so confident and that is all I ever wanted.

Everything you said is literally everything I feel! I don't understand why she felt it was necessary to say that, going through surgery is enough of an emotional journey and I just want support. My whole family and friends have been amazing and this complete stranger wants to rain on my parade. Don't need that shit in my life to be honest! And now I'm so happy because I tried on all my older clothes and they fit perfect, it's like going shopping all over again! I went from an XL-XXL bathing suit top to a MEDIUM!! Woohoo! Thank you for backing me up :)

Thank you girly21 for your support. This is exactly the type of comments that I was hoping/expecting to receive. There's always going to be something a person doesn't like about themselves whether it is a physical disability or a cosmetic desire. Who cares? If you feel good, and think you look good then go for it! It's no ones business but your own right? Xox
