A busy job, poor lifestyle (too much coffee, not enough sleep, too many hours sitting down) and the biggest breasts I've seen on a woman in real life have combined to give me serious neck pain and postural issues.
In seeing the doctor to change my lifestyle (underway), we also decided that the fastest way to improve my health outcomes is to make it easier for me to exercise and sit properly is by way of a breast reduction.
I'm the fattest I've ever been in my life right now at 84kg. I usually weigh around 70 but after my surgery I hope to eventually get down to 60 kg which is closer to what I should be.
I'm currently a size 12 H in bras. No matter how much weight I lose, however, I've never been smaller than an F cup since highschool when I weighed 52kg. I'm desperate to be able to exercise and change my lifestyle before it's too late. This is just the beginning.

The surgery went like clockwork. Straight in at 8am for markup. Due to the large size and irregular presentation and sagging of my breasts, it was a long surgery of more than six hours.
Thanks to my private fund, I spent two days in an outstanding private hospital. Despite sitting around for six days now, I’ve already lost weight off my body, and am walking around slowly.
I lost 1.4 kg PER BREAST. Instantly upon waking up I felt better and lighter. I can’t tolerate opiates so I’ve had only paracetamol for pain relief. The doctor and his team, with who’ve he’s been operating with for twenty five years, were sensational.

Thought I’d add some initial before and after photos.
As you can see in the before photos, I was very overweight. I had terrible posture and my breasts were very heavy and saggy.
I got my drains out five days after surgery and am still covered in gauze. Despite what it may look like from the early pictures, my breasts seem perky and symmetrical. And SMALL!

Here are some better ‘after’ photos, taken on the eve of a week post-surgery.
The change in my posture and even my weight is already noticeable. I’m in minimal discomfort and haven’t taken a paracetamol (acetaminophen for CAN/USA readers) since yesterday.
My breasts are a little swollen since the drains came out, but they appear to have an amazing shape. My nipples now seem to be about 18 cm from the centre of my neck. I can’t stop looking at my new and improved appearance. My Dr is outstanding.
