I had put me off for years, seems it was always something coming up when I would decide to have surgery. In March I broke my shoulder. And it would not heal due to my breast being so heavy. And being a 36 triple f. At 5 foot 4. Was so hard on my neck . my back constantly hurt. I stayed miserable as it affected my fibro as well. I lost my son in Dec of 2015. And I seem to go down hill. I was tired of crying everyday ,being in pain,and one day I decided ....done. I'm going to have my surgery and make changes in my life for me. Get busy living again ..as that is what my son would want me to do. First step was finding a doctor I felt I could trust in. And I found a fabulous one. She did a wonderful job ,and she made me feel I wasn't just another dollar in her pocket. I wasn't nervous or scared as I walked in that morning alone to face surgery. I had a locket with my sons Pic in it. And I felt I would be OK in whatever? I have Faith in god , I was in his hands.. And if I died ,or lived, it didn't matter, I would be OK. I had no fear... I feel great!!! I'm so happy with the results.. I've had little pain. I have a long road ahead to journey to a new life , to have joy and goodness ,peace. Goals, I want for me ! To learn to drive ,go back to school , to work again.. To be me again!! Only a better version .. Just not to survive ...but to enjoy the gift of living again.. Excited about what the future can be for me.. Only problem I have is not having any clothes ..lol. What I did have ..no longer fits.. And I can barely afford to eat ,let alone get any clothes. Lol... But I'm so grateful and thankful... I'm still here to start a new life at some point.. I am not lucky....I am blessed! You wonderful ladies inspired me so much with your courage and strength. Thank you so much for sharing your stories. God bless you all.

Im happy with my smaller breast. I healed with no issues, other than itching as i healed. My breast still looks pretty and perty. My life situation hasnt improved, aa i had setbacks, not due to my breast surgery. Health issues. I may not have any new bras, or clothes since my reduction. But i am grateful im not in pain anymore. My neck and shoulders dont hurt anymore. I feel good bout who i am even before surgery. I just dont tire out so easy now. But just in case...Anyone decides to donate bras or clothes, please keep me in mind. I can pay for items to be shipped to me. I now wear 36 c. Med tops. God bless...
