I have been looking on this site forever now.. now i finally have the guts to write.. well my surgery is not until october 31 for my breast reduction but im scared. not sure what the outcome will be. im currently wearing a 38 f. im 5.8 and weight around 180. that makes me fat yes i know.. i always had large breast but after three kids they have just gotten bigger and bigger. i did loose like 30 pounds after my last pregnancy but still not back to where i want to be. so hard to get going and start to loose the weight i should. i guess im somewhat lazy. anyways.. i will have my pre-op on the 23rd. not sure what to expect there.. its not with my ps.. it is with my faimly doc, since he is in town where we are.. i would have so much to write but i wont write a book. im sure later i will write some more.. and i hope i can get my hubby to make some pic of my breast.. so i can post them here. its seems like its kinda like a booby family here. lol. it helps so much to read all the reviews. such a supportive site. thanks.. Updated on 8 Oct 2013: Updated on 8 Oct 2013: this is really crazy. all i been doing is looking here on this site look for more and more stuff about breast reduction.. is anyone doing this.. ?? fax Fmla paperwork to my PS. so my hubby will be able to stay home for a view days to take care of me.. im still trying to figure out who to have to take care of the kids when he has to go back to work.. i dont have my family here so its just my inlaws and i have my best friend. my boys are very active and typical for a 2 year old pushing every button there is. my 6 year old is a great boy no worries about him.. i hope i will have people help me out until i feel better again.. there is so much to think of.. Updated on 10 Oct 2013: im 3 weeks shy of my surgery. im looking forward not to have all my pains anymore. but im not looking forward for the recovery.. im scared. im sure lots of you feel the same way. but i just cant shake the fear of something going wrong in the recovery Updated on 11 Oct 2013: im glad to be here on this site otherwise i wouldnt have any ideas what to expect. when willi find out what i all need for the post care?? i will have my pre-op with my family doc and not with my ps.. will he tell me i need?? Updated on 15 Oct 2013: i have been reading how everyone is getting supplies for after the surgery beforehand. so i was wondering if i would get a list as well. but i wont.. i called the ps office and they told me i will get everything i need the day a get released from the hospital. i have been calling them a lot for all kinds of questions. can you tell im nervos and worried. im a worry cat. does anyone has a suggestions what kind of vitamins to take for a faster healing prosses.. ?? i currently take One a day women. Updated on 17 Oct 2013: time has been flying.. haveing second thoughts now. but i know i will be so much better when i dont have that heavy weight anymore. no more back pain. and no more pains from the bra cutting in my shoulders. or the wire pushing in. i have a hard time believing that this will be all different as soon as im on the other side. and also this journey has been quiet the rollercoaster.. my hubby is sad that he wont have his girls anymore (this is what he calls them). but he is all for me being happy and feeling better(no more pain). Updated on 24 Oct 2013: i had my pre op yesterday. im as healthy as healthy it can be.. im all good to go for surgery next week. not that im only nervos as hell for that im also expecting my work to call me back after taking a two hour test to be hired fulltime and not seasonal anymore. that on top makes me even more nervos.. boy oh boy.. cant they just call for a final interview. would be great.. so the waiting has an end.. and i hope they wont schedule an interview the day of or after my surgery.. cause if that would be the case i would have to cancel my breast reduction. since im currently laid off they dont know that i have that surgery.. not telling them either not to get my chances down for getting the job what would start the beginning of december.. anyone wish me luck.. i know i can do this. Updated on 29 Oct 2013: in two days i will be having my Breastreduction. trying to clean everything again before i go under the knife. im praying that everything will turn out just fine with no complications. my husband is very scared for me to have the surgery. i think its more like that he has to take care of everything there is.. cooking cleaning taking care of the kids and all the stuff what adds on.. Updated on 30 Oct 2013: i cant believe tomorrow is the day. they still didnt call me and let me know what time.. and it is 2pm.. my heart is bounding out of my heart. so nervos. i also had an interview today that went very well. now im gonna have to wait and see if i get hired on. that will be another 3-4 weeks i have to wait .. all of this no wonder my nervs are shot.. did get my aunt flow yesterday as well. and on saturday my husband drilled me in my finger with a drill boy did that hurt like a [RS bleep].. tonight i will play my very last time volleyball before i will get my little boobies. cant wait till its all over with. but im sure everything is gonna be just fine.. Updated on 30 Oct 2013: i will go under the knife at 9.45 am gotta arrive at the hospital by 7.15am. i hope i will be able to get some sleep tonight.. im gonna update all of you as soon as i get home and settled on friday. Updated on 2 Nov 2013: sorry ladies it took me so long to update this here. but i have been sooooo tired. been sleeping alot . i didnt even take any pic yet of my new boobies. will take a couple tomorrow. so far everything went well. my boobies do look nice . very boxy looking yet and swollen but great. im sure that my writing here is pretty bad. excuse me ladies but the pain meds have kicked in now. gonna have to finish writing tomorrow. Updated on 8 Nov 2013: well im so sorry i havent been so good with updating but the last week i was soo tired non stop and had no energy after surgery.. it was kind of shock to me that it came on so quick. i never really expected this to happen and it seemed so unreal the whole time waiting up to have a BR. i still have a hard time believing that i had it done. i dont really look much at my new boobs. i like when they are packed away save and sounds.. im worried that they will pop open or something like this.. i know it wont happen but i guess its just a security thingy.. anyways. i had also on wednesday this week my after BR check up they took out two stichtes i had on the bottom of my breast they glued it after and but steri strips on the keep it holding together. doc says im looking very good and bruising in look better that he expected. im glad that he said that. i have been taking it really easy and for everyone who will have it done anytime soon i will tell you you really should do as the doc says. TAKE IT EASY. it will help your recovery. im not so sure yet aobut how i feel about my new breasts. i do know they are smaller. im having a hard time with standing normal yet. not the curve. lol.. i do feel a little unconfy in my body. and now that i can see how big my tummy is that doesnt help at all. so i cant wait till i can start to work out so i can tackle that part of my body.. there are a lot of emotions what come with a breast reduction. its like a rollercoaster. im glad i had it done. its so hard not to do what i usually do. its really hard to just sit around and be bored and not clean the house or anything. i know its better so my recovery but still im just a such a go getter. and now i cant.. everyday i feel better and better now. but the first week was pretty rough for me. not much so with pain. i just felt so unconfy.. now here are some pic Updated on 9 Nov 2013: yesterday i bought some sports bras . and to my surprise they fit. and nothing was cutting in my shoulders. it felt so good.. but since trying them on yesterday i feel that i moved my arms to much and today my boobies are all swelling up. not much fun. so that makes my pain level go up again. i have been taking daily my pain meds. i dont have many left i better wean my self off. i hate depending on others.. Updated on 14 Nov 2013: i hear from a lot a people how good they felt two weeks post op.. i dont feel that way i feel really sore yet and very swollen. i wish i would be able to resume normal life now but i just cant. outer side of my breast hurt so much yet. the insicions are soo sore and rock hard. i have been taking every morning and at night time my pain meds. tried iceing for my swelling and ibuprofen for pain and swelling during the day.. im getting pretty depressed.i cant go outside cause i cant chase my two year old. so im trapped in the house all day.. and now its cold as well its not much fun going out either. im a such a sissy at times. but i feel lonley until hubby gets home and then he doesnt have much to say either other then work.. wich i dont wanna hear all the time. here i sit on the computer trying to read ore about BR an hoping for some uplifting words.
