WORTH IT
I have been wanting this for years! I'm 27 5'4 and 140ibls ..I'm normally 120 ibls but I fractured my ankle and gained 20 ibls and having a really hard time loosing it bc my boobs are way to hard to do any real work outs with!! I have a very big family and it's mostly all women. My mom has 6 sisters. I have by far the biggest boobs out of everyone. I've grown up being constantly reminded of them! People feel the need to tell me "your boobs are huge!!" All the time... As if I didn't know! I went to a private catholic school my whole school life. Most of the girls there are small and perfect. I'm small but my boobs always make my shirts stick out so no matter what it looks like I have a belly. So I always felt way out of place. I'm finally deciding to have this surgery bc I can not take the shoulder pain and feeling of having a heavy backpack on my chest any longer!! I love hiking! I would love it even more if I didn't feel so heavy!
I really thought the dr would tell me no but when he saw them and saw how small my body frame is he said he was surprised I lasted that long! My insurance is paying for it.. Thank goodness! Otherwise I'd be in pain forever, no way could afford it.
My surgery is Friday the 13 ...good thing I'm not superstitious lol
I was told to buy a Cotten bra that snaps in the front.. Just wondering do I buy the size I am now or the size I will be??
The picture I posted was when I was 130 ibls...I shoved my poor boobs into that top! Had to constantly reposition them to keep from falling out :( I'm so looking forward to wearing bathing suits and not having to constantly worry about my boobs!
Thanks for reading and thanks everyone for sharing your stories they have been really helpful!
I look forward to sharing my journey now :)

Welcome to the community.  Oh you were blessed with the family boob curse!  Me too!!!  Of all the things my grandma passes on to me I could have done without that one.

You will feel like a new woman when his is done:)

Thank you :)!! I hope so.. I'm still really nervous but thinking about how light and "normal" I will feel after helps. I'm so glad I found this website! It's been a huge help!!

Yes you definitely want cotton front closure and I'd go sports bra type. I don't know about other people but I actually bought one quite a bit bigger than I was wearing the one I got was a fruit of the loom from Walmart. It has a full back and the band pray really isn't like traditional and it comes down so it won't rest on your incision. Look on my posts I posted the style some where on it. It's in the wash right now. So glad you are on the forum it's fantastic, good luck and we will be thinking of you and looking forward to your updates.

I go in at 8am and it's 1am lol I don't know how ill sleep.
I'm nervous bc my PS is a military appointed PS. He is board certified has been a PS for 25 years and has done breast reductions before but I never got to see any of his work. I think I would feel much better if I could. He is only here in alaska for two weeks and does surgerys then the next week he does all the follow up appts and then leaves. I'm really nervous about him leaving and not knowing who I will be going to after he leaves.. I know it will be another surgeon but still would rather it be the same guy that did it. He comes back every six months so I know he's done all this many many times before so it will be ok. I will post before and after pics prob sat or sun depending on how I feel. Will try and go back to bed and get some sleep.

Thank you everyone for all the good luck comments :).
My surgeon and nurses were great. Everyone was so nice and kept reassuring me I'd be ok. Waking up for Surgery I was extremely nauseated..really surprised I didn't throw up. The pain in my boobs was more like a burn but they fixed that right up. Any movement right now hurts but it's nothing excruciating. I like the way they look through the bra. It feels weird to see them so high up..weird in a good way of course :). I didn't need drain tubes so that's a huge thumbs up from me lol I really didn't want them!
It's my husbands squadron Christmas party tomorrow I hope I will feel okay to go for at least a hour. It's right down the road for us so won't have to go very far.
I will try and get some pics up tomorrow. Thanks again everyone for the kind words!
