Okay, let me start by saying thank you to everyone...

Okay, let me start by saying thank you to everyone who posts on here. I combed through all of your stories and it has all helped me so much. A little about me, I am 24, 5'9", 155lbs. I have had big boobs since 9th grade. Pretty much over summer it seemed like they grew from nothing to a c cup in 9th grade, then just kept getting bigger. When I graduated high school, I think they were double ds and now, a few years later they are Hs! I don't know why or how they got so large! They are definitely the biggest in my family and I am tired of it. I didn't even know my true cup size until about a month ago when I was fitted at Dillards. I thought I was a triple d. Shows how much I know...let me just say, the shock of being told I was an H was a lot to deal with. You can't even find that size in most stores! Needless to say, everything all of a sudden made sense in that moment. Why my back and neck hurt everyday, why it is so hard to find clothes that fit, etc, etc. I know it sounds crazy, but I still don't feel like an H. I know my breasts are really big and they look really big, but I feel like that size seems extreme, and I hope I don't look extreme ( I don't think I do??)...So anyway, after being told my new cup size, I started doing a lot of thinking and decided to pursue a reduction. I am so nervous, I have never had surgery or anything, and it feels strange to in a way be volunteering for surgery. I am just so used to feeling and looking the way I do that it is hard to imagine what better would feel like. The constant back pain and struggle to find clothes to wear is just apart of my life at this point. Sometimes I don't mind them and think they actually look good, but I have to remember how hard it was to make them look that way and fit the clothes properly. I feel like my life revolves around my breasts. Do they look okay? Too big? Too provocative? But I am very tired of that and know this is for the best, and that it will change my life in an amazing way. I look at photos when they were probably a small d and I love the way they look. However, I do have a fear of them growing back! I don't have children yet and my husband and I don't plan on having any anytime in the next few years. But when we do, what if they get this way again and this was all a waste? Very afraid of that. Anyway, I will continue more later, I don't want to keep rambling!

I was only a dd/did depending on the brand and that was too big- I had my surgery a week ago and I'm a perfect b :) at least I think I am. I can't wait to be able to wear button up shirts without the button popping, tube tops, strapless dresses etc. My back, neck and shoulders hurt but in the end I think it was more for self esteem. I tried to go trough insurance but was denied and didn't want to wait for the appeal process. You will not regret this decision but I think you should go a little smaller (than a d) especially if you are planning in having kids :) then once you have them, you can be your d again :)

I totally relate to all you have said. I am a 34 H also however at this point I am 52. I am scheduled for 11/05. One of the things I thought recently was beside getting rid of aches and pains and being unable to buy the clothes you want - our brains will get a rest from constantly thinking about the boobs - what bra to wear - how to camouflage them - it will be more peaceful and quiet in my head. To your question - They do look quite largish but in a very nice way..............It is really hard to tell - I am always comparing myself when a see a lady with large breasts - I usually think they look nice but I do not feel nice.

Tracy, amen. So much wasted time thinking about boobs and how to hide them.

tracy5740 that is so true. The peace of mind and ease of just being able to get dressed and go and be comfortable will be well worth it. And prettyleaf83 I have definitely thought about that c...I just have broad shoulders and being on the taller side, I don't want them to look too small! eeek! I still have time to decide. I am going to discuss it in depth with my surgeon next week too. Choices, choices!

Wow, this could have been written by me! I know exactly how you feel. I was also wearing a 36DDD until I was professionally sized at a 34H. I know I am huge, but I look at other pictures that seem larger than me, but are smaller cup sizes. I don't get it. I hope my doctor is able to take me to a C.

Hi. I just had breast reduction surgery the 26th of September and I would gladly do it again if I had to. Dr Ewart was also my doctor and I couldn't of asked for a nicer doctor or his staff. The people at the day surgery were the best. They made you feel so comfortable. They didn't ignore any questions that you asked. My only problem was that I didn't know I was gonna be wrapped so tight after the surgery. That scared me for just a minute cause I thought I was having trouble breathing

Sleep chair
So word is you aren't supposed to sleep on your stomach or sides for a bit after surgery... but I am guilty of sleeping in both of those positions a majority of the night :( I was thinking maybe a comfy recliner to sleep in would be a good idea until I heal more. I found one on craigslist today for $25! It isn't gorgeous, but it doesn't appear to have fleas or lice, and it's comfy. I am going to clean it well, throw a blanket over it, and when the time comes, hopefully it will be a good temporary bed!

Hey, welcome on board =) you are quite similar to my frame so i am curious how everything goes here ! I will sneek and peek a bit if you don't mind :)

Absolutely! Good luck with your surgery too. I was reading about some of the comments people have said to you about your BR and they are crazy and rude! They just don't understand what it is like. I will definitely be following your journey as well :)
