Insurance approved breast reduction scheduled for Monday, November 28, 2016, 7:30 a.m. My symptoms includes shoulder indentations from bra due to heavy breasts; neck and shoulder pain; rashes; back aches/headaches; discomfort during certain exercises; difficulty shopping for beas, etc. With surgery, I hope to be reduced from a 34H to possibly a 32D or 34C.

Great that you'll be having the surgery soon to alleviate all the physical suffering you've had.
Just think that in a few weeks you'll look as you wanted, feel emotionally how you wanted, be able to by new clothes that fit you and don't hide you and have far more comfort in your everyday life and activities.
I wish you well for the morning or afternoon, and for a successful recovery.
Keep thinking of the positives.

Thank you!!! Well, I had my surgery this morning and I'm actually feeling quite well at this time. I've looked forward to this moment since my early 20's, especially being a "C" in the 8th grade and a "DD" my 12th grade year!

May your healing start straight away.
Well done, I am so glad for you.
I wish you good healing.

Breast Reduction - Day 8
12/05/16: Drains and staples removed; fitted with sports bra. Now approved by Doctor and Nurse to shower (sponge bathed prior to this day). Steri-strips to remain in place until adhesive dissolves.
Advised to wear sports bra until next post op visit scheduled one month away (January 2017). Purchased two inexpensive sports bras with front zipper from Wal-Mart ($12 each). Also purchased silicon gel from my doctor's office which is formulated to reduce the appearance of scars. Note: Advised to only use after steri-strips are no longer adhering and are no longer in place. Excessive sun exposure to be avoided to prevent darkening of scars.
Still sleeping upright. It's simply too uncomfortable to sleep any othet way.... Sleeping at practically a 90 degree angle is a pain (most of the time)...literally!
In January, 2o17, hoping to find out true bra size and if I'll be cleared to wear a regular bra. However, wearing a sports bra feels comfortable at this point and time as it offers the much needed support during the healing process...
I am truly happy with my results so far! No regrets.

I'm sorry you're having trouble with sleeping and hope soon you'll be able to find a more natural position to let you nod off and have a decent nights sleep. Oh dear, the dreaded constipation: I have found the old remedy of prunes quite useful and drinking lots of water. I did have a colonoscopy a couple of years ago and was given an enema to use beforehand, which was effective about 1 minute later: this was through the NHS in England. I don't know whether you may be able to get a quick acting enema from your Doctor.
I've found one thing to be hugely beneficial for indigestion, nausea and feeling bloated, ginger. If you had a general anaesthetic, that can leave you feeling bloated. Anyway crystallised ginger or root ginger beer (non alcoholic) and the fizz could make you burp which may help, and massaging your tummy.
I hope you're over the pesky issues soon.
Oh nearly forgot, your new size looks good on you already: once the bruising goes and swelling diminishes I'm sure you'll look even better, and no doubt feel a whole lot better and more comfortable in your new self.
Well done.
