My Turning Point ~ A Proper Fitting Bra - Banff, AB

I always had saggy breasts, and what I considered “large breasts”. Then almost 9 yrs ago I was involved in a car accident, which resulted in broke 2 vertebrae, broken ribs and clavicle, as well as requiring 50% of my bowel removed. Since that time, I’ve always had a sore back, whether it was because of the injuries, or from carrying around the weight of my breasts. I had talked to my family physician about getting a breast reduction, and he recommended Dr. Hall-Findlay, as he considered her the best in her field. As well Dr. Hall-Findlay was using a different technique which would benefit the fact that I seem to scar unevenly.

The turning point for me, was when I went and got a “proper fitting” of a bra. I was always squeezing my breasts into a DD bra that never seemed to hold everything in, or always rode up, and felt awful. The day I put on and fit into a 36GG and a 34H was astonishing for me. HOW could this actually be my bra size? WHO has breasts that big? Well it was me. I had to do something about it.

I had a consultation with Dr. Hall-Findlay in Banff, on January 10, 2014. She agreed that I was a good candidate for a BR and lucky for me I was able to book surgery for February 12, 2014. I’m less than two weeks away, and I am excited, anxious, and looking forward to surgery.

I neglected to add the following to the beginning of my post. I'm 48 yrs old, 5'3, 160 lbs and wear a 36GG or 34H bra. I'm hoping to go down to 36C!
