i'm 21 years old & i wear a 34DD. as a matter of fact, those size bras that i have are getting too small. anyway, i've been contemplating getting a breast reduction since my high school graduation but my mom told me to wait because she wasn't sure if they were done growing or not & they definitely weren't. i was a 32D my senior year in high school (09-10). i barely weighed 120 pounds. i'm 130 now. i started complaining about having back problems around 2008 but no one took me serious until it started getting so bad to where i couldn't get out of the bed from the pain. in january of this year i decided to tell my primary care doctor that i wanted a breast reduction because i was tired of complaining about my back. she referred me to physical therapy for 6 weeks & if that did not help then she would refer me to a surgeon. my first visit with mr. cox went well but he said he wasn't too sure if the insurance would cover it because of something about the amount he would be removing. but i prayed on it & i received a phone call saying that my insurance did approve the surgery. i didn't start getting nervous until my pre-op appointment which was monday that just passed (07-08-13). my mom is worrying about it & her worrying is making me stress. i'm just trying to calm down before monday morning.

a little under 9 hours to go.
it's now midnight & i can't eat or drink anything until after the surgery. i took pictures for myself to look at later on down the line. i tried to crop as much as i could out but i think you guys get the point.

i'm 16 and i've been a 36DD all of the past school year, before which my breasts grew quickly and i had to buy bras often. it seems relatively certain that i've finished growing, and my physical therapist commented on how it'd be good to get this done now because my cervical and lumbar vertebrae had notably shifted. i did physical therapy for six weeks, too, and my surgery was approved by insurance- it's now scheduled for the 31st of this month. my per-op appointment is tomorrow. i'm just plain excited- i loved this medical stuff since i was five, and i'm not even worried. the error rate for this operation is low, rate of infection is low, and hematomas or fluid build up or popped stitches (easily avoidable) are routine and easy to deal with medical happenings. the pain one should expect to experience is low, since only skin and breast tissue (mostly fat, since that's what pretty much constitutes size) are touched. chill; probability-wise, everything is going to turn out swimmingly.

my surgery finished around 11am yesterday. i wasn't really in a lot of pain. i have a high pain tolerance. so it might've been at a 3 or 4 yesterday but now it's a 10. i wanted to look at them yesterday but i couldn't because they are still so swollen. is there anything i could do to make the swelling go down faster? i doubt it. it only hurts on the side of my chest. i'm guessing that's where he cut me at the most. i have a hard time positioning myself to take a nap so i haven't really been to sleep. but besides that . . . everything is ok. i'll post a picture on the next post.
