WORTH IT

I LOVE reading your stories and am happy to share mine with you beautiful gals! I've had big boobs since grade school. D's in highschool, and now, at 30 years old after one child, big ol' 36 DD's. I'm petite - 5 foot nothing & 140 lbs with a small waist and big hips. A stout little hourglass, I am. :-) I've considered having BR for many years but always chickened out at the thought of the scars. Up until after I nursed my son, they were fairly perky for big ones and my husband liked them so I suffered for their beauty, so to speak. Well, I've just had enough. I'm very active - I love to work out, shop, cook and dance around with my boy, and these giant breasts do nothing but cause me pain. I wear two bras constantly (only one to bed, haha.) And at the end of the day, I'm hurtin. My back spasms as I lay in bed and I'm sore and tired even after 8 hours of sleep.

So, last month, I finally consulted with a PS and was approved in under 2 weeks! The consultation was slightly awkward, as I am an employee at the hospital where my plastic surgeon works and encounter him there routinely.. But, oh well, nothing he hasn't seen before. Anyway, he assured me that my breasts are big enough that I"ll still have a "womanly chest" after he removes the amount required by insurance, so I said "let's do this!" I think, as of today, I have 27 days left until the big day. I'm mostly just excited, but admittedly scared about a few things: *Will I go from an 'hourglass shape' to a 'pear'? That would not be ideal. *Will they end up looking boxy? *Will I feel an emotional loss? (Sometimes we don't appreciate what we have until it's gone, y'know?) Will I regret it? *Will I look disproportionate? *Will I be left with no sensation? Mind you, all things I have come to terms with should they happen, so I'm making an informed and calculated decision; however I can't help but feel a little apprehensive. Regardless - I'm excited for the next, more petite chapter in my life! Looking forward to feeling a little lighter!!! Weee! :-) Also, really looking forward to sharing my journey with you wonderful ladies who know exactly where I"m coming from. Here's to new friends and new boobs! Cheers. :-)

Holy hell. I just watched a very graphic YouTube...

Holy hell. I just watched a very graphic YouTube video of the procedure. I feel ill. :-/
Other than that, I'm feeling more confident today. One of my biggeset annoyances and causes of doubt is when my girlfriends tell me how nice my boobs look now and how "they don't look that big". Well yeah, I wear TWO minimizing bras most of the time. So, one of my friends stopped by today and I was only wearing a regular, non-minimizing, non-supportive bra and she was like "woah". Haha. She agreed, there's plenty to work with here and even after the 500 insurance grams I'll be fine. Whew, finally someone agrees. Now let's fast forward this month, I'm so anxious!

Hi Kate! I'm scheduled for April 5th and can't wait! Just think, by the summer, we wont be strapped in those awful minimizer bras in the sweltering heat! Oh the joy!

Mine is also set for 4/5. I am not at all nervous. I can not wait to go outside in just shorts and a tee shirt and look normal!!

Hi herban_cowgirl! I was just dreaming about that! And buying a cute swimsuit! Our surgeries are scheduled nicely to be able to enjoy summer, I think. I'm hoping to be healed up enough to really enjoy it. :-D

Hi Kate
I fully understand your worries I am worried about all the same things btw I love how you called it boob prison lol exactly what it is!! I am scheduled for March 27th matter of fact I have my pre op tomorrow I am so excited and nervous at the same time. But hey at least come summer we wont be tortured by the big bras swimsuits that don't fit and frumpy shirts lol Hears to a new and improved us :-)

Hi Mrs. Thomas! It totally is boob prison, isn't it? There are just some things we have to sit back and watch smaller girls do. I can't wait! In fact, I've become kind of obsessed with researching breast reductions. I'm just so anxious and not very patient, haha!
March 24, 2012
I am scheduled for 6/4 and I am also obsessed with researching the procedure and results. I think it's natural to want to know as much as possible.
March 7, 2012
Hi Kate! Welcome! We are pretty close to the same size...I'm 5 foot nothing, about 140 and was a 34H. With more than my fair share of curves! I can tell you that I still have plenty of breasts left and would never be called small busted.
What is your surgery date?
Good Luck!

Took my 2yr old son to the park today and couldn't help but dream about the day I can run behind him w/out bouncing around like a clown. :-)

Also, I keep tugging them up in the mirror, trying to get an idea of what they might look like post-op. I am officially obsessed and could probably use a prozac or something. haha. Realistically, I'm not doing my skin any favors by tugging on it, so I should probably stop that nonsense. :-)

Also, I realized how funny it is that y'all don't know what my face looks like, but there's my big ol' boobies for the world to see! LOL

Hi Kate, Had my BR 11/4/11, and would do it again. I am 5', like you, and spent my 56 years covering up at the beach and limiting my exercise. Happy to report that it is so worthwhile to be free of the physical and psychological weight of having large breasts. Very best to you.

Hi Kate, herban cowgirl, and everyone else who has their BR scheduled! I can read your excitement in your words, and I'm so jealous that you are ahead of me in this journey! After thinking about doing this for many, many years ~~ I'll be 60 in April and have been 'well endowed' since I was 13 ~~ I am finally going to take the plunge myself! I look forward to reading about your thoughts, hopes, and experiences as you move through this process! My consult is April 5th, and my 60th birthday is April 7, so I guess this will be a present to myself. Happy Birthday to me!!! I am going on a family cruise on March 25 to April 1, so I'm sure the rest of this month will fly by!! Come on, April!!! All the best, Jacquie

Aw, what a cool way to celebrate such a significant bday! You have a lot to look forward to right now! I, like you, have thought about but put this off for many years and now that its so close to coming to fruition its like a dream almost. A really good dream. I will keep you in my prayers for an approval. Fingers crossed!!! :-)

Hi Jacquie!!! Yes, you definately deserve a great big birthday present for yourself!! I'd say you've earned that after 60 years!! Your consult is the day of my surgery! I hope it works out for the both of us!
