I have always had bigger breasts than most of my friends and even all the females in my family. I have always felt very uncomfortable with the size of my breasts ever since Middle school. I would get comments by guys that would make me feel uncomfortable and felt like I always needed to cover them up. Even walking down the halls in school I would cover my breasts with my books and/or binders so nobody would see them. Once I graduated things seemed a little better. I didn't get harassed every day but I still hated the size of my breasts. I then met the love of my life and a few years later we decided to start a family. I then became pregnant with my first child and of course with most if not all pregnancies my breasts started getting bigger and bigger. I became a size H by the time I was a few months away from having my baby girl. After I had her I thought my breasts would get smaller and they did a little bit but not by much. About a year and a half later I became pregnant with my son. My breasts of course got bigger and next thing you know I'm back at a size H and feel horrible about it. I then had my son and my breasts have not gone down any sizes. I am still a size H and wish to be down to a full C or small D. I have a lot of back pain and can't fully do basic house cleaning chores like cleaning my bathtub because bending over with all this weight up front hurts my back so bad. I then decided to look into a breast reduction. Then started making a few phone calls and next thing you know I get my consultation scheduled. I went to my consultation last month and got my pre op appointment scheduled for September 12th and my surgery date is September 25th with Dr. Naman. I am very excited yet nervous at the same time. I know it's completely normal to feel this way. I just can't wait to get this procedure done!! The waiting process is killing me lol

The waiting that was the worst for me was two months from 1st consultation that it took for the insurance to approve coverage. Since then I have been keeping too busy to worry about the wait by tackling chores I know I cannot post surgery. For example I have actually cleaned out the garden shed for the first time in three years. Found stuff I did not know I had. Next...clean the junk room, I mean guest room, so I can stay few nights in there propped up so hubby does not whack my incisions in sleep. Somehow the guest room gets filled with wrapping paper, sleeping bags, and off season clothes which I never seem to get organized. But now it will be my little recovery nest, so I better get it back in shape so I don't trip over stuff. I hope the Georgia heat breaks before we get all wrapped up in gauze.

I know this heat is horrible! Before my surgery I will be cleaning my entire house and washing and putting away all the laundry. My husband will be taking care of things while I'm in recovery so I figured I will help him out and give him a fresh start. As long as he keeps up with it he will be fine lol I have 2 kids under the age of 3 so it's going to be really hard not being able to hold them or play with them for a little while.

If we are both recovered by January 2015, wouldn't it be nice if wearing a pretty dress for New Years Eve was possible? Usually I wrap up and cover up with jackets or loose styles because my boobiness just does not suit dressy dresses. If so, we should get babysitters and insist on date nights with hubbies on New Years Eve!
August 26, 2014
Yes that would be really nice! My birthday is on New Years so it would be very nice to wear a dress for New Years/birthday!! I keep looking at all kinds of clothes I will finally be able to wear that I haven't worn in years and some I never have been able to wear at all! I'm getting so excited!!

Me too...excited that in 8 days I won't be top heavy....yeah!!!
August 26, 2014
I'm so happy for you!! You gotta let me know how it goes.
August 26, 2014
Good luck to all of you! I had mine done in the middle of July and am thrilled with the results. I was sore for a few weeks but it's much better now. No more back pain and my clothes actually fit.
August 27, 2014
Thank you kasssimmons. I hope you have a quick recovery. No more back pain and being able to fit into clothes better are the main things I'm looking forward to! I have never in my life been able to wear a tube top (I think that's how you spell it) or even any kind of tank tops that have the built in bras in them. I was always too big to wear them and there are so many cute ones I would love to wear and will be able too here soon. I'm so happy for you and hope you like an enjoy your new smaller boobs. :)
August 26, 2014
Good luck to both of you! I had mine done last month and am delighted with the results. My back pain is at least half of what it was, I stand up straighter and I can find clothes that fit. That is probably the best part. lol

I will be 6 weeks tomorrow and I had mine done by Dr. Naman as well. I had different emotions when I had my BR, but now I can tell you this is the best decision I have ever made. I have no back, shoulder or neck pain. I have been able to jog and not have my boobs bouncing all over the place. I am happy and I think that you will be too. If you have any questions or concerns you can inbox me or we can chat/text. Whatever would be comfortable for you. But the hardest part you will have to endure is the wait. Good luck!!!!

Thank you changingb430 I really appreciate that!
August 19, 2015
Hi there. I really appreciate you posting before and after photos as I'm a 34E and considering a breast reduction. Seeing your photos was very enlightening. I'm going for a consult tomorrow at Naman's office. I know your surgery was approximately a year ago and am wondering how bad the scar is under your breast. Can you post a recent picture? thank you so much!

My month is here!!

abetterlife2014
It's September now and that means by the end of this month I will finally have smaller boobs! I have a lot of prepping to do before my surgery and need some advice on what are the best sports bras or surgical bras to get. Also is there anything else I would need to get? My post op is on the 12th so I'm pretty sure I will get all the info I need then but I kind of wanna know early so I can just get everything I need now. Any advice would be very much appreciated! :)

I got surgical bras, mederma scar gel, arnica gel, neosprin, virgin coconut oil, gauze, 3M lightblue tape for sensitive skin, betadyne, and hydroclorine glyconate. Tomorrow I will buy pineapple and see if I can find arnica tabs. The pineapple has enzyme bromelain to reduce swelling. Some take bromelain in tablets. Arnica montana is in creams or in tablets, supposed to help healing bruises. I am sort of ready I guess, tomorrow I consult with PS on size and final exam, then precheck into hospital. Thursday is my day

I would get front close bras or bras that you can step into. I went to the Wal-Mart on Airport and got the fruit of the loom front close bras. If you look at my post I also have pics of bras that I got from K-Mart also from airport. Get some panyliners from dollar tree and some neosporin. He will want you to use that for the first 7 days. And I wore PJs to my surgery. I had to be there at 5am. Where are you having surgery?
September 3, 2014
I couldn't wear a bra at first; just the surgical wrap they gave me at the hospital. After a few days of that I went to tight tank tops. Not real tight but enough that there is support. That has been the most comfortable. I will wear a sports bra every few days now, but I am still very sensitive to fabric and too much constriction. Being sore for a while is not unusual and I am healing well.

abetterlife2014
Today I have my pre op appointment at 3:30. I'm so excited!! It's getting closer and closer!! Just a little less than 2 weeks from now I will have much smaller and much perkier breasts. I don't think I've ever been so ready and excited for anything in my life like I am with this breast reduction.. well, except for the birth of my kids of course. Well.. gotta go get in the shower and get ready. Have a wonderful day everyone!!!
