Like many ladies here, I developed early. By fifth grade I was a 34c. By 12th grade I was a 36dd, at 5'6" and 128 lbs. As I grew older, my weight fluctuated between 160 and 225 pounds. I have been at 180 for over 18 months now, and wear a size 12 in pants...and a 16 in tops. I hate it. I am rather broad shouldered, and long ago discovered how to hide how big I really was. But seriously, my bra cups fit over my head like a hat...but bigger. I have back pain, and it's really hard to exercise with breasts that big. I lost weight by walking,but now have stalled because jumping around and running just ain't gonna happen. I'm not afraid of pain, and I am not afraid of a bad result, because my surgeon is awesome, I am just afraid of the recovery period. My surgery is 8/8, and I am a bit apprehensive. I will be 44 years old next week, and I probably should have done this a long time ago.

whoa! You're back. I feel like I just DVR'd an awesome show and I get to watch two episodes. Keep us posted on your afters...good news is, you're already on the road to recovery.
Okay Crittermom...first of all, we are all thinking good thoughts for you. Secondly, there is only one way to go and it's down (in size that is...) your top half is about to match your bottom half. The pain will pass, but the back pain will be relieved. Be sure to jump in the forums to see many support threads as well as other stories. Also check in on the August 2013 Breast Reductions. All of the ladies here are having a BR this month with you so you can heal together. Lastly, 44 is the new 30! You're going to be amazing.
