WORTH IT$3,000

Hello Ladies,
I have been cruising this site for a few weeks now and it has been so helpful and inspirational. I have had large breast forever. I don't remember them to ever be perky because they have always been very weighty. I am 47 for a few more weeks and am having BR in 6 days:) I have such a mix of emotions right now. I am 5'3 an 152. My frame is small and these boobs are killing my back and neck. Enough is enough. I am so tired of trying to find bras that fit. the right one will fit in a ddd but the left one is like h so I have to tuck it and fold it to fit in the cup. I have been wearing 2 bras for years. Beside that It is a challenge finding clothes especially dresses. Recently I lost alot of weight and the nipples point straight down to my shoues..not a good look. I am so looking foward to it and am glad I found this site. My insurance approval came back in less than two weeks and I am feeling so blessed.

Hi Lesh - You and I are very close in age and our surgery dates are also close. So nice to share this stuff with other women.....What size bra are you currently wearing now, and what size are you hoping to be?

What size I wear and what size I truly am is a different story. I generally wear 2 bra. The left one is over a ddd and the right one kinda fits in a dd. I wear a 36 dd busting out the bottom and spilling over the top.lol I can't wait to feel normal.

Good Morning, Five more days and I feel so unprepared. Can anyone tell me some things that are a must have post-surgery?What type of food did you have on hand? Did you have your normal appetite after of did you eat small infrequent meals? I/m gonna get my shopping out of the way and am not sure what to buy?

Hi lesh, I've only been home since yesterday afternoon, but so far I havent been wanting to eat much. I had soup last night which didnt have much taste to it. Im assuming from all of the drugs in my IV. This morning I woke up and had a half a pice of toast with coffee. I wasnt hungry but knew I needed something in my stomach before I could take my meds. I would think soft, easy to make things. Nothing too heavy.

Wound cleansing wipes, gauze pads, hand wash liquid for your bras as you will be constantly washing them, I use at least 2 every day.

Wow ... I cant believe I'm up at 6am on a Saturday ...3 more days til BR and I am nervous as hell.On my way to Walmart to do some last minute shopping. Cleaned out my closets and can't wait to start shopping for new clothes especially bras :)
I have to check in at the hospital @ 7am on Monday and surgery is at 10am. I can't imagine my body without big boobies. I feel so blessed to be able to make such a change not only for my health but I've always been self conscious about my size because they don't fit my frame. Now all I have to do is get rid of the muffin top and I will be happy. :)

Good luck Lesh - I am about your size - 5'4" and 147 lbs..I was a 36DDD and had BR surgery in Oct. I had shoulder pain for about a year and have not had a pain since I had my surgery. I am about a full 36B-36C and love it! I am very active so I am enjoying jogging now :) My surgery was so easy...I was a nervous wreck since this was my first surgery ever but it was nothing..really...I had very little pain if you can even call it that..slight burning under my breast for a day..I was walking 2 miles on the 3rd day. I hope your surgery goes as well as mine. Will be thinking of you!
