Well, it is Friday, and I am three days away from my surgery. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't absolutely scared to death! However, I cannot wait to have this breast reduction done and over with.
My story started like most who developed early. I would get the rude comments from boys and girls before bullying became a problem, I guess. I STILL remember the girl who taunted me to this day. Anyway, mom would take me to the "special" store to get bras, and even though I was small on the bottom, bathing suits never fit right. I pretty much lived with my top heavy self most of my life. I had looked into surgery prior to getting married, but was told to wait to have babies. Well, the year I got married( 1995) I lost a ton of weight, not that I was heavy, but I really got into great shape, and low and behold, on my wedding day, I wore a C cup. I got progressively bigger after my daughter, but was still "small" for me. I found Intimacy in New York, where the "bra whisperer" fits you, and for the FIRST time in my life, I left the minimizer bras and came home with the most beautiful bras I had ever worn. I was in a size F/G however they fit very well. It wasn't until the past few years that with my body changing I have gained so much weight, and the last time I went for a bra..... I measured a J... really, are you sure it is sized correctly??? I wanted to cry. This leads me to my upcoming surgery in which I took out a loan, since I do not have insurance, which I will be paying back for the rest of my life, but hopefully it will be well worth it. I have such bad back problems, especially when I am getting my period. I am in constant pain, and I hope this alleviates some, if not all of the pain I suffer on a daily basis. I will keep everyone posted on how I make out. Please say prayers for me. I have only had two other surgeries, and this one is so many hours. I truly believe in the power of prayer and positive energy. Thank you.

Gd luck. I too suffer with bad back and diagnosed with osteopenia (thinning of the bones) even tho I'm only 36! My hips ache too. I'm a 34g to h cup. I was due to see my surgeon on Tuesday 5th but got letter yo say cancelled as been put with wrong team. So frustrating. I await new date. I'm from the UK, where u from?
I am from the US. CT to be more specific. I hope everything works out for you.
Thanku. Hopefully I shall get my new apt soon.
Have you gotten your new appointment yet? I'm praying things work out for you.
Hi yes my first apt to see surgeon is 3rd September. 9am. Can't wait!!! Hopefully he will give me a date for operation there and then.
Great!! I'm excited for you!!
You will never regret this decision ever. Best money you will ever spend
I hope so. I am having such anxiety... :(
Good luck to you! I had to borrow money too but i decided quality of life more important than money. I am so happy with my new breasts i know i made the right decision! I am sure you will feel the same with yours!
Best wishes for your surgery ... thinking of you.
Thank you. As the time gets closer, I am getting more nervous.
My blood pressure almost doubled (!) when I arrived for the op ... I was glad when it started and then it was over and I was back in the recovery room. The worst moment for me was seeing my breasts for the first time ... they looked so odd but now, a few weeks later, they are looking better every day. Look forward to hearing how it went.
Hope all went well , wishing u a speedy recovery
