Like many others, I stumbled onto real self during my breast reduction and abdominoplasty research. I am scheduled for my breast reduction surgery on June 18th. Pre-op is June 5th. I'm so excited!! However, I'm not scheduled for the abdominoplasty surgery until July 15th. I've seen so many posts and I was a bit leery about posting pictures but I noticed there weren't many people who were the same size and weight as me. I decided to post in case my journey would help others. I am 5'5 1/2 and 165 pounds. I have BCBS and they are covering the breast reduction. It only took about 2 weeks to get the approval. I have been going back and forth about the surgery for 2 years but between the back pain and my disproportionate figure, I figured it was time! The other problem areas are my tummy and love handles. I'm actually having a mini abdominoplasty. The surgeon said I'd be a good candidate because I don't have much fat up top and a small amount of lipo, that's already included, would take care of that. It would be nice if he could remove the stretch marks too!! lol Keep your fingers crossed. I forgot to mention I'm getting muscle repair also. Any thoughts and feedback would be appreciated.

I forgot to mention my size. I'm a little larger than a 36DD per my Victoria Secret measures. I'd love to go back to my pre-baby size (34B) but I don't it's an option so I'm hoping for at least a 34 small C. I want to start working out again and I figure I'll lose some mass with the weight loss??

My PS is giving me experal , a long lasting numbing shot kind of like lidocaine instead of prescribing me narcotics.. This was a really big deal to me since I didn't want to be "doped up" in front of my kiddos... Also getting of foods and supplements to stop and or start before or post surgery is also helpful. Good luck today :/) GnG

I'll be sure to ask about that because I worry I'll sleep way too much and be extremely drowsy on traditional drugs.
