38, No Kids, 38G, Over It! (The Last Part :))

I’ve been thinking about getting a reduction for several years. I finally made an appointment, had my consultation, was approved for financing, and scheduled my surgery. I’m very excited, but pretty nervous. I’m worried about pain. I hope I don’t have to use pain meds for long and pray my body does a good job healing! I want to share my experience/journey on here because so many ladies have done the same and it has helped me over the last few years being able to come here and read reviews etc.

I’m just under 6 feet tall and I weigh about 185 lbs. I have always said that I have the frame to carry these big breasts, but they just keep stretching and my back and posture are suffering terribly. I have had big boobs since I was young. I was a D cup my senior year in high school and that’s what I’m looking forward to returning to. My surgeon said he thinks he will remove close to 2 lbs of tissue and skin. I can’t wait!

Well, the surgery went great! It lasted about an hour longer than anticipated, but there were no problems. It was 4 hours. I didn’t wind up needing any lipo, but the surgery team said the doctor took A LOT of skin and breast tissue. I have drains and they should be coming out tomorrow. My first post op appointment was the day after surgery. My next one is tomorrow. I thought I would have a lot of pain in my breasts, but it seems to only be around the stitches. I’m taking hydrocodone and sticking to the schedule to stay on top of the pain. It’s not horrible, but it’s definitely there. I have been super thirsty and only a little nauseated. Overall, I have felt better than I expected. I decided to wait to shower until after my appointment tomorrow afternoon. He said I could sooner but I thought it would be easier to wait and not deal with redressing the area on my own/with my helper. I’d rather then do it. I did get a peek and I am absolutely thrilled. I’ll post a few pictures I took earlier today and update again tomorrow. Please feel free to ask any questions.
