Big Boobs No More! - Denver, CO

If there was ever any doubt, I'm so glad I took the plunge and did this! My back feels so much better, in fact I didn't realize how bad my back was until the pain was gone. I guess I just got used to it over the years! Now that summer is here I can go do things and I don't have pools of sweat under my bra! That was a gross feeling and it's gone! Yay :)

For a few weeks there I had a really bad rash that I thought was heat rash, turned out to be an allergy to nutraphor, a lotion my dr gave me, so I switched to Burt's bees lotion and the problem is gone. Haven't had any problems with healing or pain, just a little sore if i over do it. My incisions are healing well, I had some scabs that my doctor pulled off along with some stitches that were keeping my scabs from fully healing, but since then most everything has healed and I can sleep on my side! Yeah :)

It was brought to my attention that I never shared my reasons for having a breast reduction. As a kid I developed overnight. C cup in 6th grade, D cup in 7th, and DD all through high school. I grew to DDD at 18 and at 21 I had a child and ballooned to a G cup. When pregnant my doctor kept telling me to find a better supporting bra. It made me so mad because I searched for a bra that I could even fit into, so I started wearing 2 bras. I wore 2 bras for the last seven years, along with layering tank tops, tee shirts and hoodies to try and hide my very large breasts. Wearing a sports bra over a regular bra over the years kept me from getting grooves in my shoulders, but I started noticing my neck was getting hunched over even when I stood as straight as possible. I have suffered with back, neck, shoulder and chest pain over the years so I finally decided I was done. I have hidden my self and been in pain for far too long and I felt that this surgery was worth the risks. My doctor removed 8lbs and I now have no pain and I feel so much better about myself.

Once again my picture is not uploading.
