Big Boobs No More! - Denver, CO

Hi ladies! First I want to thank everyone who has shared their experience on here, you all have been so brave and your stories have helped me get through my experience. I am currently one week post op and I am so happy with my results. I'm 28 years old, 5'2" I was 179 pre and 172 post. I can't believe how different I look and feel now, I was a 42g and now once my swelling goes down I will be around a D. My doctor took 1500cc's from each side and that is roughly 4lbs each! My back pain was instantly gone, no more headaches or chest pains, and my clothes fit so much better :) If you are considering surgery but are scared, don't be! It's totally worth it! I went into this with lots of "what ifs" and worried about pain, size, shape... But I did my research, found an awesome surgeon, and didn't expect perfection. I know my results aren't going to be like some one who is naturally small ad perky, but they will be damn near close :)

Today is day 11 post op. I am feeling quite great. I have had two post op appointments now, and my doctor is very happy with my healing, so I don't have to go back for one month. I guess the second week is critical for healing because it is really easy to over do it, so my energy is coming back, but doc says I'm only 12% healed and I still need to take it easy, so I guess no vacuuming or laundry yet.

I haven't talked much about my experience yet so... My surgery day was intense, I was very nervous, but everything went so quick. I was given my anesthesia, started feeling woozy, then wheeled into the operating room and was told to take deep breaths. Next thing I know I'm being wheeled into recovery. It was done! Yay :) Then once my blood pressure and oxygen levels were stablized I was on my way home. Once home I slept a lot, but that night was uncomfortable. Sleeping in a reclining chair sucks.

My husband has been great, the day after my surgery I was given the ok to shower so the hubs helped and I was so greatful because that was quite an experience. Seeing my breasts for the first time was rough. I turned ghost white and started getting really dizzy, then I started crying and had to sit down, poor husband :( So to avoid another traumatic experience like that I have been wearing a sports bra when I shower and I haven't had any issues since. I'm sure it's all in my head but it just makes me feel secure, so until I feel more confident I will continue wearing it.

Other than the shower issue, everything has been going good. I haven't taken my pain meds for two days now, so my head doesn't feel all heavy and I'm starting to feel normal again. I have had some pains in my left breast, kind of like a sharp pain that comes and goes, but I guess that's normal, so now I'm just anxious for my swelling to go down some more so I can start sleeping on my side again.. Oh to sleep on my side, how I miss that!

I just want to say that I'm happy to have found this website. It's nice to share my story and read about others because my friends don't really understand. My husband knows because he has seen my breasts change over the years, but it's nice to talk with others about this :)

Yesterday was a lot of firsts for me since my surgery. I went shopping, that was exhausting. I decided to wear a sports bra out for the first time ( don't recommend shopping and trying that out at the same time) And I drove my car. That wasn't so bad, my car is a manual, that wasn't a problem at all. I also attempted to sleep on my side, in my own bed. It was nice at first, and my breasts were fine, but I pinched a nerve on my right side. Ouch! Luckily some naproxen helped with that. I really don't miss back pains, so today I'm taking it easy and back to the surgical bra.
