Upcoming BR, Feeling Very Emotional...Gainesville, FL

Hi all. Love this site. I'm 59 years old and finally going to do this! I've never liked, I mean always HATED, being big. I can relate to the comments and lack of eye contact experienced by so many others on this blog. The physical discomforts didn't kick in until after menopause. I grew from a D to a DD. Not enough for insurance to pay but enough for me to say it's time! The hardest part is the guilt about this possibly being selfish. Other people live with so many thing so much worse. My husband is being understanding but he doesn't really understand. He is afraid of the surgery and I feel guilty putting him through it. I just want it over! I know I sound a little down but I'm actually very excited (and a bit scared). I have a 19 year old daughter who would also like a reduction in a few years. (Get this-She's adopted and Asian!) I'm hoping that watching me go through this will help her in some way. My pre-op is tomorrow and surgery is on June 23rd. I'm not brave enough to post pictures. Thank you to those who are brave enough. It really helps knowing what to expect. (Knowing me, I'd do something wrong and end up posting them on my FB page! ) Will update as things progress..

My surgery is scheduled for Monday, June 23rd. Crazy thoughts are going through my head. I can't believe I'm really doing this. I'm trying to do things that I won't be able to do for a while- swimming, kayaking, tubing down a river, exercising etc. I will miss those and other things I like to do. I have to remind myself that liking to do these things is one of the reasons I'm going through with this. My husband and I hope to retire soon and when we do we plan on spending as much time on our boat as we can. I don't want to have to wear a bra under my swimsuit! Yuck!
I have learned so much from the wonderful ladies on this blog. Thank you all. Wish me luck.

It's been 5 days and I'm feeling great! So glad I did this.
