Hi! I just want to introduce myself! I'm one week away from my surgery date! I've been very large chested my entire life. It Has always been such a huge part of my identity, as much as my blue eyes. It was always what made me stand out, but they just keep getting bigger.. and heavier!!! I have debilitating back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, so I decided to finally go through with the reduction to be free of the girls for good! and finally be able to wear some cute shirts! I'm excited, but really nervous. I'm sure I'll have tons of questions during my recovery and probably some reassurance, lol. One week from now I'll be having a bilateral reduction with a free nipple graft and be reduced to a D ( which I haven't been since I was 14!!!)

Thank you! I was headed down that road too! It would've been the next step... then my ortho told me flat out that I will always be in pain as long as my boobs were this big. In that moment is when I decided to just do it :)

I haven't seen my feet in years, lol! I tear up just thinking of how different it will feel! I'll feel like I can breathe again... and hopefully won't become a hunchback from constant slouching

Good luck!! Your surgery is a day after mine so we're in this together!!! I'm having a free nipple graft as well; my boobs are so big my surgeon doesn't think she'll be able to save them. I'm sad about that part but sooooooo happy to be getting new smaller boobs!!! Sending lots of positive vibes your way!!

thank you!!! good luck and positive vibes to you too! My doc said I won't have really any feeling in my nipples after, which kind of sucks, but their sensitivity have already been diminished so much by my size that I can live with that. just having them smaller, more manageable and the decrease in back pain is reward enough!

Good luck, we're the same age and cup but im in hospital looking down and the havent fallen to the side just perky! One thing is buy your recovery sports bra 4 back sizes bigger or at least 3 so 46 or 48 coz they are meant to compress and support so will be small on u.

results from mammogram

I had to go have a mammogram yesterday as part of pre op testing. They called today telling me I have to come in for more scans. The results showed 'assymetry'?? I have no idea what that means... She said it doesn't mean there's a problem, just that they need more information. So, needless to say I've been a nervous wreck all day. I go tomorrow at 2pm for more tests. Cross fingers, say prayers, send good vibes... I hopet everything turns out ok :/
