My procedure is 2 weeks away. I can't believe I waited this long to get this done. Little background on me:
Age - 47
Height - 5'8"
Weight - 190
Bra Size - 34J or K
I've had large breasts from puberty on....never smaller than a D cup. After gaining a substantial amount of weight over the years my breast size ended up at a 48J. I lost 130 pounds through diet and exercise and managed to gain a cup size. I lost 14" around my ribcage but my cup size went from a J to a K. I believe I'll be a D cup when I'm on the other side. I had a tummy tuck three years ago and they removed 7.5 pounds of loose skin. The doctor asked me at the time what bothered me the most, the saggy breasts or the stomach apron. I had been evaluated for a breast reduction at another surgeon's office who told me I didn't have enough volume left to warrant a reduction and just wanted to do a lift. Since I was paying out of pocket I opted for the tummy tuck. Fast forward 3 years later and I had been having neck, back and shoulder pain for as long as I could remember....but I never but two and two together. The last time I went to see my primary care doctor because I had a rib that had dislocated in the back (again) he suggested that the problem was the large size of my breasts. He set up the referral for the plastic surgeon and after some major hoop jumping and nearly a year wait I finally got approval.

Say goodbye to the pain:) The new you is about to emerge. I am very excited for you.
Oh goodness! Probably nerves, but call the doctor and see if there is anything you can take for this.
Glad to hear that!!!
