47 Years Old 2 Kids 3 Including Hubby Saying Bye to the Big Boobies - Glasgow, GB

ORIGINAL POST

I wasn't sure if I wanted to share this journey...

suegil
I wasn't sure if I wanted to share this journey but I have sought so much advice reading other reviews here I thought it only fair to tell my story.
I'm booked for my BR on Tuesday the 20th September and to say I'm nervous is an understatement! I've talked about BR for years and now I'm about to get it done I'm starting to question my decision I've lived with these big girls for so many years it will seem strange not to have them! Hopefully saying goodbye to big boobies will alleviate my neck and shoulder pain I've already had my left shoulder operated on with not huge success and I'm really hoping BR will help my pain.
I will get some before pics posted I'm a 36GG and my PS has said I will be around a C/D cup I've already bought one bra and I showed it to my mum today and we had a good laugh when I tried to put it on and thought how are these big girls ever going to fit in this!! It's a really scary thought I'm so glad reading reviews that I'm not the only one apprehensive my main fear is waking up in terrible pain and just general fear of the Unknown

You will love it. I am 6 days pay post op. I cannot even begin to tell you how my back, neck and shoulder pain has improved. It's so nice to not take medicine to help with these problems. My clothes look great and I can actually walk further than I use to without having to rest because of my back problems. Good luck during you surgery. I hope you have a speedy recovery!

OMG! I want this so bad. I'm saving money every which way I can. I fight depression every time I have to get out of bed and strap down in a sports bra just to go to the mailbox. I suffer with tension headaches from the bras but I can't go thru my day without them. All my girlfriends just roll their eyes when I talk about reduction and say how "lucky" I am, and can I "give them some"...No one supports my researching doctors and solutions except my Orthopedic doc when I got shoulder surgery. I f it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have the where-with-all to press forward. It always seems like there's something better o do with the money, and my personal physician just told me to "lose a few pounds" to lose breast tissue....It seems like everyone's CRAZY and no one takes me seriously., just giggles.

Hi, this will be one of the best decisions you've made. I had my BR done on July 21st and I'm so happy now that I went through with the surgery. I was very confident leading up to the date but then when I arrived at the hospital I began to question my decision but would not allowed myself to loose my money. I was a 34G with indentation to my shoulders, and at times experienced difficulties when shopping and not confident with the reflection in the mirror of myself naked. I'm now a 34E and is very happy with my results. Post surgery I did not experience any pain or discomfort. However, my surgeon had prescribed me strong pain relieve.
Good luck with your surgery.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us! You have no idea how much it helps those of us still in the research stage. My "girls" look very similar to yours, so I'm anxiously awaiting your result.
You'll do great on Tuesday dear :-) It'll be such a weight, both physically and mentally, lifted off you!
September 18, 2016
I can't wait to see your results. I'm a 34G and looking to get a reduction.

I'm getting really nervous it's all I seem to think about I ordered lots of things online last night gauze, tape,bras, creams etc I keep asking myself should I get this done I want it done but I'm scared.

The next two days I'm away moving my youngest into his university halls in Manchester then it's home to cook, clean and get organised.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated
