32JJ to 32DD, areola reconstruction tattooing too!

Photos will be uploaded as soon as I take them however I'll be going in for a surgery so so close to Christmas (22nd of Dec!) it's actually the last day of surgery my surgeon offers!
I am fully booked up, and paid for this procedure by myself and have started to prepare for my surgery day and recovery, I've been to my consultation before my pre-op and I'm dropping in from day to day to pay up what I owe my surgeon! :)
I will be going from a 32J, small frame and slightly overweight to hopefully a D/DD
My surgeon won't be using drains unless there is a lot of fluid build-up during the surgery and he also explained to me that regular sports-bras will also be just as good as a surgical-bra.
Another thing I'm actually over the moon about is that my surgeon will be using water-proof bandages so that I can shower pretty promptly post-surgery!!

I am so ready for this surgery, I've been researching it for about 4 years now and tried my best to seek help from the NHS in terms of funding, after about a year and a half of waiting, I went to a psychologist meeting where they (one psychologist questioning me, another taking notes) were patronising, condescending (every time I tried to explain a problem I encounter with my breasts and the size/weight, she proceeded to go 'aaawwwwwww' with a petted lip, as if looking at a wounded animal) then asked me questions such as if I self harmed, if I was depressed, if I was suicidal and if I had social anxiety. Now I have social anxiety to a degree, but not to the degree they would have wanted. I was rejected surgery.

In all honesty, I'm actually glad now I am paying for this surgery, to get it done on my schedule with a surgeon that I was (that is not available on the NHS) and everything on my own accord - without feeling uneasy about an NHS surgeon that may or may not care about aesthetics while he fixes my medical problem. I saw my surgeons befores and afters, and I must say they are absolutely beautiful! He was able to show me ones that were similar to my shape and size, and compare and contrast me with them to further explain how I may look and may recover.

Excitement is not even the word!

Hi girls! Read a lot of reviews so far, and pleased to see that so many are happy with what they got! My surgeon likes to brag that breast reduction has one of the highest satisfaction rates of them all! I hope I can be within that statistic in under 2 months time :)

So now I'm extremely worried about my blood levels. Before I was diagnosed with a folic acid deficiency and was given supplements then was taken back off them a month later - all of my symptoms have since returned (hair loss, cranky, tired etc) and I've statue to really panic. I've picked up some supplements over the counter and plan to take them from now until surgery to make sure my levels go back to normal and stay normal and hope for the best when it comes to my pre-op blood work

I've picked up some more bandeaus for recovery and laying about the house too and it still feels weird, I'm not used to being able to buy anything remotely pretty like that and for such a good price (pack of 3 for around £10) and wow its really hard to wrap my head around

I was going to upload some photos, and I admire everyone on here that plucks up the courage to do so but I've been receiving messages from some guy on here giving flattery and asking about my reduction, challenging what size I'm going to an mentioning how he'd get a better perspective once I upload pictures and I'm sorry but I really don't want to upload any photos at this point because of that, I really don't feel comfortable doing that at this point since now I'm wary they wont be used by other women like me for purposes of research and education on the subject. I'm sorry again, perhaps in the future but not for now at least.

And I find them absolutely hilarious to wear right now! In all fairness, they do cover quite a bit and offer bare minimal support opposed to the 0 support I expected. They do cover most of my boobs and look like they cover all when I leave them hanging ie. breast rests on my ribcase causing a fold

The cups inside them were even more hilarious to me, it's weird for me to think there actually is people in this world with boobs that small and that this bandeau would fit perfect!

Anyway, excuse my bloat, I've just eaten! Also please excuse the LQ grainy photos, my camera isn't too great - I will promise to pinch a good camera in the near future though and update these pics :)
