Having Surgery - Indianapolis, IN

I am scheduled to have a breast reduction soon, however I am having a TT 3 weeks prior. I would have them done at the same time and by the same PS however my insurance is paying for the breast reduction, and my PS for the TT is not in my network. Anyway, I really enjoy this site. It gives me such hope. I am having mixed feelings about having smaller breast. I know that my breast are big, no gigantic 38G, and my back, neck, shoulders need a break. My problem is that I want my breast to be smaller, but I am afraid that I will look awkward because big breast are all that I know.

I am having surgery next week and I am filled with many emotions, however I have given it to God and I do fine until I take it back. I will post before pictures shortly. Thank you all for your stories and advice. I feel that I am ready.

I am a week post op for my breast reduction. I was, I believe a 39G but now that I look at how gigantic my breast are, I may have been bigger. I had my breast surgery on October 31, so I really did have Frankenstein boobies. I can remember everything that happened before the surgery. I got the hospital at 6am. My surgery was scheduled for 8am. I remember getting prep, and getting my IV. I remember seeing my PS before the surgery, and being transported to the surgery room. Then I remember waking up with severe nausea. The first thing I did after waking up from surgery is look down for my breast. They were gone. Initially, I was alarmed because I believed that he had taken way too much. All night between the horrible nausea and the medication, I kept thinking that I had made a mistake. I also was told by my doctor that I would probably be a 38B. The next day, the nurse came in to change my bandages and I still thought that I was too flat, however she assured me that I was not flat at all and that it would take a while to become use to my new breast. When I first all the stitches and the skin that sat underneath my breast, I said to myself that I should have kept what I had. However, now I wish that I had taken off a little more. I have seen my PS twice since surgery. My first visit, he did not removed my drains and had me come back a few day later and then he removed them. I am feeling so much better today, and although I am still sore, I stopped taking pain meds regularly a few days after coming home. The last time I took them was because I thought that having the drains removed would be too much, but I did not feel a thing. I am schedule to see my PS next week to have my stitches removed. I was warned that this may be unpleasant, so I may double up on pain pills before that visit. I just want everyone to know that I am happy, healing wonderfully, and I love, love, love my new breast. They make me look so little. It's amazing and I would do it again. I believe that a total of 4lbs was removed. Take care everyone.
