39 Years Old, 3 Kids, 5' Tall with DDD Breasts. Kingston, ON

I'm not one of the ladies who hate my breasts. Actually for many years I was quite proud to show them off, but now at almost 40 I'm over it! 5 years ago I was approved for a reduction. A surprise pregnancy stopped me at that time and I've had 2 more children since then. I'm finished with having kids now so I called my surgeon in December and got the ball rolling again. I had to be approved again and by January I was approved. My surgery is this Thursday! I have been following the stories here since December and I thank you all for taking time to do this. It really helps so much to see the different experiences. I can't wait to be a more balanced lady who can wear everyday clothes without looking like I'm busting out. I look forward to no rashy sweaty breasts this summer and I can't even say how excited I am to be able to live a daily life without shoulder, neck and back pain.

Hi everyone, I had my appointment for the bloodwork this morning. I am a little nervous because I've had absolutely no contact or instructions from my surgeon. I just got the call an hour ago that my surgery time is 7 a.m. on Thursday (today is Tuesday). They didn't give me any instructions as to if i need to bring a bra or anything except for no eating tomorrow after midnight. I feel like if I didn't have this page, I would know absolutely nothing! Maybe they are just assuming that people look online for everything these days so they don't need to tell us much? My husband is feeling mopey because the girls will will be put away for a while. Do any of your hubbies feel sad at the loss of the larger ladies? I have arrange for my 3 kids to be away for a couple of days. I will be sad not being able to put the baby to bed but it really will be such a short time. The office told me that I will likely be on my way home 2 to 3 hours after my surgery time. Did anyone else go in and out that quickly?

Well the reduction is done and I'm feeling pretty good. Was pretty worried about anesthesia and waking up but it was not bad at all. Havent felt sick just woozy. I dont have drains, so glad. I'm back at my mom's house and it's been 5 hours since I was put under. I feel very happy about the size! They look nice a small. He didn't tape them and says he doesn't use tape at all so just wrapped in gauze and my front closure bra. Having some bleeding on the right but no too bad. Here's my best attempt at a pic!
