27 Yrs Old, One Kid. 40 G, Long over Due Breast Reduction - Washington, DC

Good morning. ive been following these stories for...
good morning. ive been following these stories for some time now, and Im ready to share mines. Since I can remember, I've always had pretty large breast. In middle school I had the biggest boobs and they were so uncomfortable to run with! Even with a sports bra I had to hold them down while in gym class. Fast forward 15 years, now I am a 40 G and still holding my boobs down while at the gym. Even after having my daughter, 6 years ago, my boobs were bigger then others but a DD which I thought was the perfect size, but then they just continued to grow. Last year I was walking around in a 40 DDD bra and was upset because I was spilling out, so i decided to go get measure. I was in such shock and disbelief when the store associate said 40 G!!! I didn't even know they made bras that big????. From that day, I knew a breast reduction would be right for me.

How can it be "long overdue"?? You're only 27! Some of us - most of us- have had to live with this condition for way longer. And it hasn't been easy. Wait another 30 years, then you can talk about being long overdue. No offense

Leonine1 it was definitely long over due for her, you have no idea what she went through.

thanks!!!! my doctors told me they were glad that i decided on this at a young age!

@leonine don't be ridiculous, it is long overdue..I'm 25 and have wanted it since I was 16, 9 years waiting was long enough. If you're that bothered by the big boobs you'd get them sorted sooner like myself and the OP, therefore you havent had to live with them for so much longer

My process
Once I finally decided to look into getting the breast reduction it didnt take long for my doctor to approve. She gave me a referral for a plastic surgery consultation. After that it took me about a year before I actually went (not sure what took me so long). Within the first few minutes of meeting my surgeon he agreed that surgery would work for me, now we just needed a date. July 12th is my day. Just a little over a week!!!! I'm nervous, anxious, and excited. One of my friends had a breast reduction from a FF to a D and she said she felt much better before she removed the bandages.

I had 6 weeks off :p it was great lol 6 weeks with no stress! That's only coz they asked how long I wanted to be off for lol, I'd imagine most places sign you off for 2 or 3 weeks.
July 25, 2016
my doc actually gave me almost 8 wks off. im thinking of taking 4 off. im getting bored already lol but i get tired fast after the surgery so ill use this time to rest up
July 25, 2016
Wow nice doc! Netflix is your friend to keep you from boredom! It took me 5 weeks to feel human again so I'd say 4 weeks minimum! Happy healing

Had mine done on the 14th and my PS won't release me until September 1st. Much needed vacation and then some. But because I'm only part-time I won't get paid for it, so I'll have to use a week of that time as paid vacation, bills gotta be paid. But my dad (Lord knows I love this man) has told me not to worry, he got me. So to not cause complications from stress , I'll use this time wisely because my job requires me to be on my feet 8 hours a day.
From the stories I see here going down to a DD works out great, as long as you are at least two cup sizes above that. You have that covered. It's those of us who want to get down even smaller that sometimes have to choose between the health of our breast and the size we really want. I went from M to an E (same as DD). I would have liked a B or C, but healthy is more important.
It feels AMAZING. My back pain is 95% gone. My back was overburdened for 4 decades so I think 95% is incredible. As an extra bonus I can breath a lot better!
I look forward to hearing about your journey and wish you all the best.
