1.5 Years Later and so Happy- 20 years old, 36I-36D
I like to say that I didn't hit puberty; it hit me...
I like to say that I didn't hit puberty; it hit me. With boobs. Giant, heavy, obvious boobs. At age 19, I have shoulder, back, and neck pain from the weight of my breasts. However, the real motivation for my surgery is confidence and overall body image. I hate having giant breasts. I hate how they're the first thing people notice about me. I hate how people feel like they can comment on them because they are so much bigger than the norm. I hate how clothing never fits right. I hate that I have basically three looks in tops: [RS bleep] mode (AKA my boobs burst forth from my chest like the alien creature from Alien), maternity mode (AKA is she trying to hide a pregnancy?), and potato mode (AKA girl you look like a slob). I hate that boys and men have felt free to scream sexual and threatening things at me in public since I was 14. I hate that I look way heavier than I actually am. I hate that one a lot, especially since I quite literally worked my butt off and lost 30 pounds (not one of those coming from my breasts though, of course).
All in all, this has been a long time coming. I've considered reduction off and on since I was 15, but I didn't know if I was done growing, and I thought that if I lost weight, they would shrink too. Well, that didn't happen one bit, so here I am today. I had my surgery consultation in March, and it's just a matter of waiting now.

I just got the call from my surgeon's office yesterday- Insurance approved my surgery! It's going to be totally covered, and I'm scheduled for May 1st. I can't even believe it right now.
Hey everyone! I just realized that I completely...
As I said previously, I am 19 years old. I am 5'4" and I weigh 144 pounds. I wear a 38DDD, but it is noticeably too small. I was curious the other day about what my actual size would be if my bra for correctly, and I discovered that I should be wearing a 34J. Yikes! That's just too much boobage for me. But, my surgeon told me his plans are to take me down to about a C cup, and I think that's a much better fit.
18 days until I'm proportional!
Also, as an aside, I'm going to be posting pictures as soon as I have the chance to be in front of a big mirror. It helped me immensly to see pictures, so I feel it is only right to post my own. Especially since most of the women I saw when I was deciding were older than me.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
Happy Friday!
