28 Yrs Old, Breast Reduction, 38 H to C-D Range

Two years ago I was posting right after my reduction in the midst of a lot of complications. Today I can happily say I’m all healed up and even though I had those complications, I would do it all over again. I’ve lost 22 lbs since then (& -5 lbs from the BR) because I’m actually able to RUN NOW. I feel more confident, proportionate, and I fit into clothes comfortably now.
2016 Recap: What happened was I got a blood clot after surgery. It was dvt (the kind that can travel and cause a deadly outcome) and the only thing doctors can do is to put you on anticoagulants for a blood clot. Well what happens when you just got cut open and thin someone’s blood? Internal bleeding. Two days after I went on Coumadin I had developed a hematoma, passed out and had to go to the hospital and get a transfusion. I was there for couple of nights and then released.
One or two ladies have told me my experience scared them. While I am a reminder that this procedure is not risk free, I do not think my experience should be a deterrent. I’m fine now. You can follow me on Instagram to see more of my progress if you’d like: @ tyranosarahrexx . And if you want to dm me there, as many have already, I’m an open book.

Ok, yeah what happened to me sucks but this has to resolve itself in time. Right? All I can do is be patient, go to all my follow ups, hope for the best, and remember what it was like before. I had the migraines, BAD ones. So bad drs were doing MRI scans to see if I had any brain tumors, and later on I was getting Botox injections in my head (they didn't help much). I also was not able to exercise for long periods of time. If I went to a YMCA class with a friend I would slow down way before her and 90% of the other class. Exercising matters to me because I plan to pursue a career in law enforcement. Those were just a few of the issues~
But today I am just going to d*ck around my house on a lazy Sunday, try to ignore the new swelling (even though I am out of pain pills now...grrr) and distract myself with video games and my two sweet doggies. Even though I have to continue to bind my chest I still bought two new sports bras...from "regular" stores Target and Walmart! I thought it would be fun to take a pic doing a side by side comparison of my old sports bra and new one. The pic doesn't do justice, my old Lane Bryant bra ECLIPSES my new Target xl sports bra! The other pic is how small I am now. My new size is taking some getting used to, but I guess that's normal seeing as how my big bazooms were part of me for so long. I think I'm just in mourning. Ha. I misssss youuuuu cleeeeavage

Part 6: I understand that it is tricky navigating my two remaining issues: I have the blood clots (from the surgery) so I need to stay on anticoagulants, but I am also all cut up in the chest from the surgery so the very notion of being on blood thinners is counter intuitive. Still, I have to stay on them--a twice daily needle in my stomach called Lovenox that I have to shoot myself with at home--or the blood clot that is dangerous could cause a super fun pulmonary embolism!

The problem, though, is that I feel my left breast swelling up again with blood. Slower this time, but surely. My dr has advised me to bind myself with a large ACE bandage until I can see him again on Tuesday which seems to slow the process down. It's upsetting to have to keep being worried that I will end up like I was before, and he empathizes, but no one seems to know how to fix both issues at the same time :/ Perhaps I will see if any of the doctors on this site have an answer
