I decided to do this because I had the usual symptoms, back pain, shoulder and neck pains. My grandmother used to tell me all the time that I was too young to have breast sagging so much. As soon as my breasts grew in I started gaining weight so my body image was well... not great. I got a lot of unwanted attention for them to a point that I think I didn't date because of it. Either way I decided to go through with it sometime in January and by March I went into my first consolation. I was very fortunate that my first choice doctor was a great one. Everything went rather smoothly other than the usual nerves which was to be expected. Something I learned when I found this site.
Speaking of this site I'd like to extend my gratitude to whomever started it and to the many people who were brave enough to post their stories. You have made this experience so much easier on me and have given me great piece of mind.
My surgery date was on the 9th last Friday so I'm still on my antibiotics and pain killers. The surgery itself was a pretty funny thing. Everyone employed at Dr Simon's office are amazing people. Kind and great at their job. It seems I deal with my nerves by cracking jokes and laughing because the last thing I remember before going under was laugh very loudly. I woke up at five which is 5 hours after I checked in. Pretty groggy asking for my mom; something I don't remember. I barely remember getting dressed. They rolled me out to the car and I slept most of the ride home. I didn't have nausea that I remember abd and had some miso soup when my mom came home which I was grateful for. I didn't sleep too much until I started drinking my pain killers. Which I don't need too often. Everything looks good just a lot smaller than I'm used to hahaha. I'll try to keep this updated on my recovery.

I'm off all meds already. My appetite is still poor. I never feel hungry but I eat some. I don't have a lot of bruising to be honest and very little pain. I'm actually surprised by that. Actually the only real pain I experience is when I wake up. The stitches closest to my arms hurt and I have a hard time sleeping upright. I don't have pictures from before but as I mentioned I was a 38F though I wore what here is a 38DDD. Now my stomach looks like a cream puff compared with the rest of me. Anyways I'm very happy about how I look breasts wise and the stomach problem can be fixed with working out. I'm not very good and sharing my experience nor am I exceptionally eloquent so I apologize. I'll include a picture of me one week post op I don't have much from before.

sorry previous post had typo

Its the first week mark I'm so sorry. I'm writing this from my phone so auto correct and small screens don't quite make for a neat platform to express accurately what you want to say. Also its consultation not consolation in the first review. I'll be including some pre surgery photos I found.

well done getting off the meds, try to eat healthy including lean protein as that helps with healing. the secret to sleeping on your back is 5 pillows, 2 under your head and shoulders, one wither side to rest your arms on, and very importantly, one under your knees to prevent back strain.
