I have had relatively large breasts every since I first got them.
Growing up I could never buy a bra that fitted properly (was using crazy back sizes when I was probably a 30 or less). It is much easier nowadays, I could buy bras online or at bravisimo, but I like the convenience of the local shops so I am currently wearing 34Gs from Debenhams instead of a 32Hs.... that is close enough!
The number 1 reason of why I am having the breast reduction surgery is not back ache, sores, etc... the reason why I want smaller breasts desperately is because shopping for tops is the most frustrating thing EVER!!
All the tops I have are stretchy or really big and make me look like a potato sack, I am a size 12 down but very variable on top. I don't even bother to try the most beautiful fitted tops in the shops (not to mention lovely dresses) because they look so obscene -that is assuming they fasten all the way up- and just plain ridiculous and the fabrics/design about to burst!!
So yeah, reason number 1 is that I can't buy tops.
Reason number 2 would probably be that they are uncomfortable and make me look fatter than I really am (at least that is what I tell myself!) and obviously they are always in the way when I exercise no matter what exercise I am doing!! agrrrr
Last summer I dedided that I am not getting any younger and that it was time for me to make this desition!
I went to see the plastic surgeon last summer and he confirmed I was a good candidate for the BR. Just as I was leaving he said something about a tummy tuck.
A TT never crossed my mind before, but after researching it I could't get the idea out of my head so I made the desision of having a TT together with my BR this summer!

The day before!
Just traveled from London to my home country (Mexico) to have the surgery and I am staying 4 weeks :)
I arrived yesterday and I had my pre op appointment and pre op assessment. I am cleared for surgery so all good but I am extremely disappointed that the doctor has decided to not do the tummy tuck at the same time as the breast reduction will be complex/long, I will try to have tt before I go but I see it difficult (dr is going away and I would only have two weeks to recover and come back to normal life with no help!) so I will focus now on reviewing BR now.
I am
33 years old
Two pregnancies
Breastfed
63kg
1.65 cm
All anxiety I suffered for weeks if not months has disappeared now that I know exactly what is happening tomorrow. I am calm, happy and excited.
Here are some before pictures.

A dress I would love to wear in public
before traveling I went to one of my favorite shops (monsoon) and bought this pretty dress.
This is exactly the kind of cloths I never wear (as in not baggy/stretchy! Lol)
You can't appreciate from the pictures how bad it looks in person, the fabric is very stretched and bra is poking out wveywhere. At least it zips all the way up which is not always the case.
Note that I lost 4 kilos from my first pictures and there was no change whatsoever (at least that I could notice) in the size of my breasts.

Best of luck! Getting a BR was the best decision of my life, I promise you'll be so happy afterward. :)
Welcome to the community. You are correct about the shopping ordeal with big boobs, UGH! It was miserable for me as well before my reduction. You have some great support here so please stay with us.
