Like everyone else, my story is pretty much the same and very addicted to this website.
Maybe by joining this support group, will lessen the anxiety that has been building.
I am 54 years old. 4'9, 125 lbs. trying to fit on 36 DDD, but the last bra I bought from Change store measured professionally was 32 H,no wonder. It was very depressing!
I have been suffering for years with back pain but breast reduction was not in my mind.
In went to various physio therapist which do nothing, been to the gym, and tried Dukan Diet. I went from size 8 to size 2, but the boobs stayed huge. I quit dieting and I am now back to size 8 doubled my weight and major depression.
I was told that maybe it was the boobs. I have all the bra accessories to make my breast feel lighter. I got bra silicon shoulder strap holder , bra extender, nipple concealer etc..you name it I have it. So I went to my family doctor and gave me a referral slip to a PS.
I saw a PS in mid- August of this year. It was quick. He told me my boobs were not the same in size plus he saw all the scars marks due to the rashes the boobs created. Took a picture of my boobs, layout the plan and was told his secretary will call me. I did not receive a call so after a month, I called and was told she will call me but there is no schedule for me yet. Meanwhile the aches and pains due to the heaviness of these boobs are now unbearable.
Went for a getaway in October for wedding anniversary and when I came back, I got a message from the secretary, to discuss my appointment. I was so thrilled, called her back but she is out of the office will be back by the end of the following week. after 2 days, I got a call, there was a cancellation if I want to take the following Wednesday surgery. I would have, only I have an event on Saturday plus the people who will assist me were not ready to leave work. To this day, I regretted that I missed that opportunity.
The date given to me was January 8, 2014, in a french hospital.
My husband and I are supposed to celebrate Christmas with my ailing sis-in-law who is suffering from multiple myeloma in California. However, I decided not to come with him 'coz that is the week I will have my pre-op plus my husband needs to bond with her sister this Christmas as we do not know what the future holds for her.
My pictures will be added as soon as the computer cooperates. I am not a techie.
Thank you all who shared their stories that inspired me to write one.

What a nasty day for Pre-op.
I got a call from the hospital yesterday for pre-op tests. I had my appointment for 8:40 this morning.
I got up and found the weather was nasty. I filled up forms and more forms.
The nurse is fantastic. She communicated with me in my limited knowledge of french.
I noticed that majority of the patients there are English speaking and really struggling to communicate in French because the hospital is uni-lingual French. Hoping against hope and keeping my fingers crossed that its a boob reduction and not augmentation.
The labs were a bit of a challenge to locate. I felt like the vampires suck all my blood out of me.
I am just extremely exhausted on that pre-op journey.
Although am excited, my stress level now is at its peak. Looking forward to January 8th.

Anxiety level at its peak.
The operation is happening in 6 days.I've endured years of aches and pains and I know this is my last recourse. Each time I look at my breast, I am more and more convinced, I am carrying a load of miseries and they have to go. Too bad they did not happen in 2013. Except for the New Year's lunch at my sister's place, I did not see anyone outside my family circle for fear of judgement, unsolicited advice and catch cold.
I hope this feeling will go away. So much anxiety building up. My 89 year-old aunt is scheduled to have an eye surgery on the same day. She has not communicated in a while and only told her surgery 3 weeks ago because she needed someone to accompany her. Now she wants to cancel her surgery because she said she relied on me. Call it selfish, but I cannot think of anyone's surgery except mine's.
I did not elaborate to her my surgery. she will oppose to it I know for sure.
I will keep her guessing and will tell her post-op every single details.
Have a nice week-end!
