Hello reader and potential or previous plastic...

Hello reader and potential or previous plastic surgery client!! :)
Today is my Presurgical Testing day. I've been left and right on this site looking around gaining insight and am thoroughly convinced this is the correct course of action. I thought breasts were supposed to stop growing at a certain point. Well, I thought wrong. I was a D cup in high school and over the course of 10 years have gradually grown to a J. I am in a constant state of pain. I will put on a bra and no less than 10 minutes later, my shoulders will start to ache. Within the hour, I feel the pain in my neck. Not to mention hidradenitis suppurativa which is in a completely different category of pain and suffering that I've had to endure since crossing the threshold into womanhood. I am looking forward to my procedure and can't exactly hide my anxiety. Its already hard to sleep knowing that it will be over in about three and a half short weeks. What a great early birthday present.
Anyway, I'm ready!
Will update!!!

Best of luck to you. I'm five weeks post op. Feeling and looking so much better. Get a wedge pillow and lots of pillows to keep you comfortable sleeping on your back.

The excitement is growing!!!! I am 12 days away from finding the single most sought after relief from this pain. After years of head, neck, shoulder, and back pain, not to mention abscesses from Hidradenitis and the pain from that debilitating skin disease, I am probably going to cry when all is said and done.
I look forward to watching my body change as I'll be able to get back to doing things I love like running. I ran track and field back in high school and even back then, I was no smaller than a double D. Its been a long time coming. No more excuses and I'll hopefully find the results I so desperately crave.

Yay! Congrats on your up and coming big day! Happy healing. Hope all goes well. I am a 34j and even that i have spillage

Thanks!! And yeah I'd imagine you would. People still don't believe the whole thing about the J cup.... Its crazy.
May 30, 2016
Oh I believe girl!!!! Lol I have waited to do this for so long but been such a chicken. But I am sooo ready now! Did your surgeon give you an idea of cup size you might end up with?
May 30, 2016
He actually asked me what size I was looking for before telling me what size he determined would be best for me. I wanted anything between a C and D. He informed me that that is exactly where I'll end up when all is said and done.
May 30, 2016
Wow! Hmmmm my doc said I would still be somewhere in the e/f range ;( I mean I don't want to have no boobs but f!!! Seems crazy to me I am going to have to talk to him again before I go ahead with this! I'm scheduled for July 27
May 31, 2016
Ooooo.... yeah that's still pretty big. You should definitely contact him about that.... There's not much of a difference from a J down to an F. You're interested in a D cup?
June 1, 2016
D cup would be GREAT. I mean everything is better then what I'm dealing with now!!

I am getting super anxious. Its affecting my sleep a bit. Anyone have any tips on getting used to sleeping on my back?? I've been sleeping on my stomach and side for years. Sleeping on my back is going to take some getting used to.
Picking up my antibiotic today. As I will also undergo excision for damaged tissue concerning my hidradenitis suppurativa, my doctor wants me on the antibiotic a week in advance so as to lessen the chances of any possible infections. I think I will also refill a Diflucan prescription just as a precautionary measure.
No pics today. Running late as I'm typing this post. Will update later this week.

Welcome to the community! You are going to look and feel like a new woman once this is done. I can remember before my surgery mine suddenly felt like the weighed 300 pounds. Couldn't wait to get those puppies reduced...LOL
How did your pre op appointment go?
Better days are ahead my friend:)
