34, Desperately Needing Breast Reduction, 36H. Scared of Operation :(

New Pics

$5,000
Surgery was rescheduled until after Xmas. Figured I'd post a few current pics. I lost 20 lbs in the past year and it's changed the shape of my breasts a lot.

I just had this surgery on Monday!!! I am 5 days post op and just had a lovely lunch out with my husband. Yesterday I was at the mall buying new bras!! I was similar to Yu and had a lot of anxiety about the surgery and it was honestly easier than dental surgery!! It was near painless and I have had very little problems. My worst pain was a stiff neck from sleeping upright! Message me with any questions. Start your stool softeners a couple days before so you have no issues with constipation. Good luck and don't postpone. It was such a simple surgery and I feel great. I can also go bra-less!!!
I am sorry you were rescheduled but hopefully the time will pass quickly and give you a chance to feel prepared. I was also nervous about having surgery but now that I am on the other side, I am so glad I did and wish I had done it years ago. The day of the surgery the anesthesia was no problem and I have not had any real pain--some discomfort but nothing like what I was expecting. I have not needed any pain meds other than Extra Strength Tylenol, but I have been taking the anti-nausea pills they gave me. I am so excited about my new shape--I asked to go down to a B and I think after the swelling goes down that's where I'll be. Even with slight swelling and bandages, I look so much better in clothes already! You'll be glad you did it!
I was scheduled to have surgery 4 years ago but had to postpone due to other health issues. I am now 6 weeks post op. So glad I finally did it!!!
I don't get it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your breasts. In fact, they are an extremely beautiful part of you, per your pics.
They are extremely heavy and cause back and neck pain. I wouldn't get the surgery if I didn't feel I needed it. Just looking for some relief :)
I didn't get really nervous until the night before and the day of surgery my blood pressure was so high. But I'm so glad I did it because waking up I realized I had nothing to worry about. I'm only one day post op and already feel so much relief. It's natural to have some nerves and fears but don't let it overcome you. You've got strength and courage girlie! You can do this!!
Thank you! Having a forum like this where I can see and read about other experiences really helps too. Happy healing :)
This website was a godsend for me. Reading other people's thoughts and encouraging them and vice versa.. People who you can relate to. I love it. Looking forward to following your progress

Eeeek! T-2 days! Fingers crossed I actually go through with it.

Pre-op is Tuesday and the big day is Wednesday. Nerves are all over the place. Seriously wondering if my anxiety/fear of hospitals will get the better of me and I'll end up cancelling. I'm trying to stay positive but can't help being realistic.

❤❤❤ You'll feel so much better if you can go through with it! Weight off your shoulders, honey. I have a lot of anxiety, too, and I'm not even scheduled yet. I'm over thinking EVERYTHING but at the same time, I wish my surgery were happening asap.
Honestly this is a very painless surgery!! I wouldn't have believed it if I had not done it! I am 5 days post op and I feel great! I even had s$& with my husband last night!!!! TMI but I am trying to show how great you feel after! So worth it!!!
Lol that's awesome :)

Holy, did you really have to wait from summer 2015 to Nov 2016? I'm in BC Canada, and my surgeon's office has told me it's a 6-8 or 6-12 months wait for surgery (I forget).
I could have had it done last fall, but I just started a new job and had 3 months probation so I couldn't do it at that time. They asked when I'd like to reschedule and I said next fall. Here it is lol
Ooh ok! I'm glad it's worked out for you, such a long time coming. Don't back out, everyone says they wish they had done it sooner :) the pros will surely outweigh the cons ❤
Thanks! Fingers crossed lol
I'm in BC and just had my BR done last week. Initial consultation was April 20 and first surgery date offered was Oct 5. (That date didn't work for me so they called when they got one that worked for me).

My Dr also did not provide pictures and I was okay with that. Everyone is different!
Where in BC are you? I forgot to ask to see pics, and I'm so nervous becayse my surgeon is young. I'm nervous that she's not experienced enough.
It's so worth the lack of neck and back pain! I was a 34h and I think I'll be a c-d. I was very nervous too. No pictures from my PS, due to privacy issues with the hospital he works through. I had asked my obgyn who she recommended and he was at the top of her list. Sending calming thoughts your way....
Thanks so much!
I agree SOOOOO worth it!!! Don't be afraid, it was pretty easy.
