WORTH IT$2,000
Like everyone else i have always had large breasts. A full C in high school and after children i was up to a 40 H. Even when thinner I can't get lower than a DD. It's difficult carrying all of this around. My surgical date is October 24th, can't wait to shop for bras in a regular store. Recommendations on post surgical bras and how to calculate what size to get?

The best of luck!! :)

I'm excited for you best of luck....I'm in the very early stages of searching for the best surgeon in breast reduction.

Thinking of you- prayers for a great surgery and excellent results! Today will be a memory soon- think of happier days and pretty clothes to come!

Best wishes for a smooth surgery! You will be so happy when it's done. I'm on day 5 and my neck pain is gone!

Today back pain is gone but I'm super tired and very swollen. I called the PS and they said it's to be expected. Icing and Advil to reduce swelling. Still glad I did it!

I don't think the ice has changed the amount of swelling, but helps with the discomfort. It feels like when your milk comes in and you think you are going to burst. Trying to lay low, maybe too much movement?

I so wish you luck!!! I've wanted a BR since 1981. I'm going to try again. I'm 65. You go girl! I'm waiting for Insurance to get back to my PS. He thinks I'm good. We will see. In 2007, insurance was crappy & turned me down.
October 23, 2016
Thanks! My insurance company wouldn't pre authorize but i really need this so I went ahead. He says I have enough so they'll probably take care of it. Good luck with everything!
October 24, 2016
Good Luck!! Please keep us informed on how you're doing when you feel up to it.
October 24, 2016
Wishing you all the best....hope everything goes perfectly!

So happy for you to be on the other side. Hopefully that was the worst it will be. I couldn't believe how much better I felt by day 2-3. Rest, let others do for you.
October 25, 2016
Thanks... i hope it'll be better by tomorrow. Hurts to move. My post op appointment is tomorrow. Can't wait to see the finished product.

This site keeps putting in question marks when I had put exclamation marks lol.
October 25, 2016
Congratulations! Rest, rest, rest! And then rest.
October 25, 2016
Good Job! so happy your on this side with some of the rest of us. I'm on day 6 it does get better, but rest is the biggest advice and that is the truth you really, really need it right now, take care.
October 26, 2016
It gets better each day....so far been one week better and better. Showered for my first time today ! Yipee, felt so good. Keep resting !
October 27, 2016
Doing ok, I have quite a bit of swelling do you ? My PS said no ice packs ! Not sure what to do it's not unbearable yet but very uncomfortable.
October 27, 2016
I have a good amount of swelling too. He said no ice. You can accidentally cause some of the skin to become necrotic. I iced once when it was unbearable. I keep feeling water run down my side in back.
October 26, 2016
I just started following you. Soo happy for you. I have not had this surgery but would like to. You're on the good side now....hang in there...you are brave!!
