This is a 10 year journey for me to get to have a reduction. I've only taken it really seriously in the last year but have thought about it for a very long time. I've just recently gotten approved by insurance for the procedure and I'm beyond excited for it. I'm a chef and trust me, these girls get in the way.

Surgery is in two days. Starting to get excited, but probably won't really get nervous until the morning of. Anyhoo, here are my before pictures.

Thanks everyone. I had surgery today, and am awake (and coherent enough) to begin writing about it. First off, I had surgery at the new med center in Village Point, Omaha and I have to say the nurses there are PHENOMENAL. A special thank you to the nurse that let me use her boobs as a pillow while I tried to sit up before throwing up. She just let me put my head on her and played with my hair while my head spun wildly. That said, the overall experience was great. Dr Johnson finished he prior surgery early and they called me in to get me started asap. We were able to get there very quickly, got checked in, drawn on, and on my way ahead of schedule. I haven't seen the end results yet, but the Dr did tell my husband that he removed 2.5 lbs from each breast, bringing me down from a H to a C. SO EXCITED TO SEE THE RESULTS. I do have drains and expect those to come out in a few days. I can't think of anything else to write at the moment other than they put me on a BRAT diet (bread, rice, applesauce, toast) to ease back into eating, but I think I've put away about a loaf a bread already (so HUNGRY!!)

So I really want to have a shower (2 days post op). My husband was going to help me and as soon as I took the bra and bandages off, i just passed out. I was probably moving too fast, or the rush of blood took it's toll but even though you think you feel good, remember to keep moving slowly!! I did bang up my knee.
Welcome to the community, I am happy that you joined us and will be excited to see your results.
