I have always had such a big chest and 3 kids later they are a force to be reckoned with. My stomach didn't come through the pegnancies unmarred and I developed a hernia which has been painful for the past 10 months.
I am looking forward to a more youthful body and much less discomforts.
I am nervous my kids are so young and I am there full time caregiver ages 6, almost 4 and 6 month. They are everything to me and I am nervous because of the risks and knowing I will not be able to care for them for a few weeks. (My 3 year old told me the other day when looking at my belly button that it looked broke :)
I appreciate others sharing there size so I will as well. I have lost 60lbs since delivering in May. I am working on 8 more pre surgery and would like to go Down 15 more after surgery by May.
I believe my bra size is 34 H but that is just going off of measurements rib cage 33" but 39" my surgeon is planning on removing 600 cc on each breast (they are symmetrical my photos are selfies so my one arm was stretched out . On my stomach I am having hernia and muscle repair and lipo of the flanks.
I am 5'4" 160 lbs 34 years old breastfed 2 for over 18 months each

I hope everything goes well! Please post some pictures after surgery. I'm am the same size and my PS will take 600 plus on each breast as well. Very curious to see how yours turns out!

Good luck to you! Thanks for posting your story. I am a similar size and wanting to do the same surgeries this upcoming year. I hope all goes perfectly for you. Please post pics afterwards. I am also in Utah and currently looking for a plastic surgeon to do my work. I'd like to hear more about how you found your plastic surgeon.

My primary care doctor referred me to doctor Bishop, I have had friends do implants through other local doctors but they need up each time having a revision so I decided to check out Dr Bishop, I later found out he had done surgery on my mom and ex-sister in law. He specializes in reconstructive surgeries so he treats a lot of women who have had breast cancer. I will tell you better after how it goes. Not all plastic surgeons offices work with insurance his does which makes the process easier he was able to get my reduction covered, and hernia repair so I am only paying the remaining amount of the full tummy tuck.

That's really nice that you are able to submit your surgeries through your insurance, my husband would love that. I have no idea if I have a hernia but my stomach protrudes a bit. I don't know if you have noticed but I think it's hard to find local surgeons who have before and afters of breast reduction surgery, that makes me a but nervous to move forward . I am hoping to have my surgeries this upcoming summer so I have a few months to have consults and lose a few pounds prior to surgery.

My kids have had colds and now I have it. I sure hope it is gone by next week. I've about got all my Christmas shopping done and wrapped.
I had my initial consult at 200 lbs 2 months after my baby was born and my boobs were still full with milk. My surgeon decided to remove 650 cc each side I am now 160 lbs I think he still wants to remove 600 cc a lot off the sides. I ready to be smaller but will they be gone? Sort if freaking out right now.

I can see a big difference although I have looked under the dressing. I fogot to ask how much was taken out. I just know my chest is small. I'll put pics up when I can as for now I am going to sleep.
