WORTH IT
Hi, I'm a 33 year old mom of two precious twin toddler girls. I have been struggling with my breasts since i started to grow them (about 9-10, yes, earlier then normal). When i was about 13 I had bigger breasts then my friends, and one day i was walking down the street when an older man told me : "nice [RS bleep]" and kept on walking. I was so embarrased, I rushed home and cried all evening to my grandma, who also was a large chested woman (but her response always was "Be happy with what God gave you". So if she was alive, she probably wouldnt approve what im about to do). So, after that, i was wearing bigger clothes and would hunch over to make my breasts appear smaller. I had to search for bras that could support my breasts, with thick shoulder straps and 4 or more hooks on the back.When i was about 14, i started to get horrible migraines, never could pinpoint the cause.(Recently learned that could be my breasts causing it). Any physical activity i have to strap myself in two tight bras. Ive developed deep groves in my shoulders and shopping for clothes is just a pathetic experience. I have had back pains since probably junior high. Id always ask my mom for back rubs, then around college years i started going to chiropractor. Thats when i first heard of breast reduction. I told my mom, so happy, that there is a solution...well, my mom had a different responce, she said that i should wait till after i have kids and after i breastfeed them. Being a good daughter that i am, i listened, and it made scence. Well, the kids didnt happen till i was 29. While pregnant my 36 DD went to 40 G. I breastfed my girls and statred to think about reduction again. My mom, being the wise one, yet again told me i should wait till girls grow up a little or i will be hit and poked from every angle by little hands and feet. (Needless to say, i had eye surgery when they were 1 1/2 y.o. and they did alway manage to poke me right in the eyes.) My breast did "deflate" back to 36 DD, still have back pain, migraines and self esteem problems. Finally, my kids are 4 and more understanding, my insurance approved and i have my operation scheduled on july 17th of this year (with my moms full support) :D. My doctor is Michael J. White from Pittsburgh, PA. He is American Board Certified with 32 years of experience. He seems very knowlegable, nice and professional. I have my pre-op appointment this coming Tuesday (4/27/17 and i have a humangous question list to take with me). Im starting to panic a little bit, but yet super excited. If you interested on what to expect or you looking for info on this doctor, i will keep you updated on all the steps i will take on this journey to smaller breasts. Thanks :)

Pre-op Appointment

Today was my last pre-op appointment. It went very well. Asked my surgeon all the questions i could think of, and he explained everything to me in detail. I didnt feel rushed and i definately trust my surgeon. Today i learned that i will probably need to take out 400-450cc and i will be a nice full C cup. (Now i need to work on my tummy lol). I will not need drainage tubes and i will need to stay over night though. The presidure takes about 3 hrs and then recovery room. I am very excited and cant wait. C cup is exactly what i wanted (my hubby wanted D, but what would be the point, id probably still have back pain. So C is great). So last time i forgot to include my " before" pictures. Here they are.

Wishing you the best. I am still looking for a doctor to do this in late August, but I am also a DD (post menopause), hoping to go back to my pre-children C cup. I think you'll be happier going a bit smaller (C rather than D). Best of luck, sending happy healing vibes your way!

Today I received the news that the hospital I was supposed to get my surgery at can't accomodate my surgeon on monday July 17th, but instead on Friday 21st. So hopefully nothing else changes. I am starting to get very nervous and yet super excited. I cant wait to get it over with and start feeling better with less weight in my chest.
