I'm less than 48 hours away! My goals are to feel better about myself emotionally and physically. To not feel back/shoulder/neck pain or the digging of my bra straps on my shoulders to finally be able to wear a strapless top! I've waited long enough...I'm 44 and I finally decided that it's OK to do this for ME!. I didn't go through insurance to avoid all the hassles and approvals... I really got to work around my schedule. I weigh about 154, I'm 5'5 and I'm ready!

Day 2 of recovery
gisellafJune 14, 2015
I have been home recovering from my BR surgery and its been a lot harder than I thought. I know its still early but I guess I expected something less painful. The surgery was a full 5 1/2 hours!!! I don't know why it was so long, and I also woke up with a horrible pain in my arms. As if I were maybe being held up by my arms during the procedure. I couldn't stand the pain but it is now subsiding. Coming out of the anesthesia was a lot worst than I was expecting. I was vomiting and felt horrible. They kept me in recovery for over 6 hours til I no longer felt nauseuas. Tomorrow I get to see my surgeon and I get to ask her all these questions, but most importantly, I get to see what I look like!!! I can already feel the lightness of my upper body. Its just an incredible feeling to not feel so top heavy...Feeling super grateful for having done this. Will post pics as soon as I am able to, hopefully by tomorrow

Happier than I thought I would be! I'm actually ecstatic with the results and the recovery. I have basically stopped taking the pain killers and am only taking the antibiotics. It's really surreal to see my new breasts! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend getting this procedure done. Don't settle for big breasts, this WILL change your life! Tape will be removed in about 4 days, can't wait!

By the way, I got some cotton bras from target to use while I'm healing and I got them in a size medium!!!!! I know you were asking about size so I wanted to mention it. No wires and only cost me $11.99 vs the $65+ I would pay for my size E bras

What size did you go down to?? I'm a G cup. I went to see surgeon today and said he'd reduce me to a D. I'm not sure what a D is. This cup size thing can be confusing!

Don't even think about cups or sizes. Have your surgeon take you down from your current size and then I promise you that the number won't matter. What matters is the difference in how you feel from the moment you are in recovery. I instantly felt a relief in my back. And to be honest I still don't know what size I am now but I just know I'm so HAPPY!
