A not so happy story....

I am 20 years old, and am currently a size 36I, and my doctor is going to reduce my breasts to 36C. My breasts are very saggy and my aerolas have slipped down and have stretched out to a huge size, not to mention I have had severe back problems for several years now, therefore a breast reduction is the next logical step. I am tired of having to keep excess weight on my body, so I can carry my horrible breasts around. I used to be active and fit, but now all my life is serving to my boobs, so I realise that for me it isn't as much a choice as a necessity. I am however, beyond scared as my surgery is in just a few days and I've never had a surgery before, but I am really looking forward to all the great things that the surgery will bring me. I will keep you all updated as I go through with this on Tuesday, the 7th.

So tomorrow is surgery day, so I'm attaching some pictures to this review, so all of you can see how big my boobs really are. I think by now I have seen every possible story of breast reduction available online and seen every youtube video on it.... so I guess you could say that I'm pretty nervous. I am more excited than anything though. I have been waiting for this for so long, I can't wait to not have the backpain and not have to squeeze myself in bras that don't fit and not to have all the other problems too. I am slightly worried that my doctor hasn't given me much instructions, but he is supposed to be one of the best ones in the country, so I guess I will have to trust his expertise. I haven't been told to wash myself with anti-bacterial soap or to do any other preparation, really. I am, however, trying to still do all I can to ensure a speedy recovery. Luckily, my best friend and my boyfriend both will be there with me for the surgery, and my best friend's mum being a doctor herself, I am a little bit more at ease, because I know that I will get the help I need if anything goes wrong. I have had quite the weekend, as my tooth started to suddenly act up and I had to get my root canals cleaned and the whole tooth area is still quite sensitive, but I am trying to not let anything put me down. Also, just my luck, period is due to begin... yes, you guessed it - right before my surgery. Fun times, huh? Anyhow, I am nervous about the pain, but as my anesthesiologist told me to try to remain calm to not cause an asthma attack, I am trying to focus on what's at hand now and keeping myself busy. Will let you all know how the surgery went, when I feel well enough to go online and type all the experiences. :) Good luck to me, and good luck to all those who are getting their surgeries done this week too! p.s. Really can't wait to see those C-cups, it's been a while (last time I was a C-cup, I was 13) .

Sitting in the car, driving to the hospital at the moment, thought I might as well update the few pre-op pictures some of you asked for. Here we go.

Nervous, but excited.
