Hey hey hey beautiful women!!

I've always been heavier chested then most of my peers through my schooling days as I completed basic training into my 20s I stood at a friendly C then D cup. After having a miscarriage then my daughter within 6 months span, they filled all the way up to a DDD and 10 months later they are 36 DDD (According to the Hanes outlet where I get my bras). I decided to get on the Nexplanon implant after giving birth and my weight wouldn't budge frI'm 190, which was very depressing being I was 209 until I gave birth! After removing the Nexplanon(the devil) bc of weight gain and mood swings, I was able to lose 10 pounds and then 10 more so now I am down to 178.00 whooooohooo!! But bc of my breast size and weight for the last 6 months I have not been able to run for distances to help expedite the process of losing. I finally got down to the requested BMI to be considered for plastic surgery and one look from the doctor he decided I would benefit significantly from a reduction! Everyone I tell about the reduction says omg that's going to hurt lol I'm not too concerned about the pain Im really excited about the recovery process and being able to shop for what I like verses what my breast will look modest in :(

Its a lot less painful than people imagine. It is fat and not muscle that is taken away so although it is a big surgery it is for most people very manageable - you will have good painkillers for as long as you need them (but they are rough on your system so hopefully you wont need them for long.) I am very glad I had this op and I wish you luck!

hello blue: i am from NYC and received some disheartening news, my original doctor was no longer in my health insurance network so i would either pay out of pocket or pay the difference or find a new doctor. i decided to find another doctor. i stumbled on to this site and signed up and began reading the amazing stories, wealth of information and suggestions or tips. i am beginning to feel like my original doctors departure from my health insurance may have been a blessing because i now see how UNprepared i was until i came on this site. Also the questions i need to be asking. So now i am back on my quest to find a new Doctor and i have my first Consultation on 9/23/14. I will be setting up more too. So hang in there and hope to be reading and sharing more POST.

I had my reduction on sept 10 and found the first 2 days to be painful but not horrible and then better every day after that. It's a bit uncomfortable but well worth it. Good luck!

Thank you so much I really try the pending reduction really helped me with a lot I've been battling mentally regarding my body. Once they are smaller I can concentrate on other areas until then I'll just continue to lose weight! Lol
