Hello everyone! First and foremost I just want to say how much I LOVE this site!! It has helped me be more confident in my decision to get a breast reduction.
Okay, so I am 23 years old, 145lbs, athletic build, small frame with 32HHH/36F breast!!!
Like most of you I've always had big breast growing up. In high school I was 115lbs and a DD. I was very athletic as well, I did cheer and ran track and my boobs was ALWAYS in the way. After high school of coarse every woman starts to gain weight and so I did. But with weight gain my breast got bigger too! And with a small frame I have constant shoulder and back pain!! I would cry some nights just because of this pain.
During this time I would visit my doctor over and over about the pain. She referred me to do so many things like Yoga, Physical Therapy, and work outs to help my back stronger to help support my breast. I did that for a whole year and of coarse it did not work. I lost weight everywhere else but my boobs!!! Then my doctor said my best bet is a BR. So she refured me to a plastic sergeon within my medical company and I scheduled a consultation.
At the consultation, my PS measured me, asked me what I wanted, what were my problems, and took pictures. Another thing I loved about my PS was that he was totally honest with me. He really made sure I was 100% with my decision. Overall I loved how my PS was listening to what I wanted and my concerns. My parents loved him as well which is always a plus. After the appt. the receptionist said they will give me a call when they've sent off my measurements and pictures to my insurance.
2 days later the PS office called to tell me they sent it off and souls hear back soon. At this point I was beyond excited but nervous at the same time.
3 weeks later I get a letter from my insurance. I was too scared to open it so I let my mom open it first. I didn't want to look at her expression so I looked away until she put the letter in my face. It read "You have been Approved for the following procedure: Breast Reduction surgery" I nearly passed out!!! I couldn't believe it!!
I called my PS office and they were so happy and excited for me. It was awesome. They asked me what was a good time I thought I could do it. I said in August a month after I come back from vacation. So we scheduled for Friday August 21st at 7:30AM!!! The office mailed me a bunch of paperwork on what to do before the surgery date as far as Viatmens and keeping my body healthy for a speedy recovery.
So now it's the matter of time to wait! Ugh I can't wait guys! I'm beyond excited! Can't wait to keep you guys updated and let me know if you have questions!!

Just a quick update.
My surgery is next month(August) !!! I'm beyond excited. I'm mostly nervous about going under and the pain level when I wake up. I've been so active trying to get my body more fit before the surgery. I heard if you take care of your body then you'll have a speedy recovery. Idk of its true but it's nice to get back into working out and eating more healthy. I've also been taking multivitamins every day. My PS recommended taking Viatamin C and/or multivitamins once a day everyday before the surgery, so that it'll help my body heal faster. So yes guys I'm so dedicated to this surgery it's no joke lol. I'll keep you guys updated and until next time.

I am so excited for you.. I just had my surgery June 29.. I was in a lot of pain the first couple of days, but it's been a week now and the pain is very minimal. It is just hard to take deep breaths. But I am so happy with my results. I was a 34G.. Now I am a 34D I feel so much better.. Like I don't feel the heaviness of my breast anymore.. Your going to do great good luck!
July 8, 2015
You sound like me... I've been working out, taking vitamins, getting more sleep and trying to eat healthier for the last month! Oh and drinking at least 72 oz of water a day. I feel so much better! Except for this dang shoulder pain :-P

It's hard to work out with heavy breast but it'll help in the long run. Good luck!

I'm just on the bike for 40 minutes at least 5 days a week... so not much jarring. SOOOO hot though and my shoulders hurt.

Hi So excited for you. May I ask how tall you are? I am 5'2.75 " trying to get closer to goal weight for old lady 66 yrs. I hope to get to 145 in the next 3-4 months. Did they say lose a certain amount prior to surgery ? Mine are hanging low low after 2 child's and weight gains. Plus having breasts to big since Jr high. They don't fit my frame. Wishing you the best. Terri

Quick Question
Neesh1July 9, 2015
Hey guys quick question.
There's a concert that my favorite artis is headlining. The concert is exactly a month after my surgery. My mom thinks I'm crazy for buying the tickets already because I don't know the condition I will be in.
So do you guys think it's too early to go to a concert or will I be ok?
Note: The concert is at a NBA stadium so it does have seats, and I'll be returning to work 3 days after the concert anyways.
Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

I think you should take your time. Its really going to be a judgement call.I would buy the tickets and then,if you feel up to it go, but if not stay home and you could sell them to someone.Just remember tho, that you will be in a large crowd and bumping into people could cause some discomfort,but if you are still willing to go, take some pain meds with you to be on the safe said.I am very happy for you!

I really think that it will be up to how you feel.. I am 2 weeks post op.. And I feel great I still have some pain but I get tired really quick.. But I think in a month you should be ok.. But I would take it easy

Omg, this is the exact reason I moved my surgery date! I was going to do July 28, and my boyfriend went with me to meet the surgeon, so when I asked him if that date worked, he reminded me we were going to a Lollapalooza after show on 8/1, and I knew I couldn't go just 4 days post-op! He said he could sell the tix, but we really want to see this band, so I scheduled it for 8/4. I think a month post BR is pretty do-able, but definitely listen to your body. Rest up as much as you can that day, and bubble wrap your chest if necessary! ;-)

So funny...one of my favorite bands is playing 7 days after my surgery date and I almost thought about changing my date so I could go. Nice to see that music is on the top of other people's lists too! LOL
