I met with three doctors in the weschester Ny area. Opted for the one who spent the most time with me. Looking back I don't ever remember being smaller then a D cup. It was always a struggle to find tops. From regular shirts, button downs. When I did wear a bikini top it was always a hassle also. Most of you already know all this.. Very excited for my upcoming surgery. I believe it will be life changing as most of you say!!! I will post pictures of the after results.

I feel your pain. I'm in the process of trying to get approved for a reduction under medical purposes vice cosmetic as well. I'm seeing a main management specialist and going to physical therapy. I guess just trying to get all the cheeks in the box so my insurance has no questions and approves my surgery request. I'm pretty petite, 5'2, 120-125lbs and I'm a 30GG in Fantasie brand. Did you have to go through any of this for your insurance or are you paying out of pocket for your surgery? Well, only a few days to go! I'm looking forward to hearing how everything goes and wishing you a speedy recovery! Thanks for your story and good luck. Laura

Hi Laura. From the first doctor I saw he told me he'd get me covered. I said how do you know and his reply was" people get covered with breast smaller then yours!" You will too. Yes, I have great insurance and got everything covered.

I read there are reductions with Lipo only and no cutting, but that is for women going down a few cup sizes, like no more than 3. Anymore than that, the Lipo only procedure isn't really going to provide the lift results you would need. The excess tissue would be gone, but the excess skin would just be hanging there, so you wouldn't look right. I'm in physical therapy and doing exercises to strengthen my back, but I still get that ache in the middle of my back doing simple things like washing dishes. Reductions for some women are just inevitable.

Best of luck for your surgery, people shouldn't try to put you off doing it. I am very much like you in size and at 47 years old had enough of them, I have my referal in but might take some time to get this through the insurance. Good luck and can't wait to hear how it went.

Thank you for thinking I am blessed lol. Even at 127 lbs I couldn't support these boobs!! They red clothing I dream of wearing and can't. They're waiting for me in my closet!!! I've worked out big time. It's time ! Now! Can't wait for this lift not only in the breast but in everything.

Oh WHOOP! You will be a veteran by the time I get wheeled down the hall. Good luck and congratulations in advance. One friend told me that her first glance at her new boobs was right up there with seeing the face of her child for the first time. HA!

Congratulations you little tittied woman!

You obviously are a man who does not understand what it is like to live with the pain of big breasts. I think you need to stop telling these women what to do and mind your own business until you can walk a mile in their shoes and know the pain that they feel.

I've trained dozens of women who had that problem as in "pain" and the exercises work, that's all I'm saying, now if they just tired of them being big I'm all for it.

@mustang 90 I've worked out. My husband is a personal trainer. With a body that can be in the cover of men's health. It's really a personal matter. That's all.

Done and recovering

I had my surgery on Monday. Today is Sat. I instantly felt 100 lbs lighter. I wasn't looking to be small. I feel very small now. The most important thing is the lightness I feel in my upper body. It's quite incredible. Recovering from this surgery was not easy. I didn't have much help so I'm sure that was a factor. The doctor said I'd have no pain. He did say I'd feel pressure. The pressure was so extreme. I felt like I was dying . I thought I might have to go to hospital. Along with it I felt extremely weak. This is just my experience. I thank all of you for letting me know yours. Make sure you have a support system to just be there. I did have my friend do something called lymphatic drainage. It changed my life. After having surgery Monday, tues was an ok day the hell hit on Wednesday and some of Thursday. After the lymphatic drainage. I felt alive again. Thank you to all who've posted your reviews. Also to RS website. I am now a d cup. I used to be a g.

Hope you are feeling better.

Thank you!!! I appreciate it for asking! Tomorrow will be a week of my surgery. I woke up this AM and felt so much better. Yesterday I took my son to the movies and even though that seems like nothing by the time I came back I had pain. I took my last Codeine on Friday at 3 am. All day sat I've been only on minimum Advil or Tylenol. I probably should of definitely taken more then just one at a time. Before going to bed the pain in my head was bad. I took another Advil. Doctor said I could take 2 advils and two tylenols. You have got to becareful taking to much of this stuff. But you don't want to be in pain. I think I'm done with all today. Don t need it. Thank you for asking. Have you had BR??

do you wish you had gone smaller? I'm a G and going to a C in June. That's why I'm asking.
May 6, 2016
Hi! No I definitely do not wish I would've gone smaller. I am probably a large D I believe. I'm very happy! All my pain in my neck, headaches all are gone. I am so happy! Sorry to just get back.
