I have been dreaming of a breast reduction for as long as I can remember. I finally went for my consultation at the end of May. I was approved by my insurance within 3 weeks. I have secretly reading this forum for the past several months and I finally decided to post my own story. When I woke up this morning I realized I only have 2 weeks till surgery and if I want to post I better do it now.

A little history: I am 32 years old 5"1' and developed young. I currently 34 DDD, I can stand to lose 30 lbs and I can't wait to be able to run again. I could never find a correct size sports bra for me. For the past 3 years I have been living at my chiropractors office getting neck and back adjustments. As soon as i start to exercise my neck goes out of alignment. I know its from wearing the wrong type of sports bra and my breasts being too big. I am praying that this surgery will take care of it.

I have put off having this surgery for several years waiting till after I had children, but unfortunately life doesn't always turn out the way you plan and my husband passed away two years ago. We didn't have children and I didn't want to wait any longer. I don't want to be one of those women who wished they had it when they were younger. But truthfully I am kind of kicking myself for not having it done in my twenties.

I was at wedding last night and all I did was pull up the front of my dress. I am so sick of my bra showing and me flashing people by accident.

I am going on Thursday for my pre-op and I need to discuss with my doctor the size that I want to be after surgery. He says D and I really want to be a C. I want to be able to wear strapless dresses and halter tops and so much more. I don't want to wake up and I wish I was smaller. Do you think I should push the issue?

I am having the lollipop procedure done. Can anyone tell me about the recovery time? Most of these posts concern the anchor procedure.

I am so excited to have this done I could cry. I am finally going to look like the person I always thought I should be.

Hey Ladies

I am going on Thursday for my pre-op and I need to discuss with my doctor the size that I want to be after surgery. He says D and I really want to be a C. I want to be able to wear strapless dresses and halter tops and so much more. I don't want to wake up and I wish I was smaller. Do you think I should push the issue?
