Hello all! I've been reading all the reviews...

Hello all! I've been reading all the reviews and stories and I just had to join! It's so encouraging and informative to have you ladies post here and share your journeys. I am a 28 year old mother of three girls. I have had big breast since I got my period in middle school, and by my senior year in highschool I was 118 and a 36 D. That increased to a 38 E/F over the course of 8 years, after Depo, three pregnancies, and almost 75lbs weight gain! Also came the back aches, headaches, neck pain, intercostal pain, and so on...the usual. I have been on my reduction journey for three years now, I got pregnant in Dec 2009, so it went out the window! I am an AF veteran (non retired of course) turned Air Force wife, so I am covered under Tricare Prime and medically qualified for a BR. I am currently 187lbs and I work out as aften as I can, from brisk walks to running/alternate walking at the gym. So I plan to continue to drop weight. My PS is Dr. Charles Malata and he is one of Britains leading PS. The hospital here on base referred me to his office. I had my consultation on the 3rd of April, and he pretty much pre-op'd me then...lol. He plans to take out 500 or a little more from each breast and I'll stay 2-3 days before I am released and the reigns are turned over to my husband ;) I am very excited and will take all the advice, encouragement, warnings, concerns, anything you have to offer! Thanks so much ladies and I'm glad to become part of the family here. Also, I am willing to take photos for a picture journey companion, anyone wanna give me the quick way to post pics? May God bless each and everyone of you, swift recoveries and safe surgeries to all who are taking the big step soon as well! Blessings!

Hello Ladies, I hope everyone is well! I am attempting to add a few before photos to be able to compare with after photos later. They are different poses to show my breast size currently, my body type, and such. Thanks for all you ladies do.

Hey Ladies, I did it!!! Bless the Lord...lol...I updated my before photos, with my husband's permission. You all just don't know how much your pics have helped me! I'd like to help others as well by posting all aspects of my journey. Seven days to go, and I am beyond excited! Ok, so the trick for the photos, in case anyone else runs into trouble: I switched browsers from Firefox to IExplorer, they uploaded fairly quickly after that change! You guys be blessed! I am also losing weight, so I guess you'll get to see that progress as well!

I highly recommend Dr. Malata for this procedure, for anyone living in the UK. I am American, but had to get a referral for Dr. Malata, as the hospital that I attend does not currently have an in house PS. Dr. Malata is VERY meticulous and answers EVERY question that you have with care and knowledge. He is attentive to the patient's needs, concerns, and wants. He definitely gives his all in what he does, and exercises his gifts and talents to the VERY best of his ability. If I could give Dr. Malata 100 stars, I would give him 200! I am very well pleased with my results and his staff. I have a 24 hour contact number for him that I received at my initial consult, for any questions, and as a patient now, for any emergencies or concerns that may arise, yes, Dr. Malata is that DEDICATED. I wish you all the best, and again, I highly recommend Dr. Charles Malata! ***Update: 3 years post op and Dr. Malata was so meticulous that I am able to breastfeed and pump breast milk for my newborn twins, well they are 7 weeks old. All is well!!***
