I Can't Believe It's Actually Gonna Happen! - Toronto, ON

Hello! I am 21 yrs old and I have absolutely hated my [RS bleep] ever since I've had them. I developed early and I'm pretty sure I was the first one of my classmates. I've thought about doing it before when I was about 16 and I even called some places to ask questions. As much as I wanted to do it back then, I was scared to and it really seemed impossible.

Where I live, getting a breast reduction is covered. I am so surprised at how easy it has been and how quickly it's been moving along. I finally have my surgery date. It is going to be on the 21st of this month!!! Woohoo!!

I just want it to be over with so badly so I can start recovering. I am getting so impatient about it and it's just so hard to wait but this website has been sooooo helpful and encouraging!! Thank you so much!!

About 2 weeks until the big day! I am really excited but more calm than I thought I would be while waiting for the days to go by. I`m really surprised how fast the days are moving along.

Everything has been so perfect so far and that makes me worry a little because nothing ever works out perfectly for me and this all seems too good to be true! I am waiting nervously expecting that something will happen and get in the way of my breast reduction. I know I really should think negatively like this but I can`t help it sometimes. I`ll just keep reminding myself about all the good things.

I have my pre op appointment tomorrow so I`m excited to have that done and out of the way.

I got my blood test stuff done the other day and I bought a sports bra that zips in the front because I was told I need to buy my own for after surgery. I also bought 3 genie bras so hopefully that will help me while I recover.

Nobody knows I am having this done except for 2 of my best friends and they have been supportive :) I am thinking of telling my brother since he is my best friend and we always tell each other everything but I think it`s probably not a good idea. I might consider telling him after it`s done. I don`t want anyone to try to talk me out of it.

I will not be recovering at home since it isn`t really the best environment for me to recover in. Thank goodness one of my best friends who I told has her own place and is more than happy to let me crash at her place for a few weeks while I recover. In that time, I plan to eat better to help me lose some weight. Hopefully I lose enough weight so that way if anyone notices I look different, I could tell them I lost weight and then they will leave me alone. Yay :)

I am currently DDD but probably bigger than that since my bras are so freaking tight. I don`t know how much will be taken out yet, but I hope to discuss it before surgery and let him know what I want. Anything below a D will make me happy.

Soooo excited!!! :D

Yesterday, I went to my pre op appointment and I was soooo nervous! I had some negative thoughts like maybe I shouldn't do this blah, blah, blah.. and then I kept reminding myself of how badly I've wanted this for so long so I tried to be brave.

I talked to a lady who I'm guessing is a nurse and she tried to check my pressure and it said I'm extremely low and she freaked out and I told her don't worry it's probably because I didn't eat yet for the day and she seemed a little mad at that because it was almost 2 pm lol... so she tried to do it again and it wouldn't work so she left it and then told me the basic stuff like I can't eat or drink anything many hours before and that I have to get there 2 hours before the surgery time. She asked me if I knew about getting my own front closure bra a size down from my current size and I told her that I already got one. It's a cheap, not so strong sports bra but it will have to work because I don't know where else to get another one as I've already looked around and I'm almost completely broke.

After she was done with me, I had to wait for a long while to see the anesthesiologist. He looked over my paper stuff and asked a few questions about allergies or diabetes and he said that I seem to be healthy and everything should be fine. He said the only concern is that I'm over weight but it's ok because they have special pillows to keep me upwards a little especially for that purpose. Weird, but whatever. I guess he knows his stuff. He told me that I will get pain killers for after.

It was quite a brief meeting and everyone was nice :) I can't believe in less than 11 days I will be back there and I will be on the other side :)


On the day of the surgery I have to give them my friends phone number so they could call her to pick me up. She has night classes so they will have to keep me there until she is done but the good thing is I was told that my surgery would be in the evening and it's the last one for the day. They still didn't give me the time though. My friend will be taking me to her place and we are taking public transit. That makes me a little nervous but it's alright because I will finally have gotten rid of these huge, saggy boobs I`ve hated since forever! :D
