Nervous in Toronto, ON

I am 32 and for most of mY life I have had big boobs for as long as i can remember. I never thought I would ever get a breast reduction, but I was diagnosed with sciatica approximately two years ago and many physio sessions later the back pain is still severe and starting to affect my right leg. I also have numbness in my right arm...ironically the right boob is the larger one. My doctor brought up the topic of doing a BR a year ago and I dismissed it. I wasn't ready! My change of heart came at the end of November 2013, I went shopping for a Christmas party dress and couldn't find anything that fit right. I broke down, came home and called my family doctor. I had my consultation on January 7th, my pre-op on February 24th and my blood work is booked for MArch 6th and surgery on March 18th. I am so nervous, I have spent hours on this site...I go to bed with you ladies and wake up with you ladies, that's when I actually sleep. I am experiencing so many emotions, but this is necessary. I looked at the size of my ONE bikini this morning which I bought at a store that allows mixIng and matching...the bottom is a size 6 and the top is a size EIGHTEEN. Yup I need this. I have a vacation coming up and will be all too excited to fit in a regular bikini. Just praying all goes well LOL. Promise to add pics later :)

You will do so fine.. it was the best decision I made.. honestly.. I had 2 csection and that recovery was easier than the c-sections.. I was a 34DDD probably and now I dont know I am at my 8 weeks recovery I need to go get measured but I did try a tankini and my surprise was a size 8-10 was fitting on me OMG that was amazing.. :) March 18th is my girl birthday so everything will go fine :)

Thank you...I wrote a pretty detailed update this morning that is not showing up. I am hoping it just needs to be moderated. :( I am doing pretty well surprisingly. I haven't taken any Tylenol 3s today, just regular Advil and Tylenol. The administrator at the surgeon's office called earlier today to see how I was doing and was shocked at how upbeat I sounded. I know I will have good days and not so good days, but right now I am feeling pretty awesome :)

not feeling the greatest

Not feeling great today, I am itchy, burning and tight all around. Guess it is a part of the healing process. On the bright aide my appetite is back and I have been going to the washroom :)

keep moving about a bit but no lifting, pulling or stretching. what sort of dressings do you have on?
March 21, 2014
A very clear dressing, not sure what it is called I will ask when I see my PS on Tuesday. I have been moving around quite a bit...maybe too much. Lol
