WORTH IT$2,500
Hey guys,
Im a 19 year old athlete from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I am 5'6 , 125 pounds and a size 1. I am currently a 32DD and I cant take it anymore . The back pain is painful and the discomfort is excruciating. I feel so uncomfortable with myself because of my size . Looking back at my prom pictures , I can clearly see that my size is not proportionate with my body. It pretty much looks like someone like Mischa Barton with Dolly Parton's bust. So , after 3 years of deliberation, Ive decided to finally go through with my BR . The surgery date is April 24th. Im super scared but I know it will be worth it in the end. A few people have said ,"wait until after you have had kids "but honestly , having kids is the last thing that's on my mind, Im not even sure if I want kids. As selfish as this may sound , I dont think it makes sense to put my comfort on the back burner for something that might not even happen. This BR will be an early 20th birthday present to myself. I want to enter adulthood being comfortable with my body.
Ill be sure to keep you guys updated in April. If anyone has any comments , suggestions etc please feel free I need all the reassurance I can get .
XOXO

Being younger myself (I'll be 19 in July) everyone's always telling us to wait because they might still grow or what if we want kids. I believe it matters how we feel right now and in this present time! Good luck with your surgery - can't wait to hear how it goes :)

Good luck! The only thing I would have done differently is to have the surgery sooner.

I have heard amazing things about your surgeon! This will be a wonderful change for you!

I've been reading some more reviews on here and eabrg659's review struck me. She said her doctor told her it would take 6 months to get back to her normal life. Now Im scared . I need to be back in the gym in 6-8 weeks tops. Was anyone able to return to working out within this time?

I have read some reviews and some people get back to working out a 6 weeks. But I would guess it is low impact. I am at 3 weeks and there is no way I would feel comfortable doing anything that pulls on the chest or causes bounce.

i would plan for the 8 weeks, you have to think long term. the more you rest and take it easy post op, the better you will heal. I was back swimming at 7 weeks, you should be able to do some gym work for your lower body around 6 weeks.

I returned to my normal workouts after six weeks. 5km running, 1.5 hr boot camp classes, weight training, aerobics classes, I did it again at six weeks. If something felt a little off, like shoulder presses, I would take it easy. Six weeks will fly by. Listen to your body and you'll be fine.

It seems that many 18 to 19 year olds bounce back quicker than those of us over 50 (big surprise!). The most important thing is to talk with your surgeon. Many allow a return to the gym by 4 weeks. I think it also depends on how big a reduction you have. It is generally easier to have 200-300 grams removed than 1-2 kg....
