43 Years Old, Breastfed for Total of 4 Years, Ready to Lighten my Burden!

WORTH IT
I am nervous, excited, terrified, relieved...all at once. I suspect this surgery brings a real mix of emotions. My surgery is only three days away!
I was a 34 D in High School, now a 36F after two pregnancies and a total of four years breastfeeding my two sons. I have chronic neck and back pain and get strange chest muscle spasming due to the big bras I have to wear that compress my chest.
I did get insurance approval with Regence to pay for my surgery.
I really appreciate all the stories, photos and honest sharing. I can't imagine going into this without the amazing support of other women who have gone before...what did we do before the internet? :)

I went for a jog today, bolstered in my enormous sports bra. This is the last time I will ever be tortured by it!

Thx Peediewife, I have!

Good Luck, hope all goes well! Let us know how you get on. Think of all those teeny sports bras you'll be buying for your runs really soon-so exciting! Mines in June so have a few more works outs with 2 bras all strapped in to go!

All the very best! It must be a crazy mix of emotions but as my father always says, 'steady at the helm'. My op is 19th May. Take care :-)
