Hi, I am 27 years old 5'1 140lbs size 34H. I have pain in shoulders, neck and headaches. Currently, I can only find bras the fit at a store call "Intimacy" and they are VERY pricey. Last year I bought two bras from there and this year they dont fit!! I purchased another bra and sports bra this year and I'm doing good to still where them. Having a breast reduction is something that I have been considering since HS. At one point in time my breast "shrunk" along with my weight but as you all may know it's really hard to workout with large breast constantly attempting to slap you in the face lol....I digress. Since I know have a full-time job with insurance I have decided to follow through.
I did get approved to have my procedure done. It only took a week and it was a very simple process. The Dr's office took picture and wrote a detail letter and VOILA! Based on some type of scale (don’t remember the name) it is recommended that I have at least 350g removed from each with more from the left because it is larger. My goal size is a C-cup and I’m pretty sure I will have to have more than 350g removed. My surgeon says he cannot guarantee the size after surgery but he will try to get as close as possible.
I am going to attempt to work out again in order to lose weight. I eat pretty healthy as it is but I am watching my eating in an effort to help this process along. Since weight loss for does have some affect on my breast size I know this would be best to try to accomplish before surgery.
My surgery isn’t until Dec. 9th and I am anxious and nervous. I’m hoping I will have my mind wrapped around everything closer to the time. I know that the nerves may only increase between now and then.
I don’t have any kids and I’m not concerned about breast feeding. I’m mainly worried about the size increasing during pregnancy and what they will be like afterwards. As far as when I will get pregnant that’s not in the plans really soon I’m just wondering how that would all go.
I'll post photos closer to my surgery date. Thanks for reading; I look forward to hearing from everyone and updating in December!!

change will be an improvement however i want to be happy with the results. I'm concerned about the healing process as well as what size I will be. Hopefully when i go in on Thursday I will be a little more at ease when I leave. I need to think & write down all my questions so I won't forget anything.
I am so happy for you:) You will feel amazing once this weight is lifted from your chest. No more buying the expensive bras and being in pain.
I do not recommend you trying to drop any weight before surgery. Maintain your current weight and just stay healthy. Focus on exercise, eating healthy and getting some good sleep each night. You don't want to run yourself down before surgery. Also you were approved based on your current stats and you don't want to blow that with a weight loss.
After surgery you can focus on the weight loss if that is something you still want to do. I drooped all of my weight after my BR which only helped in shrinking my breasts more.
The date will be here quickly so hang on and get ready for the new breasts. I look forward to following your journey.
