I had my first child at 19, and gained 40 lbs, seems like I never quite lost all the weight with each child, and always seemed to gain about 40 each time. I have not liked my boobs for quite some time, but now with menopause, they seem to have grown in leaps and bounds. I use to be a 34C, and have been all over the board but recently in my Wacoal bra, I am a 34G !! UGH. The shoulder grooves have been there forever it seems, and the weight of my girls have lately taken it's toll on my back, with annoying pain between my shoulder blades. Sometimes the grooves in my shoulders ached so bad, I would have to move my straps one way or the other to actually get some relief.
I got the courage to talk to my husband about getting a reduction, and he's all for it. We have great insurance, and he said if that was covered "go for it". Then I was concerned about being out of proportion, so I will add a tummy tuck, which isn't covered, but he's fine with that now too.
I have stalked this site since I have googled my questions, and this site came up. It's been one of the BEST things I've found, and yes, I'm quite obsessed with all the stories.
I am hoping to end up with a C cup, I've been in to see the PS twice now, once for just the reduction, and the last time was to consult about a TT, and to see if I can do both at the same time. NO implants will be put in, as I do NOT want those for me.
The first consult (July 30th) the PS talked about the anchor procedure, and I saw pictures or their patients. I also had my pictures taken, which is just horrendous, but needed for insurance purposes.
The second consult (Oct 22) was for the tummy tuck questions, and more pictures were taken UGH.
I also have a gall bladder scar that has to be taken into consideration as the PS has to work around that, so he said my scar might start a bit higher than the real low kinds, which is fine, since I won't wear a bikini at my age anyway. Dr. then talked about the lollipop procedure, and I've been stalking that procedure now. LOL I can't seem to upload my pictures, and I'm not sure why, so I'll continue working on that.
I'm very active, and have a physical job, so I'm planning on taking the month of Feb. off, which seems so far away, but will probably get here quicker than I realize.
When I first went in to see the PS I was 160 lbs, (I'm 5'4"), and now I'm at 155, hoping to get to 150 by surgery time.
I'm extremely nervous, and am starting to have dreams of a botched surgery, but I guess that's just normal. I'm also hoping I'm mentally prepared for the change in my future body, as for years I've covered up my body, and IF I wear something slightly tight, I usually have a sweater, or a vest to help cover me up. I also feel extremely guilty for doing this, and will have to work through that too.
Otherwise THANK YOU Ladies for all of your pictures, and suggestions and stories, to help all of us futures get through this!!

This is difficult to post, but I know how much it helps me to see others and how dramatic the changes are. It's helpful to compare.

You are going to love your results, for myself the difference of having smaller boobs was just miraculous, it will remind you of your youth when they were 34C!! It feels amazing and clothes are so much easier to find and wear.
Re using gelatin in a smoothie...remember to get the green 'great lakes' container cos that's the one that doesn't set like jello ..the orange container is for literally making jello. I use the green container gelatin often for making smoothies...it's a great protein source and what they call a protein sparer, so perfect for when you are healing from surgery and your body needs the extra protein for repair. It's relatively tasteless too. Haha...god I can harp on about food and nutrition....I know people get sick of me LOL
I'll keep my eye open for your review :)
