Breast Reduction, The Start of Something New! - Virginia

I have 5 days left with my 40G boobs.

When I was a baby my mom said she could tell I was going to be "blessed" with large breast. I didn't really notice until I entered 7th grade with a bra size at 38DD. I was known as the girl who had huge boobs. I started getting bad pain in my lower back every time I bent down, but I ignored it. I had been playing soccer since I was 4 years old,and as I got older I lost weight, but not in my chest. I always had to wear at least 6 sport bras to keep my boobs from smacking me in the face when I ran. haha. After some college I had my daughter. My boobs only went up a cup size. I tried working out but never lost weight in my boobs. With all the back pain, all the rashes between and under my boobs, I decided to get the reduction I had been waiting for.

I am 20 yrs old now and my surgery is on 11/9/11...Although I am happy and excited, I am also terrified! I have mixed feelings from what people have told me and from what I have researched. I hate being in pain, so I am trying to prepare myself for this.
:/

So today I went shopping to get my surgical bra. I was supposed to get one on my doctors web site but couldn't find the link for it. His receptionist tried to find it to be we failed. So I went to JC Penny and found a sports bra that zips up in the front. I didn't know what size to get so I just got the biggest size they had, which was a 40DD. My nurse said to not get one my size or one too big, but I'm nervous if the one I got will be too small for my swollen boobs after surgery. I think I should bring it by my Drs. office to see what he thinks. Hopefully it will be fine because my surgery is only 4 days away!
-Ill post a pic of the zip up bra, let me know if you have any thoughts about it.

Tonight is the last time I will have my 40G boobiesss.. I am very excited, nervous, scared and sad. I am sad because my boobs are who I am, what makes me, me..in a way. But tmrw when I wake up from my surgery it wil be a new me. The same me on the inside, but a new me on the outside. It has given me motivation to become healthy, loose weight, look great, and feel great! This is only the beginning, simply The start of something new! See ya on the "small size" ;)
