so I'm finally going to get what I deserve the big breasts reduction. I've been heavy chested as long as I can remember. I remember as a teenager being called Dolly Parton and now it's my time to be able to exercise without my arms going numb and my neck feeling like somebody hit me in it and without my back burning and me wanting to cry cause I can't move. Although I'm scared out of my mind, I'm at peace with the girls going bye bye and because my date is so fast approaching even though they told me it wouldn't be until September, I'm ready. But I'd like to know from some of you women out there that have already done it what exactly to expect and what things am I going to need?

I can relate to what you've been through and I hope all is going well for you. My procedure is Sept 23, 2015. I too am nervous, but it's a chance I am willing to take just to feel some kind of relief and normalcy. All I can think about is how much better I will feel, how well my clothes will fit without using safety pins to secure my buttons and for heaven's sake, no more wearing shrugs, sweaters, jackets, and cardigans just to hide these dark ugly shoulder marks and thick bra straps underneath my summer dresses. It's definitely a sacrifice I am willing to take.

No major issues or complaints besides being pulled really right& that burning sensation. At 1st glance I thought oh no in too small for my wide shoulders but I now realize he had the tapped tight & they'll have to drop into place. Let's how the do cause they're crazy looking right now. Haven't done anything but sleep, guess I needed that anyway. I have drains& can't wait for then to be gone next week cause they're in the way.

Have you started itching? And are your drains still in? I am no longer taking the Tylenol 3's . Cause I don't really feel no pain just tight as you said. I'm not sure if we should be expecting some pain or if it's already over.

No itching yet &yes the pesty drains are still in. Since it's the weekend I'm stuck with them. The meds are gone with the exception of motrin for the inflammation. How are you feeling about your new girls? Mines are weird looking right now so I'm hoping for the best.

I'm actually liking how they look. They are full but small. In fearful that once they stop into place that they won't do nice and full but I really like the look of them right now. I'm still a little swollen in the sides if my underarm but not much. Are you moving around much? I sat up and played some uno with the family for a little while today but got tired and sat back on the couch. I'm really already tired of the bed and the couch and hoping that early next week my breast will not feel so stiff and a little more normal. Sending blessings your way!

I'm enjoying being "lazy" cause I'm always on the go with a 5yr old and plenty of over time . lol. I thank God for my mom's she's been here the whole time although she'll be leaving by this weekend with the kid . yayyy 1 less worry. Blessings to you also!

Congratulation. I'm sure you already feel the difference. I hope you heal quickly. Can't wait to hear more about your surgery. What size or amount removed?
June 13, 2015
Thank you. I noticed they're gone but because I'm pulled so tight I have that heavy breathing going on right now. I didn't get a chance to question the dr, cause at that moment when we spoke I was only worried about the pain I was feeling. I'll keep the updates coming
