WORTH IT

I found this website and I am amazed how unalone I feel now. I was the first to get boobs. And boy the boobie fairy hit me good with her boobie dust!. I am petite with a smaller frame. A bit fluffy but for the most part nothing a good few months of good exercise and activity won't fix. I was blessed with H cups. Even at my thinnest I still wore a 36 f. Actually I should have been wearing a 34 G but we all know how hard it is to get bras that fit. I have been buying my bras online since college. I have back pain, neck pain, and not mention migraines too. I didn't go to the doctor alot as i know the usually routine would be to medicate me with pain killers and muscle relaxers. Now that I am 36 I decided that it will be best to do something about the back pain so I can excercise and be more active without the big boobies holding me back. I got my approval and things are moving fast. My surgery is next week, Sept 25th. I am anxious and nervous for the results. I will have to take some pictures and post them for you all. Good luck with all your journeys and happy healing!

Ok girls. Surgery is Tuesday. Omg Im starting to get anxious to get it over with. I just watched a video of an actual breast reduction. Wow thank god for the sedatives they will give me so I won't be tempted to run away. LOL I just finished cleaning and getting things set up around the house today. Tomorrow I will bleach and clean the bathrooms. It will be nice to come home and recover in a clean home I think lol. Netflix is set up in the bedroom and I've got some movies to watch.

Just a few questions for you all:

1. Whats the sports bras you all bought to wear. I saw the champion ones at Target and thought they seemed like they would work but I wasn't sure. I am getting the anchor incisions so I am worried about irritating underneath the breast while I am healing.

2. And for those of you that are in advanced recovery stage. How did the underwires feel to you when you tried one for the first time afterwards. ( I'm thinking time and patience on the bra purchases for a while lol ) but wow I cant wait.

I was wearing underwires on a daily basis at about 3 months. I thought I would never wear one again, but I guess I'm so use to them that I just don't feel comfortable without one on. But the thing is they don't feel so bothersome anymore!

My PS gave me a "sort-of" bra at the hospital, but it was more just something to hold the dressings in place. At home when I was cleaning that one I would use an ACE wrap around me. I liked that alot because I could control the amount of compression. I have a picture on my review of a white sports bra from Wal-Mart that I used for the bulk of my healing. My PS said it was just fine and it did provide some compression without being too restrictive. I think ever doc is different in what they recommend. I wish there were some guidelines as to what we should buy though!

Sounds like you've got the preparations under control. You should be all set for your recovery. So anxious for you :-D

Ok I finally loaded some pics. Omg I think there might be a waistline in there somewhere...hmmm.

Tomorrow is the surgery. Im scheduled for 10 but have to be there around 8 so I guess I will be the second in line. That's ok with me as I will be staying in the hospital over night and getting good meds while I am there. I will update you all again when I am up and about.
