Florida, here I come! ????????????????

WORTH IT
My friends are always asking me to join them in Florida at their condo on Marco Island. My answer with varying excuses has always been "No, but thanks anyway". My secret reasoning has always been that Florida means a bathing suit and a bathing suit means people will see my big boobs! Well today they asked me again and I said "YES"....Florida here I come! ????????????????

Have fun in Florida! I live up in Orlando, but have been to Marco Island and it's gorgeous. I too am 2 months post op and wore a two piece bathing suit for the first time in at least 20 years. Don't look perfect, but it was so nice not to have to worry about my boobs hanging out and being stared at. Need to tone up the tummy but my new girls looked great! I can't believe how amazing it feels to not worry every day if something will fit or be inappropriate. Hope you enjoying the same thing. Have fun and let us know how amazing you feel sun bathing! And yes, it is actually fun to buy bras now!

Thank you! :) I can't say enough how much I love them and how good I feel. I will be thinking of you on Tuesday and sending good vibes your way. Let us know how you do! I promise you one thing.......you won't regret it! Make sure on the day of surgery you tell him again that you want to go as small as possible and preferably a B. :)

I have compiled a page of boobs that I plan to give him. :). And 2 of the pictures are from surgeries he completed! All Bs, or maybe small Cs. I'm also including a few "these would still be too big" pictures. He'll probably hate me :)

Hi, your PS didn't have you wear a bra either? I thought my PS was the only one who did this. I must say I hope I heal like you are healing as you look great. I just had the surgery on Tuesday so I'm only a few days out. Im still freaked out by the whole not having to wear anything. Did you find it odd? The first layer of tape fell off already. I go back on Monday so will see what the PS advises.

Today I went back to work after being off for 10 months!

Today was my first day back to work after 3 back surgeries and a breast reduction! I must say that it was wonderful! We have a staff of 400 and so many people stopped by my desk to welcome me back that it was hard to get any work done. What an awesome group of people. One of my families that I worked with prior to going off sick heard I was coming back today and came by the agency with chocolates. Everyone knew I had back surgery but only a few of the girls knew I had the breast reduction. Everyone kept telling me how wonderful I looked! What a great self esteem booster! :)

Thank you for those kind words. Best to you on your journey! Isn't it funny that I used to hate bra shopping and now I can't stop buying them! LOL I've never owned so many at one time! :)

Haha!! I can't WAIT to buy some cute pretty bras. I'm so excited about that!! You've found some cute ones at Walmart. I think I'm going to be in the sports bra for a few more months then it's ON.....

For the first 6 months sports bras and bralettes are the most comfortable. I don't know if I will ever go back to underwire.

PS's Report

User Avatar
MJ1964August 25, 2014
When I saw my PS for my 6 week (final visit) I forgot to ask him how much he removed. Today I went to see my family physician. He had the report and it said he removed 802 grams from one breast and 740 grams from the other one. No wonder I feel lighter! :)

That's helpful to me for a guide. My doc said he'd take 800+ from each side. You look terrific! I'm also 50 yrs. old. Thanks for sharing your progress.

I wore a large when I first had the BR, but went down to a small by about 3-weeks post op

I bought large too but I shrink everything. Even if you think it can't be shrunk I will somehow manage to shrink it. :)
