So my advice to all of you make sure you and your sugereon are on the same page and ask him /her all and any questions you can think of and ask make sure you ask about post -op and lots of risk factor Well I am now 2 wks post-op was a 40DDD now about a large C and let me say THINK first I have been threw hell and back I waited 3 hrs for my surgury it was set back then it only took 2hrs and in post-op I past out for about 20 mins. and when I came threw the on call surgeon made a comment “shes been out of surgery for 2hrs and 10mins time to go”and the best is they had to inject me with something to bring my heart rate back 2mins before his comment so they politely got me dressed and sent me home as i was finally home and getting comfy the next thing i remember i was waking in the four walls of my local hospital and being pumped with fluids!now the results I have a beautiful left boob (a little drainage) tiny bruising and a horribly ugly right boob it drains blood threw a little hole i even have to put a maxi to collect the blood and its missing like two layers of skin so its raw and hurts like hell and lets talk about the swelling under the arm pits left side swollen but do have full feeling the right swollen and still numb cant even lift the right arm without pain and every time i talk to the surgeon he tells me everything is normal and treats me like i am stupid the worst is he lives in my community so when people ask how was he I want to scream a asshole but I dont… So my advice to all of you make sure you and your sugereon are on the same page and ask him /her all and any questions you can think of and ask make sure you ask about post -op and lots of risk factor

I am excited and ready to be "reduced"!!! I am 5'1 and have a small frame with 38ddd bra size. I am a little nervous, too. But I am ready. I suffer from back, neck and headaches CONSTANTLY. I only have to pay $100.00. I think this will be the best $100.00 I have EVER spent. Wish me luck!! My bd surgery is scheduled for June 25, 2008. I am excited and ready to be “reduced”!!!

I am in a 36DDD and bursting out of it. I am 5' 1' and small boned (wear sz 6 on bottom and xxL on top. I was happy to learn that my neck pain is from my breast weight. I am trying to decide if I should reduce to a Full C or D. I hope I won't get scarring. thanks for putting your story out there. Lisa I am scheduling a breast reduction.

I'm almost 17 (in 4 months), 5'6 3/4 (not quite 5'7), about 152lbs and when I went to Nordstroms a second time to get measured, I was told that I was a 32DDD. They only carried one style of bra in that size and it didn't even support me right. Like you, I am athletic: I compete in Track& Field, ride horses, and enjoy doing physical activities, but my boobs always seems to weigh me down, especially if I have to run; I may not even be tired but I can't breath because of the weight on my chest. I've talked to my mum about breast reduction surgery and my parents are going to find out if insurance will cover it. Even though I am under 18, I plan to join the military and go to basic after turning 18 and pretty much from there I would have no way to have a breast reduction surgery. We are going to talk to my doctor (who is a female) about it and explain to her how my breasts are affecting me (breathing, posture, shoulder pain) and see if there is any possible way that I would be able to have a reduction. So, thats my situation, but when I read yours, I felt the same things; I always seem to leave Nordstroms bigger than when I arrived, my breasts weigh me down and don't fit athletically. Thanks, Karen Hi,
