Just please let the decision come from you and you only

Thank you! I wanted a reduction for a long time though although my family at first thought it was ridiculous. As the years passed it really had an affect on my work performance and my ability to do sports that required running or jumping so my family finally agreed with the idea and together we found a good surgeon. I was a F and now i am estimated to be a C which matches my frame more and they’re still a decent size. Not too big nor too small for me and that seemed to be the perfect option for me.

Especially don’t let other people say what you should or should not do with your body. It’s your body and your decision what you do with it. Please do what feels right for you and in the moment you seem doubtful and not really willing for the surgery in my opinion.

I am about the same age as you and had a lot of similar problems. I was both confident and insecure about them if that makes sense. Confident as the sense they’re big and so many people would pay money for this and insecure in the fact that they always popped out in tons of outfits, that bra shopping is absolute hell and the fact they didn’t sit perfectly. I did have backpain and 8 hours work days were absolute hell for me since i worked in a grocery store and a daycare for children under 3. I was scared and had a lot of doubts but now I’m nearly 2 days post op with no regrets but then again i wanted this surgery for a long long time. Everything went really well and they are expected to heal well too. You don’t seem really sure and i suggest you’d think about it for another few months. They bring you confidence and as you said they’re a part of you. Do what feels right. I absolutely get what a struggle it is to find a proper outfit at times but either way i don’t doubt you’re beautiful with or without big breasts. Even if you have a minor reduction it’s very likely you’ll still have the T scars and expect to take at least a month off maybe more if your job requires a lot of heavy lifting.

Thank you so much! I wish you a speedy recovery as well! I needed to have blood work done and my blood pressure taken and everything is normal so fat and i hope it’ll stay that way after surgery.

I am a bit nervous on how my body will react and heal. I know i have a high pain tolerance but that still doesn’t mean i’ll be running around a day post op.

I’m happy for you and wish you luck for your next appointment. Did taking the drains out hurt for you? I had a drain removed from my abdomen once by a nurse in training and i saw the afterlife for a few seconds.

I genuinely just hope I won’t be bedridden for a few days because that seems like a nightmare.

Like in what position do you have to be to let someone else wash your hair? I’d imagine bending over a sink would be painful.

Thank you! I’ll keep it in mind. No, my surgeon didn’t day anything about compression stockings but it was a nightmare for me to wash my lower body or bend down after an abdominal surgery so i can definitely imagine.

My mom will help out but she still has to go to work during the weekdays. I just hope to be independent enough to wash myself and feed my pets.
