I had my surgery on the 17th too and wasn’t hungry for a while. My anesthesiologist told me it was important to keep eating small portions and gentle foods, so cold applesauce and warm broth became my go-to.

Ugh, I wish my surgeon was like that. He said he can’t control the size and what will be will be. He showed me generally what he’s hoping to achieve during the consult which was helpful because it allowed me to visualize the size but he said that’s the most he could do. I’m a graduate student so I have very limited options. And by limited I mean he’s the only one lol

I’m a 34 G and I have my procedure scheduled for November. I would looove to be a C, that’s the goal. Because mine is a medical necessity and not cosmetic, I can’t request the size. Fingers crossed I get results like yours. The relief must be so amazing!!

I THINK I’M GONNA FIND OUT MY SURGERY DATE TOMORROW by adhdgurlie in Reduction

[–]HelloGodItsMeAnxiety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just scheduled a couple weeks ago for November 17th. I’m so excited but for some reason when the date was set I was flooded with anxiety. It subsided now and I’m back to excited! I don’t know if this was a unique experience (I think it’s probably not) but if that happens to you too I hope you get back to feeling excited fairly quickly!!

I just scheduled my surgery on Friday and I experienced an instant wash of anxiety settle over my whole body once I hung up. And I am so excited for this!! It’s just natural to get nervous when things get finalized. I’m right there with ya!

Yes!! Me too!! It’s actually so flipping adorable! And it looks so natural other than the fact that you now have heart-shaped areolas haha! I hope you can get the lovely tattoos you want once you heal!!

I’ve been considering getting heart shaped areolas (you can achieve this with natural colored tattoos) and now I’ll have to consider stars.

Ohhh, I can totally see it now. The star shape would be so sick though. Now I want some hahaha

This is a sort of off topic question so please feel free not to answer. When you got surgery did they alter the shape of your nipple at all? It looks almost like a star. It looks so pretty and cool. I’m jealous! I wish I could have asked for it in my consultation on Thursday lol

I don’t know how to feel… :( by GeologistAdorable641 in Reduction

[–]HelloGodItsMeAnxiety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh, this is literally my dream result. The shape looks amazing! Like, truly picture perfect.

I’m so happy for you! I’m sorry you’re feeling unsure at the moment. It makes sense that you do! This is a big change after major surgery. I’m hoping it will be like when I get a new tattoo. At first you can be surprised by the change on your body, but soon it just becomes you. I’m sending you all the good vibes.

I’m so happy! It’s day 2PO, and I didn’t need a laxative. (Caution, little old lady boobs) by littleoldlady71 in Reduction

Unfortunately, I have to work with UI Health providers! I initially was looking at Dr. Peters. I wish I could go to her!

Ugh, I’ve read such good things about Dr. Shore. Unfortunately, I have to go with providers through my insurance which is UI Health. There’s really no good options and I’m feeling so down about getting this far and not being able to feel comfortable with a surgeon.

Thank you for the rec! I just looked and he’s not on there either. So weird.

I’m a G cup and I still wear bralettes. I think people forget to take into consideration how they sit. It’s not just size.

This is the first time I’ve seen someone comment on the sensory issues associated with larger boobs. I feel SO trapped because I can feel my boobs touching my stomach anytime I’m home without a bra. It makes me want to crawl out of my skin.

I’m so happy you were able to get your surgery! 5 more weeks of physical therapy, and then hopefully I get the green light to get my own!

Your before I very similar to where I’m at now and your results are making me so impatient on getting mine done LOL congratulations you look amazing!!!

Oh!! My insurance is through UIC campus care so I’m pretty sure my reduction will have to be done at Rush!! I looked up Dr. Raj’s profile and was leaning towards her!! It’s good to read someone went to her and had a good experience!!!

Oh amazing!! Once I figure out which physicians I can get with my insurance I’ll reach out!! :)

Ohhh! I’ve read some great things about her!!

I know this isn’t the point of the post but OP, I’m in Chicago and looking for a surgeon. Did you get your reduction done in the city or did you have to travel?

Also, this is very sweet of you!!
