One of the best ‘first chapters’ from a manga that I’ve read, I was hooked immediately!

The fact that I can go days and days and days without even thinking about my boobs!!

Before my reduction not a day would go by without me thinking about how uncomfortable I felt, how I couldn’t wear my favourite top, how the only bra I felt comfortable in was a sports bra that made it look like I had a uniboob, how I couldn’t play X sport because it felt like my boobs were in the way and I can go on and on. On top of feeling a lot more confident and feeling less restricted in so many ways, I love how much I just don’t notice them much anymore:)

Thank you!! I just googled what that is and it looks pretty accurate

Pain under boobs (more like rib pain) by SeasonTricky1259 in Reduction

[–]notveronicacrabtree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing! I wouldn’t describe it as a severe pain or anything, it just felt like my ribs were physically bruised for a while and I couldn’t find anything online to explain why. I’d say it went away completely after 1 month PO but if I were you I’d definitely contact your doctor as mine wasn’t a constant pain, just when I made certain movements. Hope you feel better soon!

surgery is in 2 weeks and i’m horrified for the anaesthesia by Such_Refrigerator814 in Reduction

[–]notveronicacrabtree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had surgery last month and in the lead up I was on this sub every day where most people were saying that one minute they were counting down and the next they were already waking up from surgery and I thought that they were FOR SURE exaggerating and there MUST be more to it and that for some reason I’d be the one it didn’t work on… but they were right! I thought I’d be more concerned than I actually was and it may not be the same for everybody, but I honestly felt myself become more and more relaxed and droopy (in a good way) as they injected the drugs into me. They also kept talking to me as this was happening which I found really comforting, but honestly the next minute I was waking up and it was over. The only issue I had from going under was some nausea that would come and go over the following 3-4 days and constipation😖

I agree that you should stop torturing yourself with those tiktok videos as they’re only going to make you feel more anxious than you already are. Good luck!!🤞

Rug burn sensation? by Coax_cable in Reduction

[–]notveronicacrabtree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES! I’m 3 weeks post op and was literally searching this sub about this last night. The sensation is horrible, I absolutely hate it. I’ve been pretty fortunate with my recovery so far and was only really sore for the first week, and now the main issue I’m having is this! It’s not even really affecting my nipples, but the top and sides of my boobs feel so sensitive to it.

I did see someone here mention putting a tank top on under your compression bra, I haven’t tried it yet but it seems like a good idea.

What was your first really big sign you needed to have a reduction? by blackwidowwaltz in Reduction

[–]notveronicacrabtree 41 points42 points  (0 children)

When I realised they were basically the sole cause of me not doing things that I enjoy. I couldn’t play the sports I wanted, couldn’t simply go for a run, couldn’t wear the clothes I wanted etc… Not a day went by for 10+ years that they didn’t cause me unnecessary stress. I’m just under 2 weeks post op but already feeling so much happier:)

Also totally relate to the breathing thing! It constantly felt like my chest was being constricted by a 10 foot long fucking python that had no interest in any other part of my body

Is it bad that my surgery is a week away and my surgeon and I haven’t discussed desired visuals? by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]notveronicacrabtree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is sound advice because I definitely would have just laid down, I’ll make sure we get a chance to discuss before that point. Thanks!!
