Found my new motivation...breast reduction...experience?

StrongerJess

Hey all!! I have decided to get a breast reduction in May. I have had large breasts since I was 14. I have always been told that I should wait to get a reduction until after I lose weight, but I feel like it is silly to lose weight when they are so heavy that it's hard to exercise to lose weight. I decided to do this for me. I am hoping to lose at least 25 pounds before then to help make the surgery easier.

So my question, has anyone had the surgery? What can you tell me about it? How much will I need to have done for me? Can I go to the bathroom on my own? How long was your recovery? I am really excited, but I am nervous!! I watched a video on it and got a little worried about the pain factor. Any input is highly appreciated.

Hey there!

I am having a breast reduction in May too! This is something I have wanted for years and I too have had large breasts since I hit puberty. I am also hoping to lose 15-20 pounds before my surgery. I am scared, but so ready! Good luck!!
