Right now, I am wearing a 36DD bra. To many of you, this is probably huge, to me it is the best feeling I've had in a long time. See, just five days ago I had a breast reduction. I went from a size g - n (depends on brand) to a DD. Yes, this bra is a little bit small (I am probably a 38 or 40DD) but just the fact that I am fitting in it and not pooling out, the fact that my old bras are so incredibly baggy...well, I'd say this is the best NSV I've ever had :)

Also, even though they are bruised like a ripe banana right now, my bewbies are awessssooooomeeee!

    Awesome NSV!! I know how you feel - I've gone from an 34H to a 34GG since February. It's a nice feeling to have some extra room in your bra! :smokin:

    I think 36 DD is just perfect! Of course, given that I wear that size I miiiight be a little biased ;)

    Congrats I also personally know what a great feeling that is. I had a reduction almost 14 years ago and between weight gain and three kids I was up to a 42 DDD and now I'm back down to a 38D/36DD.
    Awesome

    Congratulations! I had one a year & a half ago . . . it was amazing. I can actually wear "cute" bras now (especially since I started losing weight), and I can go out without a bra as long as I'm layered up and stand up straight. And my wardrobe options have tripled.

    Thanks everyone!! To the two of you that said you had a BR done, Imma add you :) If you don't mind, just in case I have questions (I am anxious when it comes to healing etc, never know what to expect!)

    Congratulations, I can imagine how great that must feel. I am a 36i and would like a redux once I am satisfied with my weight. You said you are bruised but are you in any pain?

    Hi,

    I had a reduction about 7 years ago. Best thing I ever did!! I slowly gained weight so they have gotten bigger but since starting mfp, I am back on my way to where I'd like to be (36D).

    Congrats to you! I'm sure you will enjoy your new, perkier boobs!! :-)

    I can't imagine having boobs that big.

    Anyways, Congrats! I'm sure they look much better on you now!

    The pain isn't that bad, no. I was prescribed t3's and have only used them twice. I use advil and feel just fine :)

    I had one in 2008 and I will say this; you will never regret it. Do stay accountable on your weight though. I went from a G to a C, but then gained weight & got back up to a DD. Once I get it off this time, I'm keeping it off. Congrats!

    Awesome! I bet you have less back pains too now! Clothes probably fit better I bet, which is exciting in itself. Congrats on the success surgery! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    I hear ya, I told my husband if my boobs don't shrink I'm gonna do a breast reduction after I met my GW. lucky for me they did shrink. I'm down from a 40DDD to a 34C, and I could not be happier!

    I'm so jealous! I'm popping outta a 38H right now. Part of it is breastfeeding but I was a G or something before getting pregnant. T.T If I dont lose them when I get to my goal weight I'm totally getting a reduction.

    I'm only a 36 C/D and I have to strap them down but good to exercise. This should make it a lot easier on you!

    Yeah once I get down to a more comfortable weight, I might get a reduction myself. Being an F is uncomfortable and a hassle...

    Congrats! At 38G I dream of getting a reduction. Hopefully they will shrink a bit with the weight loss. :drinker:

    however I think mine are due for a lift :grumble:

    Congrats on the BR! I'm getting mine later this year. I can only imagine how wonderful it must be to lose the back pain and have "normal" sized breasts. Best of luck with your healing!!

    Welcome to the club of breast reductions! I had mine done about 7 years ago - was about the size you were on a small frame - best thing I've ever done! What a relief you will feel once they are all healed!

    Best decision I ever made! I went from a G to a D when they were first done. I remember crying to my mom the day after (I was likely still heavily medicated) because I told her my boobs were so small I had "boy boobs". AT A D! It's so funny to me know looking back on that. You got it done around the time I did (mine was in March) and I remember that total WIN of being able to buy a bathing suit top in a store that summer! You will not regret it, even years from now!
