This is really recent for me. I just had my surgery two days ago!! As you can see I must be healing okay..
I have always been big breasted..At age 18 I was 5 ft 120lbs wearing 34DDD. After having my son 4 years later my size increased to a 38 G! I remember watching MTV and a girl going through with the procedure. This was the first time I REALLY considered going through with it.
I had a appt w/ my internal med. MD Nov. 2001...she referred me to a PS and I had my first appt w/ him Jan 2002..my surgery was scheduled a month later for Feb. 12 2002..very fast!! The day of surgery I was scheduled for 6 am but the Plastic Surgeon was late and I was there anxious and nervous for an hr. waiting. Finally he comes, does the drawings and the last thing i remember was being wheeled into the operating room and then waking up with bandages around my breast trying to get off the table! (the anesthia) I felt very nauseated and was afraid to eat or drink anything, thinking it would come right back up.
After the first day, the nausea decreased and I've been taking pain meds as needed. I did not have to stay hospitalized and I'm happy because I wanted to be in the comfort of my own home..everyone is different, but I had no problem lying on my back and getting to sleep. My breasts are still swollen and I'm not sure what size I am. The surgeon says probably a large C small D. So far I am very happy with the procedure, though I do have to admit I feels strange being this small when you were once so huge..

About 70 percent of young women try to lose weight. That dissatisfaction with their body weight stays with them into adulthood.
