^Nikki and Me^
I have been diagnosed with Gigantomastia (which means big boobies).
I am getting a Reduction Mammaplasty (Breast reduction).
The only thing that sucks about having the surgery next Tuesday is that is the day that Nikki leaves to go back to Texas. Tuesday is going to be a tearfest.
I feel pretty confident about the surgery.
My Dr. is very straightforward and nice. He flat out gave me two options: Deal with back pain/migraines/numbness in my shoulders with big boobs that have no scars. OR Get the reduction, relieve all the pain and numbness and have a <50%>
He's going to be taking around 1lb out of each breast, making me a full size C (I'm currently a DD in my right breast and almost a DDD in my left). I have to be in 'bed rest' for two days, then I can start walking around like normal. I wont be able to lift anything over 5lbs for a week. I can't go swimming in a pool for three weeks. I have three follow up appointments immediately after surgery, then some more scattered throughout the month. They told me that by July I should be as good as new, meaning I can workout normally, wear real bras ( I am SO EXCITED about buying cute bras), etc.
Once the stitches are all healed up I can start putting this super amazing scar cream on it. There is a 50/50 chance of not being able to breast feed, and a 50/50 chance I might lose feeling in my nipples. But then he said that even without surgery there is a 50/50 chance I'd be able to breast feed and that a lot of people don't have feeling in their nipples.
He even brought me into a room with a patient of his that had the surgery last week so I could see what I'll look like right after the surgery. It's scary, but I now they won't look great immediately. The lady told me she's very pleased with her results.
So again, I am confident in the surgery. Extremely nervous, but confident.
Here's my Dr.'s website if you're interested in looking at it. http://www.wiegeringplasticsurgery.com/
That's about all for now. :) Wish me luck.

Thanks for all the info. girl! I will be praying that everything goes well for you (no doubt it will), and your boobies will turn out gorgeous I'm sure. I'm really thinking of waiting until after I have kids, and then see what my options are...considering I will be having kids w/in the next few years. It sounds like everything is going great for you, and don't be scared. It will be worth it in the long run, I'm sure!
Hey I love your blog! It inspired me to make my own
