I have huge boobs since forever, but after a hysterectomy last year I went from a 34K to 34M (and really most M's don't fit me...im closer to an MM or N) in 4 1/2 months..
After complaining of increased back pain, my husband urged me to go see about getting a breast reduction. Which is just proof that my husband is a saint, as he is whole heartedly a "Boob guy."
Tomorrow is the big day, I'm nervous but honestly am looking forward to healing and being able to go running after without dislocating my ribs. I'm looking forward to going hiking and doing things I want to without measuring my back pain and trying to gage if I can push thru it long enough.
I am nervous, I'm afraid of if I will still be too big to stop my back pain or be too small... I am looking forward to being able to buy cute bras from Victoria secret (I've always been too big) and my husband is so excited to save money on bras (We're lucky if I can find bras for under 100$$)
I have planned to have our friends come with "Sympathy" cards for my husband and his "loss" of my boobs. They showed me a few weeks ago and some of their comments are too perfect!! "Tho you may no longer hold them in your hands, you can always carry your memories with you."
My husband has no idea and I am so excited to see his face when they give them to him!!! Because, 12 years together, 8 married and 2 kids later I still like to mess with him. (He does things like this too, a few years ago he posted an embarrassing photo of my son as a toddler and I napping in an unflattering position that went viral and can always be counted on to pop up a few times a year.. It's even part of a click bate thread that frequents fb apparently..)
I can't sleep, and my husband is gone for training (He gets back friday.. ) I don't know why I am making this post outside of the fact that I am really just trying to kill time until I go in for my surgery..

**edit. Wow, thanks everyone for the support and well wishes. I am out of surgery and recovering well. It ended taking 2 hours long than it was supposed to, which I guys meant way more anesthesia.. which I am also sensitive to, so now I have to stay the night in the hospital because I couldn't stop throwing up.
Funny note - while coming out of surgery and trying to wake up, the first thing I said was "what's wrong, why didn't they take my boobs??"
To which the nurse said "They did. Everything went fine, but you got more anesthesia than normal. "
"Is that why my boobs don't hurt *snoring resumes *"
Well no snoring but there was sleeping haha apparently they numb the crap out of your boobs when they so this so they don't hurt.

My wife got a breast reduction and it has changed her little life immeasurably for the better. You will enjoy this. Heal well

I'm almost 2 years post op from a reduction myself. Best decision I ever made. I was also halfway down the alphabet, a 44 JJ myself. 1/

It was also the first surgery I ever experienced. Despite being loopy from pain killers and anesthetic, my back instantly felt better. 2/

It'll be a rough 6 week recovery, and it'll be very difficult to move your upper torso for a bit, but it's worth it. You've got this!
Cerinna
Any surgery is scary, and that's okay. I know a few women that have had a boob reduction and they're both very happy with it. Good luck!
icomeheretobedistracted
Boobs should have been made detachable. You could put them on the nightstand and get a good nights sleep.

@OP: if this lady shares your "old" size, that may be the best charity ever. Sincerely, someone else who has to spend too much on bras.
korntassel
I bought my most recent bra in November and refused (on principal) to buy another in that size. So it's pretty much toast. Or I would!!
MaximumSausage
@OP I'm a 34DD and I can honestly say the "cute" bra selection isn't as extensive as you might think. Still, I wish you boob luck!
ForkOffPlease
I can really understand ur happiness. I have a 34H/I and it's a burden on daily life. I hope one day to be able to afford a reduction 1/2
NeighborlyAdvice
I have 32I. My shoulders are chronically painful now from bra straps and boob weight. I'm tempted to get a reduction.

Most insurance will cover for pain or scoliosis reasons.. Medicaid covered mine for that reason..

I wish u a successful surgery and a great recovery with ur new, gravity-defying-everywhere-fitting new boobs!!

Have your doctor declare medical necessity for back pain - insurance should cover, that's not elective.

PenicilliumCamemberti
Are you're sure you're wearing the correct size? I'm not judging, but I've got some 30Gs and since I switched to other bras it's no problem.
PenicilliumCamemberti
Of course I am aware a 30G is pretty petite compared to larger band Fs that may cause more problems.

Lulabel73
Why did your boobs get bigger after your hysterectomy? Or does this happen to every woman?
wildforests
My aunt had to start taking estrogen pills after hers (because her body didn't produce enough w/o a uterus) which might affect boob size
Lulabel73
I guess it might.
GODDAMNlT
estrogen is made in the ovaries though, not the uterus

They are often removed also

That's not true. They try to leave them in if they can
LiswanS
I had a reduction, it is amazing. I went back to work three days later, had a bit over two pounds removed from each, so fun scars, but 1/
LiswanS
overall pretty painless. My advice is to stock up on ice packs, frozen peas, etc. The pain feels very surface level, so ice helps a ton 2/
LiswanS
Make sure to wear the surgical bra for a few months, but you can buy them on your own if you don't like the one they give you 3/
LiswanS
but as long as you have tight bandages and rotate ice packs, you might not even need pain meds after first few days. Get $$ scar gel from 4/
LiswanS
doctor's office, it is pricey, but if you use fake or less powerful, you are going to have to deal with worse scarring later on 5/
LiswanS
Anyway, congrats. That first deep breath after waking up from surgery makes it easily worth it. 6/6
DelumStudios
The operation might lessen the pain, but if you have back problems you need to see a therapist and do back strenghtening exercises.
korntassel
I've been going to physical therapy and will continue after. I need to teach my body good posture again and build up the right muscles :)
DelumStudios
I see you got everything down to a tee. Back problems are really slow to heal but with a good "muscle barrier" your issues will fade nicely.

I was an H here. I went from a k to m in the last 7 months.
AlkeneThiol
I was thinking the same thing. These bra sizes not be US sizes or something. An M would be like largest breasts in the world type size.
NeighborlyAdvice
That's a 2 year old picture. You can easily go up a lot of bra sizes (or down) in a 2 year span.

Also, this was 2012 :)

If anyone is curious what M boobs actually look like, Google Anorei Collins. She's an LL which is basically an M.

OP is def referring to US sizes. A LL in US size is an R cup! I’m a J in US size and she said she was an H in that pic. Very believable

Actually, people have a pretty wrong idea when they think about boob sizes. I'm short and petite and DD, yet it is proportional to my body.

Depending on the rest of her body and band size, DD may only be a modest handful.

Some guys get gynecomastia. A reduction is the only way to get rid of the moobies. Also, men can-and do-get breast cancer.

Very true. And it is easy to forget about male breast cancer, not to mention testing oneself regularly.

Men should examine their breasts (mammary tissue) regularly just like you should with your testicles. Women can't really examine 1/2

As a guy with many friends who have D-Cups, DD will still be too much, depending on your body. If your petite and thin, everything past C-->

will likely hurt except if you're in top form. If you're a bit bigger and fit, D to DD might be ok. Speak to your doctor, he'll help you out

Fantasie shares some of the models, but has a more "grown up" style, if you're looking for something like that. Sheer bras are harder to 1/2

PenicilliumCamemberti
Something like "a F" doesn't exist. A 30F has approx. the volume of a 32E of a 34D of a 36C, so without a number "a F" doen't tell anything.

Lots of comments like that down here. "I'm only a DD and it's nearly unbearable." A DD what? Give me some numbers!
PenicilliumCamemberti
I mean I'm a 30G, and that's far less than most people think because they don't know the influence of band sizes.
FutureFriedman
It's terribly annoying to see dumb people say shit like "a D cup is big", no, it's big if the band size is tiny.
Jrex42
Actually a D is tiny if the band size is tiny. 28D = same volume as 34A. Gets confusing tho bc tiny girls w/ large boobs mistakenly wear Ds

It's just a convenient way to say "my chest and boobs measured around are 4 inches bigger than the chest below my boobs".
