I did something BIG for myself yesterday!
I got a breast reduction and lift! I am so sore today, but so glad I did it. It feels like the first time in a long time I've done something just for myself. It's something stbx never "allowed" me to do and I finally just did it. I feel so relieved as they've been hampering my ability to workout, run, etc. Plus, I've felt chubby even in my best of shape time because they've been so big and saggy.
I see this as the first step to doing things my way for a while!

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Congratulations!
I have thought about getting a reduction as well, but have decided to wait until after I have children (fingers crossed that having children actually happens for me).
How long is the recovery? If you don't mind telling, what size did you come from and go to?

They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
They say full recovery to where I can get back to activities like CrossFit will be about eight weeks. But I can return to work in a week. I went from a DD to a big B or small C. I'm lucky that I wasn't huge, but I was big enough for them to get in the way of working out and I had constant shoulder and neck pain.
I just got back from the doc for my one day post op check and when she took off my bandages, I was so excited. Of course I look like Frankenboobs now, but they are so small and perky! She said that I had an excellent result and could even get away with wearing tank tops without a bra (not that I would, but I could!).
