Breast Reduction Surgery Soon -- Many Questions
I had a breast reduction done 15 years ago. I have been a happy person since. I highly recommend it. I took 2 weeks off work as I had a very physical job but in reality it was a vacation as I felt great after.

Weird feeling when eating
I have had many phone conversations with my Doctors office as I have not had a fill yet. I have been advised that it isn't about feeling full.
