I had my breast reduction and lift, insurance approved, last week. The surgery was 4.5 hours and outpatient. I was a 40 F before the sleeve and a 36 DDD before the reduction, after losing 75 lbs. The surgery wasn't too bad. There isn't as much pain as I thought but I'm so wiped out! I should've taken more than a week off work. I've posted some pics so that you can see what I week post op looks like. Not as gruesome as you'd think. I have a lot of swelling, especially laterally. That will take about 6 weeks to go away. I also posted two "before" shots. Although embarrassing, it was helpful to me to see other people's photos. Sorry that a couple are upside down. I have no clue how to fix that.

I don't know :) I hope not... There's that whole nudity thing but I wish there was a way that just the women could see them.

Thank you for sharing - you look great! Do you mind if I ask how you got your insurance company to pay for it?

I complained to my primary care about neck and back pain, and rashes. He took some pics and got a referral approved to a PS. Then the PS took measurements, pics, asked me tons of questions and then submitted for approval. I was so thrilled! It will take a few months for all the swelling to go away and to have a normal shape, but I'm already so pleased. Who knew I had a torso under there lol?

Thank you so much for sharing these, and I hope they don't get taken down! I'm getting sleeved next month & I'm a 44F. I am worried about what will happen to the poor girls, but figured I would just have to suck it up & deal. It's good to know that there's at least a possibility I might be able to get a fix covered by insurance. You look fantastic!

Those babies are going to look fantastic once they are all healed up! I am super jealous! What size are you now? Thanks for sharing! It gives me something to look forward to one day. I was 44 DDD before I started and I know I need to get fitted because they are smaller, but man are they sagging!

What size did you get down to? How much pain was there? Thinking of having this done next year.

I'm supposedly a 34 full C once the swelling goes down. Right now I feel like a D.

The pain wasn't nearly as bad as anticipated. I'm very sore, but I only needed Percocet for 3 days, then Tylenol did the trick. Mostly I am exhausted. Take at least 2 weeks off work if you do this.

I'm currently the same size as you. I know that I will have to have this done after my surgery. Thanks for sharing and I really hope they don't take it down because I know other women will want to hear and see the results. You do look awesome thanks!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
