If you had a breast reduction , how long did you take off of work ? What was worst being sleeved or the breast reduction ? How long did you drive after the reduction ? How much of a reduction in size did you go for ? I get my reduction date on monday and I know everyone is different , thank you for answering any or all of my questions

I had a breast reduction prior to the sleeve. I went from a really large I think DD or larger to a high B cup, which increased to a C with weight gain. The surgeries are nothing alike, I needed more help with the reduction because of the initial restriction in movement. I did have to lie on my back for both operations to sleep but couldn't use the restroom on my own after the reduction. I don't remember how long until I drove but I remember every bump in the road when in a car was uncomfortable. Hope that helps

I had a breast reduction prior to gastric bypass. Reduction was in 2002 and GB in 2011. I remember both like it was yesterday. My reduction wasn't bad, I was out shopping the next day. The only sucky part was sleeping, I'm not a back sleeper and it killed my back having to sleep in a recliner. Now,

The pain with the GB was awful for me. As far as time off work, for the reduction I was out for roughly 6 weeks and with my GB, I was out for 12. I went from a DD to a C but after losing 175lbs, I'm not down to a B.

Thank you both for answering my questions, have a great evening

Have you lost all of the weight that you intend to? If not then you may want to wait. A friend of mine had extremely large breasts pre surgery and was considering a reduction. She had the sleeve and is in the 190'same and now she.wants a boob job.

Yes I lost all the weight that I intended to , I would also like a tummy tuck
