Breast Reduction Surgery

[trekin']

I had this surgery done in November 2005....best thing I ever did for myself!

I went for a one mile walk 2 days after the surgery (slowly and gingerly), and was cleared for unlimited activity after 4 weeks. I did take it easy for awhile when lifting things, however.

Eat healthy, stay hydrated, don't smoke, follow the post surgical directions, and you should be back on the bike before you know it...and looking and feeling terrific!!

Here is a link to a discussion group I followed before and after my surgery. I got some good ideas for bras, dealing with scars, etc....http://messageboards.makemeheal.com/index.php

The best of luck to you!

Had mine done in 2000, like others here it was the best thing I ever did for myself. My recovery time was much longer though (almost a month), I wonder if removal of the pedicle makes for a longer recovery time??

Well, had another consult with my surgeon... definitely benched from the bike for 30 days post surgery. Now the bit about not going crazy ...
