I wish you good luck. I'm sure once it is behind you (all healed) you'll probably say that this was one of the best decision - health wise.
I know I had breast reduction almost 3 years ago and I can't believe how much it changed everything. And I'm not only talking looks. The other day I was complaining about my bike and my husband said yes, but with the new bike, you no longer have that shoulder pain you kept having with your old hybrid. True. Never complained once about such pain.
Then this morning, it flashed on me! I had that reduction. And I had not ridden a bike since then. So it could only be that, not only the bike fitting that is good.
Yesterday I was thinking how fun it is to ride with no "boobs" hanging down, weiging on me. I keep saying this is the best physicial thing I could do to me. And because they had to remove about 1 pound on each breast, it was covered by our medicare plan. I did have to pay for the lipo on both sides as the surgeon said if we do not do it, there would be a big chance that it leaves you with what they call doggie ears (it's like flaps on the sides) and this was not covered. But still. Not a minute do I regret this. Can't say the same for hubby. Too him a while to get used to seeing me from a E cup to C. And if it had been for me, it would have been a B. But doctor said he will remove what he thinks goes with my body. So a C it was. He likes it balanced!
All this to say I encourage you to do it if you can do it. Not easy recovery (breast reduction is nothing). I could have gone to work after a week but he gave me a month's off to be on the safe side (no arm lift over your shoulder, no heavy weight - like 10 pounds or more for 30 days). No sports for 6 weeks, etc...but it was so oh all worth it.
Hubby was afraid I'd start to want one surgery after the other one now that I liked what I saw/had. Told him no way. I am ok with the rest of myself. Nothing that I could not "remove" without proper diet and exercice plan. And it still my thinking 3 years later.
Good luck.
