I am only 23 and i am having severe back problems. My doctor says i have a curve in my spine with muscle spasms on both sides of my spine and it was caused by my large breast. It is really hard living my everyday life taking care of my 2 kids with this pain. In order for my insurance to pay for it I have to go through a year of treatment before the surgury and my year is almost over, the closer it gets the more scared I get! Right now I am a 42 F and am going to a full B or a small C. How bad is the pain and how long will I need someone to take care of my kids I dont want them to see me in that much pain. The tube they put in you throat is it already out when you wake up?

I had a reduction, was able to breastfeed 3 years later just fine. Scarring is noticable but not painful, still fading, surgery was about 10 years ago. Yes, you'll have scars. My back straighted out after about 2 years of loosing the boobs. I wanted to be flat chested but doc said no, So I got a C cup from busting out of a DDD. That sucked. Trust me, you're experiencing the worst pain now!!! Once that weight is off you'll feel awesome. They took 2 1/2 lbs off each breast, so five pounds off the chest. Recovery you'll need about a week with help, first three days laying in bed on pain killers, IF you DON"T and try to DO you will have major scarring. You have to get full time help for the kids for at least a week. You'll be on pain killers for the first three days. You will be asleep, not making lunch or doing laundry, NO No NO. And yeah, I told the Doc I didn't want to hear about any of the surgery details...., not the tube or none of it, (I was only....17 when I had the surgery, yep a little girl). and when i woke up there was only me and the nurse waiting for me to come around, breasts all taped up, (because you just had surgery, somethings got to hold them on), and it feels good, it's over the weight is off and you have healthy bandages. Don't be scared, I was too, surgery sound scary. The facts are, think of what your body will be like in 5 years if you don't have this surgery. I was never able to run before surgery or jump or walk up the stair without holding my boobies so they didn't bouncy bouncy. The pain it's causing you is killing each day, think of it as presurgery, post surgery, from the first recovery day you are going to be onto a new you, you'll be able to lose weight (yeah funny how it doens't come off your chest), your life will change from this event! I've always been self concious about my scars, (they're not bad, i never think about them.) You know like that guys might think I'm not pretty, well when we were dating, they never even phased my husband. He was excited about how even they were. Whatever that's about. Yep, they size'em equal. This is so exciting!!! Go on! Be Brave!!! It's awesome. Your kids will have mommy without pain and with more energy from losing those sandbags! You know they suck!

whilst i develop into in the army, one among my troops confirmed me a photograph of her taken some years till now. She stood 5', and looked like Dolly Parton. She had breast alleviation surgery. She develop into having back pains, shoulder pains. She lifted her shirt and backside of her bra and you should fairly see a mild crimson scar under her breast. (definite, we've been that close as acquaintances...long tale.) She is a intense-high quality gal and since the surgery, she develop right into a lots happier one, too. consult from a scientific expert some breast alleviation. Like dawn, i think of you would be lots happier. sooner or later we had a occasion on the abode of one of my different troops, and that i spotted dawn and a huge breasted neighbor in the nook conversing. That summer, Tina (the neighbor) develop into over in her bathing adventure and something only did not look good. She quickly suggested, "I ought to take this element off. My stitches are itching like loopy." Then it dawned on me (pardon the pun) that she, too, had breast alleviation. those little domestic dogs have been status proud. good success!

The pain was nonexistent for ME but every woman is different.
The tube is usually out when you wake up.
You should have someone take care of your kids for at least two weeks, perhaps more as you should not be lifting your kids too much until you are healed.
