Breast Reduction Surgery

I have debated about breast reduction surgery for years. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia which have given me years of pain in my arms, neck shoulders and upper back in varying degrees for years.I've also managed to gain thirty pounds in the last year due to a new medication for a new diagnosis (bi-polar) and of course, the breasts grew first. I woke up one day when I was a 36 D and my cup sizes only every went up to my 42DDD yesterday morning. When the swelling goes down, I should be a C cup. The doctor told my husband he took over a pound on each side. I can't imagine how cool it will be to buy cute colorful bras for the first time in my life.

This also is my incentive to lose 30 pounds in 6 months. I'd like to wear a modified bikini on South Beach next March on vacation--something I haven't done in at least 15 years. I can hardly keep awake right now with my pain meds, but I'll get there in a day or two!

I can't believe I have waited until I was 55 years old to have this done. I know the quality of my life would have been much improved--I can't to see what live has to hold for me now!
