How to read my Blog...


Hi there! This is my diary of Breast Reduction surgery. The blog is run in chronological order so what you see first is the latest post. To read from the beginning (before I had surgery), scroll down the page or click on the archive links to the right.

NOTE for anyone who knows me and may have strayed here from my other blog- This blog does have graphic photos of me before/after surgery... so if you dont want to see that then please don't scroll down. The reason I have posted these photos is that I found it hard to research the surgery myself with the lack of photos available, but more importantly information about what to expect after surgery etc. Hence I have tried to give as much information as possible for other ladies who might be looking into the same thing.

This photo attached shows me and a cast I took of one side before surgery. Quite a difference! All the best, any queries about the surgery or my experience feel free to email rr35@waikato.ac.nz

Thank you a lot for posting this blog...I am also considering doing Breast Reduction surgery and as for the comments about people being so fat which causes them to have huge breast.....ITS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE IF YOU ACTUALLY KNOW THEIR STORIES!!!

Hi,
Thanks so much for posting! I was comforted to be able to read what would happen to me before it happened. Also to know about the after effects and that you are so happy. (Congrats by the way ;-) ) I am now two weeks out and can attest to your statement of feeling absolutely fantabulous! Thanks again for sharing! ~Sarah

People who think you have to be fat to have big boobs are ignorant. Sounds like someone's jealous to me. I have big boobs, & I am not fat. Not all big breasted women are fat. I can't belive some peopple are this stupid...don't you know that everyone's bodies are different? You have big boobs, small boobs, blue eyes, green eyes, tall people, short people, e.t.c. Someone needs to go back to school...anyways...thank you for posting your story...it is very helpful. I am going to email you, I don't want some of the smart a$$es reading what I write. ;)

Hi Renelle

My name is Rachael, I'm 19 and from England.
At the beginning of the year I finally decided to try and get my name down for breast reduction surgery. For a few years now I have been sick and tired of having such big breasts and although I was scared I knew it was something I had to do.
A couple of weeks ago I received my surgery date which is the 16th September and I instantly began feeling very frightened (and have cried a lot ha!). I had my pre-op appointment today and after talking to the nurse and having her tell me of the risks involved, I came out of the hospital questioning whether or not I am making the right choice. I have been very upset this evening and have been wondering if it will all be worth it.
I decided to google the procedure and look into a little more and I came across your blog. I can't explain how grateful I am that you posted it!!! You have made me realise that this is something I have to have done as it will change my life for the best and make me feel better about myself.
I am still absolutely terrified about the surgery but you have helped me think of how things will be afterwards. I just hope that my surgery goes as well as yours did and my scars heal brilliantly like yours have!

Thank you so much for posting the blog!!!!! I'm sure you have put many other minds at ease with it!

Hello,

Thank you so much for this blog. My surgery is scheduled for this coming Wednesday and I am petrified. I know that I have to do this. I am now 38 years old and have suffered with huge breasts since I was 12 years old. My back and shoulders are just crying out for this surgery. Thank you foe the images and candid information it has really put my mind at ease.

Thanks for sharing your surgery with us, very brave of you!

I watched the 20/20 tape and read all your blog and I'm glad I did.

I'm going for surgery (Canada) on Nov. 5, 2008, I am getting nervous, more afraid of the pain than anything else. My husband will be home taking care of me so I'll have nothing to do while I heal.
