I had a friend who had this done.. I believe she feels it was the best thing she could have done to relieve the back pain... ultimately, the decision is yours...!

I don't know why women consider excess breast tissue sacred. You are in pain and it needs to stop. Your breasts don't matter more than you do, get them reduced.-------------- Anni ******* Hard work must have killed somebody |

if you've nursed your kids, i'd say it's time to say bye bye. i know a girl with a similar problem who is not having the surgery till after she has kids and breast feeds them (because of the risk of not being able to breast feed). why wait. if you have the money to do it, it should be done. if not it's worth the expense. think of the money you'll save on bras. you'll finally be able to find things in your size at the store :)

Hey Reb...I had a breast reduction a couple of years ago. It was a little scarey, but the best decision I have ever made.
My only sugestion is that you need to make sure you look into a couple of different surgeons before you choose. Make sure he is reputible and certified by the ABPS. |

That's great reblynne! I hope that over the course of the next 3 months you take time to consider how much it matters that you have a life free of this kind of pain. You are a person of value who does not have to suffer endlessly just because you have breasts.-------------- Anni ******* Hard work must have killed somebody |

By the way, spend some more time and make your 2nd opinion appointment now. That way you don't have to wait an additinal 3 months. Don't forget to look at each doctor's before and after reduction photo's.-------------- Anni ******* Hard work must have killed somebody |
