We appreciate your willingness to help others. Can you tell us a little bit more about your story? When was your surgery performed? Can you chat about the reasons you chose the surgery? How long ago was it? We look forward to your insight.

Thanks for your post, I am a size double D, and have always wanted to get a breast reduction but I hear they are very painful. I also heard they move your nipple which causes many women a loss of sensation in their nipple and that is what really scared me. I would love to know more about your experience. I understand it's fairly easy to get your insurance to pay for it if you can show it is causing you problems, did your insurance pay for it? Any info you can pass along would be greatly appreciated.

I had breast reduction surgery a couple of years ago & I don't regret it. Plus, I am 2.5 pounds lighter! Recovery is tough & painful (at least it was for me, but others have had an easier time than me) & the biggest surprise to me were the drainage tubes that I had for several days after the surgery, but it was worth it. My clothes fit better (at least my tops do!) & I'm not in pain anymore.

Hi Toni -- Instead of using my real name, can I use my EmpowHer account name for your story? If so, I may be interested. Thanks!
