Been waiting for a reduction for 9+ years now I have surgery in 3 days! I’m so scared
I was a 14D cup by 12 the biggest I ever was around 18H, I’ve always fluctuated and now I’m around a 16G at almost 20, I’ve got scoliosis in my upper spine that constantly hurts and lower back pain.
At 12 my mum started looking into reductions due to them already causing difficulties but I got rejected for years because I was still growing (which I know and understand lol) but now as I’m getting old enough to know I’m not growing anymore and I don’t plan on having kids anytime soon I restarted the process of getting my reduction. That started last year and it’s been slow getting appointments, that being said my most recent appointment was two months ago and they had told me I would be contacted about a surgery date within the next year but the surgery might not be for another 2 years at most.
I just got a call (a little over a month since that appointment) and the surgeon has had a cancellation in 3 days so has put me in last minute! I am so not prepared! But I need this! I have been reading everyone else’s posts about post op and pre op stuff but I’m so unprepared and kinda feel like I’m freaking out. This is also the first type of surgery I’ve ever had done, the biggest medical procedure I’ve ever had done so far was getting a baby tooth pulled out at the dentist.
What should I be prioritizing? Is there anything that I need to do beforehand to make it easier on myself? I feel like I’m not mentally prepared enough but I’ve wanted this and been waiting for this for so long that I can’t and won’t turn it down.
