Because of back trouble for many years, a doctor had suggested that I consider a reduction. I thought about it for a while and decided against it. Personal reasons......not because I wouldn't ever have the surgery! I still to this day have plenty of back problems but I still have opted against the surgery. It's not completely out of the question but I am trying other things to relieve my back problems before I go the mile.

I am not as large as some woman who have gone before me but my stature is such that I really shouldn't be supporting this size breast. Weight loss NEVER changes my breast size. So that is one thing off my list of things to do.

I do, however, have one piece of advice for you Shar. Plastic surgeons, at times, can be very self indulgent. What I mean to say is that they are very prideful of their work and will boast their best stuff to you. What you have to do is some old fashioned "homework". If you can find several patients of any one particular surgeon to give him/her high cudos......you have a better chance than to go by his/her word alone! Check out "his/her" history. Find all the good AND the bad. No one is perfect......not even a surgeon! If he/she takes offense at your "snooping", then may I suggest that they have something of significance to hide!!!!!!

Best of luck to you in any decision you make hun! You know you'll have lots of support (no pun intended) from this group!

*hugs*
