Downsize?
Lately my freakin back has been killing me. I brought some crap bras, which was stupid because I knew how much I'd be walking. And the good bras still do that cutting into my shoulders thing. I need a freakin massage. I'm 24 and I have issues with my back already. SO it's got me thinkin', maybe I should get a breast reduction while I have health insurance. I could talk to my doctor and express to him the pain that I'm currently going through and the fact that I could lose as much weight as I want but I may drop down from a big DD to a decent D if I'm lucky. I was a B when I was 10 and did not become overweight until my teenage years. I was made to have big boobs. Anyways, if the doctor recommends a consultation with a plastic surgeon who takes my insurance (it's freaking blue care network, everyone in Detroit does) then the consultation is paid for by my insurance. If the doctor does not recommend a surgeon and I go on my own, the consultation will cost me but the surgeon's office will deal with the paperwork with my insurance. Honestly, I have dents in my shoulders from where my bra straps have laid over the years. And don't get me wrong, I love that I was blessed with nice breasts, they've got me far. But a C would be just as nice and easier to carry. However, I'd be lying if I said i wasn't wanting to do it for some other reasons, such as wanting to make my boobs a little more perky before they really start to knock my knees. And reducing them will do that. Also, just once I'd love to walk into Victoria Secrets or Fredricks of Hollywood and be able to pick a bra that fits right off the rack instead of asking at the counter and having them go in the back, only to find it's not big enough anyways. But the main reason is health concerns. Every woman in my family has gotten breast cancer except my Mom, who had a breast reduction in her early 30s. And I'm also worried about the amount of slouching I've been doing because of the weight of my boobs. Something awful I started to notice is that if I'm at a table in a meeting room or something, I actually rest my boobs on the table. I didn't really notice this because the table comes to that heighth, but I do. It's embarrassing. I just feel like I'm being ungrateful. But if I'm putting stress on my back at 24, what the hell am i going to be like at 34?
