I wish you luck in getting the reduction surgery. I was very large, I believe I was 42J now I am a 42D. I certainly do not suggest that you go the same path I did to get the reduction surgery, I had breast cancer. I was diagnosed with DCIS in 2009. During the first consultation with the cancer surgeon she asked me if I had considered a reduction and of course my answer was yet but my insurance company would not pay for it - her response was 'they will now because of the amount of tissue that will be removed'. It has been 11 years since I underwent my lumpectomy/reduction surgery and I really do not miss my large breasts. My suggestion would be to go to a different surgeon and get their opinion. Good luck!

I will let you know I am a DD and having implants over the muscle taken out. They are 6lbs total. I will be down to an A but I can't wait. I think it will affect my shoulder/neck pain drastically. I also have have both my rotator cuffs done on my shoulders.

I also have large breasts and definitely have neck and shoulder pain after three failed shoulder surgeries!! My niece had a breast reduction and told me to have one so I mentioned it to my doctor (whom is the same doctor as hers) and he said that is not the cause of my problems! Have to agree with him I guess but 44DD I think would qualify for a reduction??

Thank you! I'll try this! Currently I'm using 5 lb hand weights for chest, back, arm strengthening. I do yoga daily as well. I'm excited to try something new. :)
