Heyher 581 Posted January 13, 2013 I also remembering recuperating after breast reduction that first week was HELL! I couldn't even lift my arms until a week out! If you got through that this will be smooth sailing!! Thank you so much for this!!!! I needed to hear from someone who had a similar experience with pain after the reduction. I don't expect I will go into surgery with the expectation of smooth sailing. But I think I can go into surgery with out having a complete melt down. And everyone who posted on this thread. You all have helped so much!! I'm no longer in full on panic mode and have moved back to just nervous. I really do appreciate everyone's encouragement. Gotta keep my eye on the prize!!! Getting back into my size 8 pants. :-) 1 stomlin75 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
