No belly button? That''s freaky.
I personally wouldn''t have plastic surgery. I wouldn''t feel like me. I''d feel fake. I love all of me, including my imperfections. I don''t have any judgments for those who do choose to have plastic surgery.
That is the freakiest thing... my god why on earth would you do that???Date: 3/31/2008 11:39:23 PM

Isn''t that gross?!? I *wish* I loved all of me but I don''t have that kind of confidence. Oh well. Still think I am too chicken though

Breast reduction in 2003. I was 21.
My ladies were also a 32GG.
I had to order bras from England because that was the only place I could get my size that didn''t cost 75 dollars or more a bra. I would get up and my back would instantly start hurting unless I put on a bra. I had women poking at my boobs (Women I DIDN''T know, at MY WORK) asking if they were real. I didn''t get it because of that though-I can deal with comments. I couldn''t deal with the back pain and the fact that I was going to be going to culinary school across the country and supporting that extra weight while standing/cooking for at least 10 hours a day.
My surgeon took one look at me, and said that it wouldn''t be a problem and that mine were the biggest breasts he''d ever dealt with. Also he said that it was better to do it while I was young and relatively painless instead of waiting until the back pain had increased. Insurance was no problem either. $20,000 and my parents paid the $500 deductible. The removed almost 7 and a half pounds of breast tissue. That''s the size of a newborn. Never once have I regretted it. Right after surgery I was a 32 C, but have since ''relaxed'' into a 34 DD.
If I had any kind of breast cancer scare, I''d have a double mastectomy in a heartbeat.
When I was 19, my mom found out she had breast cancer and one night she was crying to me about how she wouldn''t look like a woman anymore without breasts (she''d already decided to have a double mastectomy) and I told her, ''Mom, you''re living my dream.'' And my dad chimed in with, ''Breasts don''t make a woman.'' She instantly cheered up.

Oh Freke! My heart goes out to your Mom.
And I''m so glad you are now a comfortable size!
