I finally have a surgery date for a breast reduction! It’s something I’ve been wanting for years now, both for self image and to mitigate my chronic back and neck pain. Has anyone else had this surgery? Any tips? My surgery isn’t until October. I doubt my insurance is going to help, so that’s a little bit of a stressor, but my parents are helping pay for it because they know how much it impacts my life.

      I had a breast reduction about a year ago. I fought hard to get it and to have it covered by insurance. It was something I really wanted. I don't regret it. But I did have some very big body issues after. It felt like my body wasn't mine anymore and I went through a bit of a depression while I tried to get used to this new body.
