I went to the doctor today to refill various things, as well as to have him check out my shoulder, which has been hurting. I figured that I had probably pinched a nerve, especially with all the time I spend on crutches.
Well, I was right about the pinched nerve. Evidently, though the crutches aren't the problem, though. The doctor felt that the pinched nerve is caused by my bra strap and the weight therein. Then, she asked if I had thought of having a reduction. Well, I have, but I kind of wanted to lost 30 more pounds, first. She said that, at this point, she would have no problem recommending me for a reduction now, at current weight.
So, not really sure what I want to do with that news. I might take a referral and start looking for opinions. I still really want to lose those 30 pounds first, though. I also want to make sure that who ever did this goes no smaller than a D cup. I have no interest in going down to a B or something. I still want boobs, just not this big of boobs.
EDIT: I probably should have been a little more clear about what I meant above. At 5'3", I am a 36F or a 34FF, depending on how the bra is cut. I am about a size 14. My chest measurement is actually bigger than my hips. When I don't wear a bra, my breasts settle just below my ribcage. I have very tissuey breasts, which means weight gain and loss doesn't do much for the cup size, just the back size. It also leaves them rather saggy instead of plump. I've also been blessed with adorable, tiny nipples that are lost on so much mammary.
To me, a D cup seems really small. I'm talking a Victoria's Secret D, by the way, not an Olga D or something. I also don't see where a B or a C would look funny on my frame, which is why I'd like to stay around a D: a 34D would be my ideal.
Size is such a relative thing. From someone of average size (B to C), I can see where D would seem really big. However, when you can fit on cup of your bra over your boyfriend's, who wears a 7 1/2 hat, head like a yarmulke and have it fit perfectly, D seems damned tiny.
That said, I'm not yet quite sure what I want to do. I think I may do a couple of consults. Not to mention, I really want to call the guy in Brookline who does the laser bra and see if he takes my insurance.
