So many things have changed since I had my breast reduction. FaceBook seems to have exploded with groups dedicated to talking about it. Perhaps my radar is just more finely tuned, but it seems like the topic of breast reduction is something that is more-talked-about than it was just years ago. I'm happy that more women are open to talking about it. On the other hand, there seem to be just as many people speaking out against it. They say "breast reduction is like slapping God in the face." Sheesh! I guess getting braces for your teeth is like slapping God in the face too?? What about eye glasses? I have a feeling that the anti-breast-reduction faction is comprised of men who just don't have a clue. Still, I'm careful who I tell about my surgery because I feel like people might judge me wrongly. I'm sure many women feel the same way.
When I started this blog, I was concerned about who might read it. Now, in hindsight, I'm so glad I didn't listen to the negative voices...because it seems like my experience has been helpful to others. My main point in writing today is to say "hey, how can I help you?" What questions do you have? Give me a comment if something has been helpful or if you need clarification. I'll help you or direct you to information if I can!
When I started researching breast reduction surgery, I came across a few helpful blogs. It was good to hear that I wasn't alone in my secret pain...and good to hear all the aspects of surgery that a doctor wouldn't think to tell me. I started writing privately just to sort out my feelings, but I think it's good to have this information out there. I hope it's helpful to someone. You are not alone!
