Thumbs up Hi All...

I have been offline for awhile due to another surgery, a breast reduction this time. I am 4 days post op., and am really enthusiastic about my results already!! I had 2 lbs of tissue removed, have drainage tubes, and am very tightly bound plus wearing a sports bra 24/7. Even with that much going on, I feel as if it is easier to keep my shoulders back and work towards better posture.

Has anyone else had a reduction specifically to alleviate TOS pain, and if so, are you happy you had it done?

Thanks!!

Cala

I hope that helps you a lot.
Mine would reduce just fine if I could lose some weight-LOL
That's a project in itself!

Glad to hear you're doing well after surgery- YIKES, that sounds painful! I need to have some reduction surgery (or lipo) just south of the breast area (too much "spare tire") but I'm like Jo, weight loss would take care of most of that problem....
