Tata Redemption

I always had large breasts. At 7 or 8 years old I got my first bra. It was a 'B' and too small. I continued with bras far too small for me for another 23 years through teasing and staring and back pain from 36-I sized breasts.

Finally I asked my doctor for help. She sent me to a surgeon who told me that he'd eliminate my pain, but I'd have to give up being able to breastfeed. I was devastated. I started talking to friends, family, co-workers, etc. until I found a recommendation of a breast surgeon who could leave my milk ducts attached to my nipples.

Luckily, my surgery and recovery was very successful. I then went to my doctor and told her that I am ready to start a family. I reminded her that I've had reduction surgery and she told me that my breasts were too large for breast feeding before the surgery!

I'm finally ready! I can't wait!
