To want a breast reduction before I lose weight.

Bit of an admission here. My relationship with my breasts is not great. I in fact detest them! They drive me so crazy that, when I read about the guy who cut off his own arm wit a home made guillotine, when the NHS refused to do it. I thought oooh I wonder if that works with tits too.
I am currently a 42H and was one early developer, my first bra was a 30DD and i weighed 8 stone, I was 5'9 and 10 years old!!!! Freaky huh. So I know no amount of weight loss is going to bring them to the size I want (truthfully a totally flat chest would be ideal).

AIBU to think that considering they weight 2 1/2 stone on there own that I could get them reduced.

You are in serious denial about your weight issues if you think your breasts weight 2.5st.

Have you ever seen a growth specialist? 5ft 9 at 10 years old is excessive.

I have lost a lot of weight with no exercise so don't let that put you off.

I'm sorry, but nobody is going to do cosmetic surgery on someone with a BMI of 45. Plus, your breasts will, whether you like it or not, have a fair bit of fat in them, and you will have loose skin you'll want to get rid of when you do have them done.

Had a breast reduction 20 years ago. It is major, major surgery, very painful, and recovery is slow. Plus, they do grow back, particularly if you put onweight, or get pregnant. Mine have grown back from a C to a DD.

Oh and they won't even look at my DD 19yo who has 34K at the age of 19. Her BMI is 31 and they won't refer her until she's got that way down.

Really sorry, I do know just how much they impact on your life. DD found Slimming Workd really good.

"Sometimes they grow back. Seriously."
