TODAY WAS THE DAY!!!! Today was my breast reduction. Signed in at 5:30 AM. Surgery was at 7:30 AM. The procedure was just over three hours long.  I checked out of the hospital around noon.  I am sore, but there were no muscle or tendons cut through, just tissue, making it a fairly quick out patient procedure. 
There simply aren't words for the tremendous relief I feel at finally having average sized breast.  Already I feel like my posture has improved and wasn't at all surprised when I was told FIVE pounds of tissue was removed.  I went from a size J to a size C and already I am in love.  I have drains for the next couple of days and in a surgical bra for the next week or so, then a sports bra for a week or so, then I finally get to wear a new bra.  You have no idea how excited I am as the last time I was a size C, I was in middle school.
After I am healed and in a regular bra, I will post a picture of my new look. This I knew would help me physically with all the back pain I experienced, but have been surprised already at how much it has helped me mentally and emotionally.  I love my body a little but more now as I no longer feel like it is literally dragging me down.
A special shout out and thanks to my friend who drove me and stayed with me through my procedure and supported me in it all and of course a special thanks to both parents who watched my kids all day, allowing me the change to have this done and rest the way that was needed.  I feel so blessed to have and feel the love and support I received today!
