Apparently my boobies are public property
I have not been at all shy about my upcoming surgery. Who I haven't told, my mother, sister and receptionist have. And they told people. The joys of a small town.
So it has been a steady stream of well wishes and good lucks the last week or so. Which has been wonderful and heartwarming. But the one comment that keeps cropping up is "So, will you have a breast reduction?"
OK. I know that my boobies are big. They have a semi-independent life apart from the rest of me. They enter a room a second before I do. I spend more on bras than any other clothes item.
But really. Isn't that a little personal??

do they have their own postal code? if so, no its not too personal since Canada Post says so. If not maybe. I understand from other posts that they'll likely shrink to the size where folks will think you had the reduction surgery ( I don't know, is that good news?)!

again, I have no idea, but is it possible to loose say 1/3 of 300 pounds (I don't know your weight nor your goal, I'm just stabbing at numbers here) and not loose a bunch of cup/bra sizes? My original post was perhaps too flippant and if you feel so, I apologize!
At the moment they could have their own postal code but please, oh Lord! Let them shrink!!
That was my morning chuckle lol
I can understand your feeling that it's a bit private ...I'm waiting to see what happens to mine
But they don't have a postal code 
Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.
The will shrink....a lot. I had a reduction years ago, and didn't have that much to shrink....and yet they still found their way to deflation. On the brighter side, they don't hurt me when I run.....my panni....well that's a different story!
I think because you're being so open, people are just generally curious.
Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!
I totally agree that this is uncalled for. It's like asking other WLS patients if they're going to get a panni or tummy tuck afterwards. Way too personal!
