This surgery will change everything in my life in the best way possible and I will finally feel more comfortable in my own skin.
Auckland
I am 18 years old and I have 14G-H sized breasts which have been a constant problem from the age of 15. They are way too large for my body and I have excruciating back pains that have made it very difficult to pursue my dance career. Because of the weight of my breasts I have immense amount of back pain and gained horrible stretch marks. The size of my boobs don't match my body as I normally wear size medium clothes, which is why my breasts are so straining on my body. My doctors have said I need to exercise first, to lose weight and see if that creates any change, but when I exercise its so painful on my breasts, but they also press on my lungs stopping me from breathing properly, also creating rib pain. I am a pretty active person and find it frustrating that I cannot exercise like I want to. With this vicious circle it means I'm constantly having trouble sleeping too!
I have been to see many GP's regarding this and I have been brushed off, not listened to and treated like a child who doesn't know what she's talking about. If this carries on for too long It could get worse and I could develop an uneven spin and have to have major spinal surgery which will cost ridiculous amounts of unnecessary money. I find it very hard to concentrate due to the pain that I endure each day which means I'm putting very little energy into my Uni work which unfortunately effects my grades. The frustration I feel is unbearable I cannot wait for the day where I can just simply wear something I want to wear comfortably, without being sexualised and judged for it.
The funds will go to the breast reduction surgery and if there is extra it will go to bras and tops as I will not fit any of my clothes after the surgery. If I don't not raise all the money, it will still go to the surgery.
Surgery 22 March 2019
Thank you so very much to everyone who has donated i am very grateful, I did keep trying to get the surgery through the heath system and they have finally decided to look into my case. I have recently been in for a consolation and they have approve everything and they have said I will have an appointment in a few month, just waiting on a date at the moment. I will be using the money on the rest of the costs like new clothes and bras as I will not fit any of my current ones, I will be off work for a few weeks so it will also be funding that. So if anyone would like there money back I will transfer the money back to you.
Thank you again for all your support
lots of love
