Reclaiming Health: My Breast Reduction Journey

May 21 2024 • Written by: Kate Hanson

Explore a journey of reclaiming health through a personal story of breast reduction surgery.

Welcome Post: Embracing My True Vue Health Goals

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Kate, and I’m excited to share my personal journey toward wellness and achieving my True Vue Health goals. As part of this journey, I recently underwent a breast reduction surgery, and I’m here to document my experiences, insights, and the transformation it has created within my life.

Why I Started This Blog

I created this blog to share my breast reduction journey with honesty and openness, driven by a two-part mission. Firstly, I want to illustrate the transformative power of setting intentions, making decisions, and pursuing goals that may initially seem out of reach or unprecedented in your life. By sharing my experiences, I hope to inspire others to set meaningful goals and trust in their ability to achieve them, guided by their own expectations and beliefs.

Secondly, I aim to provide an honest and vulnerable account of my surgery for those who are considering a similar path. I want to offer support, guidance, and a touch of humor to help demystify the process and reassure others that they are not alone in their journey. Through my story, I hope to contribute to the broader conversation about body positivity, self-care, and overall health, while making readers laugh along the way.

Post 1: The Decision to Commit to a Breast Reduction Surgery

Deciding to undergo breast reduction surgery was not an obvious choice, but it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health and well-being. Here’s a look at what led me to this point.

For years, I struggled with physical discomfort and emotional distress due to my large breasts. Along with chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, I faced the constant challenge of finding clothes that fit properly. Compounding these issues, I was diagnosed with a prolactinoma, which, along with other health problems, felt intrinsically tied to my large breasts. These combined health challenges became an excuse for me to stay in the same place for a long time, feeling overwhelmed and stuck. More importantly, my self-esteem and confidence were significantly affected.

Since I was 18 years old, I have wanted to have a breast reduction surgery however at that time the surgeon suggested I wait until having children which I don't regret doing.  Back in August/ September I decided to choose a True Vue Health Goal (i.e. True Vue is similar to deja vue, only it's a similar feeling with a future memory. More on this in future blogs) as I had not yet applied this knowledge to a physical aspect of my life.  I began by researching the procedure, gathering testimonials, and watching videos of others who had undergone breast reduction surgery. I was initially told that since the pandemic that has been a large impact to surgery timelines and that there is a 2 year wait list for this type of  surgery.  That's when I knew this was going to be my first True Vue Health Goal  -something that seems impossible or you have no idea how to make it happen.

Just as I encourage my clients to do, I immediately began the work to bring my desired outcome to life. I got crystal clear on the details of my True Vue Health Goal vision and then determined my next obvious steps. By working backward from my ultimate goal, I identified the necessary actions to move myself closer to my chosen outcome.

Stay tuned to learn about the initial inspired actions I took and how, over the next eight months, I released 55 pounds and healed from a successful breast reduction surgery. What started as a mere idea turned into a reality in just eight months, despite initially having no clue how I would achieve it.
