Tapanda:
Yep, absolutely relate. And yeah, can't afford a removal (regular reduction really only works in a specific range, and radical reduction isn't done by many surgeons.) I haven't worn a normal bra or measured in years at this point but I know the last bra I bought was a 40H and.... just don't wanna think about that.
It's also one of the reasons I haven't bothered trying to gain a ton more even though I want to be bigger. Just can't handle the tits growing more, especially since they're already so big.
Ugh I am so sorry about that but I'm there with you, shit's so expensive and really discouraging, definitely hoping the best for your back and may we both get the money to get these pesky things taken care of someday!
