ok so im having top surgery a week from today at vanderbilt!!! super stoked...but really stressing the pain....and recovery time, my intent is to get back to work asap...i am very large chested so im also worrying about "doggie ears" and just being a stout big guy...

other than that, i am super stoked!!! just thought id share the ethusiasm

Thats awesome. Depending on the kind of work you do you may be able to get back to work quickly (as in 2 weeks). 
Congrats,
Myles

im having a billateral done...there is a dr there that helps out trans guys so im actually getting it done by my insurance....he thinks i wont need a revision...but if i did i wont let myself do it until i lose a bunch of weight....two weeks...wow fun times!!

I would say at the least, maybe longer. It was two weeks before I started to feel normal again maybe a little longer, I also had DI.  Not sure if size matters on recovery time but I was a 36 B on one side C on the other, so pretty medium sized.That is great your insurance is covering it, I had to pay out of pocket for the whole thing. With travel and all it was not cheap. That would be great if you don't need a revision.
Good Luck and keep us posted on how it goes!
Myles
