WORTH IT
It almost seems like a lifetime ago already since i had the op. Its hard to remember what it was like to have big saggy boobs that i had to lift up to put in my bra.. Then they just hung there on my shoulders.. I would do this again in a heart beat and truly wished i had done it many years ago. I know that my procedure was hugely less invasive that a lot of ladies had to deal with and for that i am very fortunate. I think if you have small children you should try and find a surgeon that will do the lollipop procedure as my down time was only about 2 weeks.. Then i was back up and running at pretty much full capacity. I could not have done that with the full surgery. Having said that i have not been dissapointed at all with my results.. They have dropped considerably.. But are still perky (40 year old perky.. Not 18 year old perky) But since I am 40 thats ok. My husband loves them and every day i look down and am just so happy. I will post a picture of my 12 week old boobies in the next day or so.. My daughter keeps asking me if i still have my short boobies instead of my long ones... hahah that right there is worth it!

Lol. Loved your updates. So happy for you :). I too am having the lollipop procedure, so I am grateful to know its great as far as down time. After reading some of these experiences, was getting concerned that the time I booked off wasn't going to be enough. Thanks for sharing and your boobies look awesome :)

I think you look great . I did want to say the lollipop is great if your only having small amount removed like you but most women having BR need and want a lot more removed then the lollipop is no good , the anchor incision also gives more Lift . I personally asked my PS about the lollipop before my surgery and he said no way was it suitable for the results that I wanted . He explained that he uses that for much smaller reductions . I'm so glad your happy and as I said you look great :-)

I have a young child, too. It will be difficult not being able to pick him up. He's only 16 months, so he won't understand, but I have three other older kids who will be my slaves :)

I just read through your entire review. Your newbies look great! Congrats!! I'm just reading, reading, reading as I await insurance approval. Thanks for sharing your story! :)

I enjoyed reading your profile! We have similar issues with insurance.... I'm so glad it all worked out for you in the end! I'm hoping to hear something by the end of the week. Loved the comment about the short v/s long boobies! I had a similar question from my son when he was small! At that moment I didn't know if I should laugh or cry! I think I did both! Haha! Good luck!

So I know all you ladies will know my excitement...

So I know all you ladies will know my excitement today when i went for a chest xray. I was asked to remove my top and bra and put the gown on. Well I tell you what. In the past i would have been so uncomfortable to do that knowing that my big old knockers were laying on my tummy. So i proudly strutted out the changing room in my gown with my new perky boobs held high feeling all confident and surprisingly attractive. I think the xray technician was modestly surprised.. haha. Just wanted to share my happy [RS bleep] moment with all you lovely ladies. Its funny the things you can get enjoyment from post op!

That's Awesome. What a great feeling that must have been Chalupatamale!!! I can't wait to have my BR on April 11th. Your new boobies look so Fabulous!! I did take your advice you had written below, and I scheduled an extra appt with my PS to discuss my desired size. That turned out to be SUCH a good appointment. We talked at great length, and I am SO glad I took the time to communicate what I am hoping for if possible. My PS's nurse took detailed notes documenting the conversation, and my PS told both me and his nurse to remind him when he goes to mark me of exactly what I am hoping for. My nurse later showed me her notes, and explained that before he comes into the room to mark me, she will go over those notes with him. This has made my wait SO much less stressful. I hope you are thoroughly enjoying your beautiful new perky boobies!!!!

Its 8 weeks tomorrow for me and all is well. I have resumed all my normal lifestyles.. Even the ones I shouldn't have.. LOL
The boobies are doing great and I love them so much. Its so nice to be able to walk around the house without a bra or the need to hold them up with my hands or arms. I would often find myself resting a cup of tea on them like a shelf. Even though i am still way overweight I have a much better body image now and actually enjoy looking in the mirror. I keep recommending it to all my big boobied friends.. And when i see women in the stores I want to go up to them and say.. Have a breast reduction.. Its life changing. I am still obsessed with boobs.. The shape of them, the size of them. Anything to do with them. Not sure if that will ever go away. I seem to have settled on a 40D for now.. And I am happy with that. I am hoping that when i can finally get rid of this ongoing cold and chest cold cycle that i have been on since before Christmas that I can start enjoying exercise. Just when i think i am going to start a regime i get sick again. Now I just can't stop coughing. Anyhoo.. when i can lose some weight i will hopefully end up with a C. Yay. Either way. I am happy as a pig in poop to look down at my upwardly pointing nipples.. :)

Congrats. I hear ya on getting sick! I thought I had avoided all the with the winter colds and then got 2 different ones. And before that I had my peroid for 3 1/2 weeks. So talk about a delay. I am traveling this week and then back to the gym. I am no longer tired of looking at my boobs ( good thing) now it's the tummy flabs! Phase 3 has to start! Good luck to you
