WORTH IT

Like many others, I have been here lurking around since November when I started this process. I want to thank all you gals for sharing your journeys.
Back in 2001 I had a hysterectomy, after that is when my boobs just kept getting larger. I was always a C to a D cup before that.


Fast forward to November I went to see my PS ( who by the way did my daughters reduction 12 yrs ago.) 2 weeks after that I was approved by my insurance and here I wait for Feb 19 which cannot come quick enough!
I am 58 years young,I am looking forward to a pain free neck, shoulders and back. My size varies. I have bras in 38DDD, 40G 36FF

Tomorrow is the day!! I can't believe it's here! It seems like I waited so long and all of a sudden it's here! The last 3 weeks have flown by so quickly! Today I go and see my surgeon for all my final instructions and then the surgical center is suppose to call me this afternoon to give me a time to be there.
I am really getting nervous. So many emotions going on! It will all be worth it in the end. Right??
Thank you again to all you gals for sharing your journeys, it has helped me so much!
I will see you on the other side!

Went to see the surgeon today and all is set to go! I was scheduled to be at the surgical center at 7:30 am then when I got home the office called and had a cancellation so I need to be there at 6:15 which is much better! Lets get this over with bright and early! I am a coffee drinker so I won't have to hang around wanting that morning coffee.
It's so amazing how Drs are so different. I will have drains in for 8 days she said maybe more because my girls are bigger, can't use any ice and I noticed many of you used ice for pain.
I will keep you posted.
