Breast Reduction: Stories

To finally rid myself of the emotional and physical discomfort these things have caused since the day they came in!

I have hated my boobs pretty much since the day I noticed they were bigger than most girls my age (about 7th grade). I have wanted a reduction pretty much since then as well. I am now 24 and have a 2 year old, and let me tell you having a child does not help in the boob department when you are already too big. When I told the nurse, at my first BR consult, that I breast fed my son for a little over a year and was so excited because everyone had told me my boobs would shrink to nothing afterwards, and what do you know I'm the exact same size!!! She said she's never heard of that happening before, yeah me either. A couple years ago right before I had become pregnant I had lost about 30 lbs. and only my band size shrunk one size but the cup size stayed an F, then pregnancy of course made them bigger. After breast feeding I am now a 36G, I have just lost 15lbs. and nothing so far. I'm 5' 2" and currently 165, I'm trying to loose about 30 more lbs. or get as close as possible before I have BR. I had a first consult about a month ago but then found out in order to go through my insurance I have to be seen at his medical office instead of the cosmetic office so my apt is June 11, which can't come soon enough. I'm just scared my insurance won't cover it because of my weight so I'm really trying to get another 5 lbs off before my apt. Wish me luck!

I had my appointment with PS on Monday so now it's just the waiting game. They still need the paperwork from my chriopractor, but hopefully they can get it sent out soon. I'm such an impatient person, and I just want to know if I'm going to actually be able to have this procedure so I can start palnning everything (I'm such a planner). I also have only told my family a couple of close friends because I didn't want to jinxs myself by telling everyone I'm doing this and then not get approved. Cross your fingers for me!!!

I have date!!!!!! August 22!!! Pre-op is August 13.

only two more days!!!! Just running around trying to make sure the house is clean, laundry done, and freezer meals ready to go! If it weren't for having all of this stuff to do before Wednesday I'd probably just sit here and freak out at the thought of having surgery.
