Hello All, This is my first entry approximately 1...
Hello All, This is my first entry approximately 1 week from surgery. I have thought about breast reduction for years but in the last couple of months Ive decided its very necessary. Getting approved was fairly easy. I went to my Primary she gave me a referral, I scheduled my consultation for 2 weeks later. Surgeons office called 6 days later to let me know I was approved. I scheduled my surgery for a month later which will be 6/12/15. I actually found out the surgeon operated the same procedure on a friend of mine. Big Plus!!!
So about me 32 and I wear a 42DDD.I am hoping to get to a full C but I am definitely ok with a D cup. I don't ever recall wearing a training bra, A or B cup.
I am excited about the surgery but now its moving to nerves and anxious especially now since Ive gotten the leave from work and all that jazz approved. I am confident in my doctor he is super cool with his personality and he seemed real in the business of helping others. Ive done my research so I am not worried. The factors that worry me: will I look awkward, the comments when I return to work, regaining nipple sensitivity and how long before I am fully recovered. These are all things I will have to take 1 day at a time. Reading all the blogs really help however the mind is powerful thing and it will go all kinds of places. My pre opt appointment is Wednesday so I have to start writing down all my concerns and questions and hopefully the nurse or doctor is efficient. I am going to post some before and after pictures. I have to get a friend to come over and take the photos for me. Until then stay encouraged.

Pre Surgery Appointment Complete/Whole New Set of Worry
Good Afternoon All,
So I had my pre surgery appointment today which was a verification of my demographics and we went over my insurance. After that I had to be seen by Nurse Practitioner she asked a bunch of questions and did a physical. I also had to withdraw blood and measure my EKG. The appointment went fine the nurse was really professional and candid. She also went over dos and dont's prior to surgery.
I am still very excited for this surgery however I am starting to really stress about what size my breast are going to be. I am currently wearing a 42DDD. Per my insurance 300 grams can be removed from each breast- I don't know what that will leave me with. I don't know if he can take out more and that is the minimum, or if he has to only take that amount. I would be super duper happy with a C cup but I will be very satisfied with a D. I wont get a chance to talk to my surgeon again until the day of surgery but I am really stressing. If I am going to end in a DD I don't know if its worth it to take the risk. IF ANYONE CAN SHED LIGHT ON THIS PLEASE COMMENT. I have been on google trying to find anything that can ease my mind- so far no success. I am prayerful and hopeful things will end up the way I need and want. Some people say 300 grams is equivalent to 1 cup size but I am just not sure. Overall I am in a good place but I am just worried. I am really looking forward to comments.

Night Before Surgery
Good Evening All,
Its the night before surgery and Im feeling all sorts of emotions. I feel excited, nervous, anxious and afraid. Today Ive been worried about all the things that can go wrong. I need to think of all the things that will be right, but when Im alone my mind goes. I need to go to sleep because Im super tired. I anticipated I would be up all night staring at the clock. This will not be the case. I am going to sleep well. Not sure if I will be able to update tomorrow. But if you read my blurb please say a little prayer for me. Good Night All
