Done with DDD's - Exeter, NH

Hi Ladies!
My name is Kaci and I am 24 years old. I have a small frame and the extra weight from my breasts causes back/neck/shoulder pain, headaches, and rashes. I am so tired of feeling like this! I have been reading your posts and stories and I have been so encouraged by all of you! I have been dreaming of this surgery since I was 13 years old. I went to the doctors when I was 15 years old and had a consultation regarding breast reduction surgery, she discouraged me due to the possibility that I might not be able to breast feed...I am way past that now! I cannot wait to have this surgery. Currently, I am a 36 DDD and when I am at my thinnest(I am working at getting there again!) I am a 32 DDD.I had my first appointment with my PS today at 8:30 am! It went SO WELL. My PS answered every question I had before I even asked. I feel like the only thing I have left to do is decide between a B or C cup and hope that my insurance covers the procedure!

Hi everyone,
Over much debate with myself, I have decided to put up photos. I am not comfortable with this- however, the photos other women have posted certainly ease my concerns about the procedure. When looking at photos online of before and after breast reductions, I am constantly scanning for breasts that are similar to mine so I will have a good idea what they will look like after the surgery. I hope that this helps someone! This is not easy for me, but I am so thankful other women have the courage to post their photos! I will post upsdates as I go along in this process (still haven't heard back from insurance company- it's only been a week though!) and possibly after photos as well(assuming everything looks alright:).

This is a much anticipated post for me! I'll start by giving a bit of background about the past year, as it has much to do with this final breast reduction descision.

Here it goes:

I have been working as a seamstress for the past few years. As with every girl on here, the neck strain/fatigue/back and shoulder pain/etc. has been wearing on me- especially in my line of work. I recently took the past few months off from this job (for quite a few reasons), the main reason is the pain(hunched over at a desk all day/night-heavy workloads-no sleep etc.) I have been working on getting a job with consistent hours, not seasonal, and something that I can do out side of my home. I just got married in 2012 and moved in with my husband and sewing is not ideal where we are currently residing. Anyway, I made this decision for the surgery at the same time I applied for a temp agency. The woman at the temp agency has been looking for a job for me all while I have been waiting to hear about the date of my surgery. I called my insurance company today--- they approved me! My cost will be $5,000 (I know, not the best coverage, but I am so happy to get this surgery- the cost doesn't even matter at this point). As soon as I heard this I called my Surgeons office immediately to schedule my surgery date (August 7, 2013- Only one month to go!!!)... and no sooner do I hang up with her, I get a call from my temp agency telling me that I have an interview tomorrow, at the same place my husband works! :) it's a great day!
