WORTH IT

Hello! First and foremost I want to thank all of you brave courageous women for sharing your experiences. You have encouraged me to share mine and be a blessing to someone else like you are to me. I'm 26 y/o and have had boobs since 1st grade. I've always wished for smaller boobs and 2012 just happens to be the year that I get to move forward into a new season in my life. I don't know my current size for sure, but I'm going to get measured and find out. I would like to be a C/D. I'm nervous because I haven't had any surgeries before in my life except dental. I truly desire to get into shape physically but these breast have always been a hindrance. Not only physically but mentally as well. My surgery is a few weeks away and I'm excited and truly blessed to have an amazing support system of family and friends. As I walk this journey, I will share details along the way. Please give me some tips to help me along this journey. I'm happy to hear anything you want to tell me. Thanks for being here. Much love and hugs

Tweedy - thank you so much Hun! It feels good to have a place to discuss a topic like this because its surely uncomfortable discussion around the wrong people LoL! I'm so excited that I'm doing everything to make sure I can just sit back, heal and relax after the surgery. I expect to receive favorable results in Jesus name :-) Thanks for the love and support Hun :-)

I'm so glad this is the year to a new you! You will be so happy after all is said and done. A lot of emotions start rolling around, just know that it's ok to feel the way you do. After my surgery I had a flood of emotions and wasnt so sure about the choice I had made because suddenly I felt so small. But after a few days I became more comfortable with the new me, and now I couldnt be any happier with the choice I've made. The weight is off my neck and shoulders, they're perky and cute, and just today my friend saw me for the first time and almost cried. She said I looked so beautiful and that it looked like I had dropped thirty pounds. She was amazed at how much better I looked with the right size boobies! You'll be just fine and there are lots of women here to support you!

mybubbles - what an awesome testimony! I can't wait until my final results. Not too many people know what's taking place with me, so it's going to be a surprise afterwards. There is such a freedom that's going to come forth for me and I can't wait. My only concern is that I don't want to have those pockets under the armpits so I'm definitely reiterating that to my surgeon :-) Thanks for your love and support. It's truly helpful in this process :-) Much Love Hun!

Hey Ladies! 2 weeks and 4 days left before my life changing experience takes place :-) I'm so excited about what's ahead of me and I'm ready to be FREE! I love sleeping on my stomach, so that's the main thing that concerns me. I'm praying that my doctor does the liposuction under my armpits to prevent those pouches, but I'm also thinking that I should be embracing some work outs to help me with that. Any suggestions? I'm hoping for nice light weight boobs that will be beautiful once they are healed and revealed...to myself that is since I'm single LoL! And proud :-) So much running through my mind and hoping that I can get everything done before the surgery. Does anyone have a helpful checklist that they used? LoL! I so appreciate you all. I'm thrilled about this whole process :-)

I also was scared which is why it took me so long to do this. Now I can feel less weight and its nice to go to any store knowing u will finally be able to dress like others !!! As for check list move things forward and make sure u have slip on shoes or flip flops. My main issue is bending over so socks are out for now. Get Exlax and reg Tylenol or Motrin for after. Good luck and we will be routing for a safe happy new you!!!

Sassycharly - Thanks Hun! I'm assuming the Exlax is to help pass some of the anesthesia? I definitely have some flip flops on deck lol! I will be sure to stock up on the Motrin. I hear a lot of people say the Percocet causes them to itch and I definitely don't want that :-) Thanks for the love Hun. It's sooooo helpful :-)

Welcome, MsC! November 8 will be here before you know it! Could you call your PS office and ask if the lipo will be included? Good luck and keep us posted!

Iowa71 - You are so right, I will inquire again to verify. She told me that when the tissue is removed, it will tighten the sides. Can anyone verify that who's had the surgery? Thanks so much for the support Hun :-)

Hi Redeemed. Trolling thru RS & I wanted to ask about the lipo under your armpits. Your insurance covers that too & is that standard?

Hi bootiebeauty78 - I think some surgeons do it as part of the procedure. I don't know if they charge extra. I'm going to find out for sure because I want to be happy with the final results. :-)

13 days to go. I feel so overwhelmed like there is so much to do. I'm praying for peace and trying to rest as much as possible. Does anyone else experience that rush as well? I found out that my insurance doesn't require a precertification but I know I still need to go get my clearance for surgery from the primary care doctor. Did anyone go see a chiropractor to have their back x-rayed before their procedure to check to the before and after of things? Just curious :-)

What size are you right now? This is a good guide: http://bustyresources.wikia.com/wiki/How-to_determine_bra_size Bending over while measuring was a huge lightbulb moment for me. Good luck on your surgery!
