Very weird I found this post seeing as how I am now sitting in my bed recovering from my breast reduction surgery I had on the 21! It's great you decided to go through with it, even while sitting here in my medical sports bra I am already so happy I've gone through with it. I was always so self conscious about my breasts but I can already tell they look amazing, and I also feel so much lighter already. I've always had a very hard time finding clothes that look normal and don't make me look huge. My friends who have seen me after the surgery say it looks as if I have been photoshopped. Good luck on your surgery !

My surgery is scheduled! December 27'th! I was just wondering though is it odd I am not going to have a pre op appointment? I asked the women if we should schedule it now on the phone and she said she didn't think so as the doctor already knew everything and unless I had more questions it wouldn't be necessary she made it very clear that if I needed to ask more questions I was more than welcome to come in, but it wouldn't be necessary unless I felt it was. Is this typical?

great you got a date!!! I have found every PS is completely differebt with they do things!! Call back and ask if they give you your scripts the day of or can you get them before so you are ready to go!! you know I would schedule another apointment!!! That way your mind is at ease! we squeezed one in two days before surgery!! i would just schedule one!!!! what a great Christmas gift!!! tell every one you want gift cards for cute bras and new shirts!!!! you will be amazed!!!
I am 5 wks post op and I did not have a pre op appt. My PS said I was very healthy with no health problems and I would not need a pre op. But when I was checked in at the hospital on the day of surgery, they do require you to have a pregnancy test if you still have a uterus. I questioned the nurse (at the Dr office) about a pre op appt and she said it was not neccessary but she would have the PS call me back and talk to me directly so he could answer my questions. Was happy that I did not have to drive back to the Dr office for another appt. (it is a 45 min drive for me) I had this surgery because of the severe muscle spasms in my neck, shoulders and back. I could not take the pain anymore. And I am 100% happy that I did it. I have absolutely no pain and my posture is greatly improved too. Good luck with your journey....keep us updated with your progress!

My PS didn't require a pre-op either. I live almost two hours away and don't know if that was part of it or not. But I did call several times with questions and they were very kind to answer them all. Don't hesitate and call if you would like to see your doc prior to surgery. If for no other reason than to calm your anxieties.
