WORTH IT

I have been thinking about this it seems for years now. I'm in my late 50s and I'm a 40GG. I've had large breasts for my whole life. When I was younger it was fine...I didn't mind being a DD or DDD, but gravity set in and now I'm very uncomfortable with back and neck pain and they are so large that I can't buy a bra off the rack. I never said anything to my doctor about it...why? I have no idea why, but last winter my back kept going out on me and I was in a lot pain. When I mentioned it to my doctor, she referred me to a PS. Liked her immediately. Told me I was a good candidate.

Between her schedule and mine, it has taken months to work out the surgery date. It is scheduled for December 7th. I have great disability coverage at work so I am taking 3 weeks off. One thing I've realized is that when doctors give you instructions for recovery please listen to them no matter how good you feel after surgery.

I have so many emotions about this....happy, excited, scared, worried about my recovery. I'm so glad I found this site.

I am so happy you are here with us!   Now let the ladies help support and carry you through this process.  Your back will thank you soon.  

I agree with your comment about listening to the doctors on the recovery time.  Your body needs rest and time to recover after any surgical procedure.  Rushing will not do you any good.  I was happy to hear you are taking three weeks off work.  You will be extremely happy about that.  

Keep posting and before you know it December 7th will be here.

@ Greek, how long did it take for your insurance to approve the surgery? and Who do you have coverage with?

I met with the PS end of May. It took bet. 30-60 days for insurance co (HAP)to approve. They only approved it for 60 days. PS's schedule was beyond that so they had to start process again. PS called me in late October and told me that it was set for Dec. 7.

tawlie....I'm okay...I go from being very calm to being very nervous. I was very busy in the morning -- laundry and last minute grocery shopping -- and then I sat down and watched "The Help". Now I'm putting clothes away, dusting my floors and getting my bed nice and comfy. I'll let everyone know how I'm doing when I'm up and awake in a day or two. Thanks everyone for your support.
