MY Dream FINALLY COMES TRUE! - Milwaukee, WI

Well I am not sure how to start but I have always been busty growing up but not like this. But it began to get out of hand when I began having children, especially after my last ones which was twins. As they got bigger I began to have alot of back pain lower/mid/upper and shoulder pains. It had got really bad this past March when I couldn't get out of bed for about two weeks. I was worried cause my birthday was coming and I did not want spend my birthday like that. I got better enough to get out for my birthday. Then like a month later my shoulder went bad I couldn't use it at all. I knew had it had to be because of my breast. So I went to an PS whom accepts my insurance. He explained everything to me and answered all my questions. He was very nice and didn't rush me. He made feel very comfortable. Then he had me go into one of the rooms to get undressed.He checked me out suggested that I become a C cup and took pictures/ notes. They submitted to my insurance which they denied. My primary doctor and PS corresponded about my condition and she really wanted me to have the surgery. So I kind of gave up but she gave me a pep. talk about not giving up and how I would benefit from the surgery during one of my visits to her for a follow up on my physical therapy treatments. So towards the end of Oct.2011 I had the option to switch HMO's, so I did. I got in touch with the lady who work with getting pre auhro.'s at the PS office and asked her if she could resubmit all my documents again after Nov. 1, 2011.....So...this past Friday(11/25/2011)I went to check the mail.....and their was a letter I thought was about my son but IT WAS THE APPROVAL LETTER!!!! I just screamed YES! YES! I immediately called my mom lol.But I was so happy words can't express how I feel I been wanting this done like over 10years now. The office was closed due to the holiday but I will be calling the PS office first thing in the morning!!!! I know I sound desperate but I am so ready to be healed from all this pain and to get some kind of confidence back... So I will keep you guys posted on the scheduled day of surgery!!! Please feel free to give me any advice, comments, tips, or motivation/inspiration!!

I have decided to do a video update!!Since I am so far behind in updating about the BR.... Excuse me looking crazy is the video lol I didn't curl my hair or nothing today lol

Sorry I found out that I can't post video unless I go through youtube. It would be nice to have posted my video instead of typing up my hospital experience and how I felt up until now. But I will post all of that later today!!

Well I am a little over 2 weeks post I am feeling pretty good besides the swelling still a little sore on the left side of my breast. I hues that is from the loop my Dr. said he did..It is still swollen on both sides so it don 't really look like he did... I go from my 3 week post op appyointment this Friday... I guess he will be removing the glue that he used to close my incisions. So I will post about how that appointment go.... I also would like to give details about my "big day" I wished I would've posted sooner but I have been resting and taking it easy and along with taking care of my children..... So ok my big day was Dec. 8 and I had to be at the hospital at 5:30am..but my surgery was schedule to be at 7:30am. I got there and checked in and they called me back exactly at 5:30am. They immediately got my height and weight. Then they took me to my room had me undress so I could get into my hospital gown and then they got vital/ put in a I.V. Around 6:55 or so they wheeled me back to the area near the surgery room. That is where the my Dr. meet with me to discuss and any questions I may have had, then he did the drawings. After that I meet the anesthesia guy (which he was great too). Next I woke up small wrapped up breast lol.... The pain was not bad I stayed taking my med like clock work and resting! I feel great no back/ shoulder pain!! Now I just can't wait until the swelling go away.....

Well I went to my post-op appointment Friday and everything went well.. He remove the tape strips it was called dermabond prineo..I still have alot of swelling of course but that is expected. But for the most he said I am healing great!! I think so too!! I love my new boob and the fact that I don't have any back/ shoulder pain!! Which equals no more popping pain pills!! YAYYYY!!!
