Welcome Jeanie! Good luck with your surgery! I had thought about surgery for years as well, but finally took the plunge last year and haven't regretted it at all! My only regret...I'm not smaller! I think you will love the fact that you finally did it, and trust me when I say that the anxiety pre-op is so much worse than the recovery! What size are you? Are you and your daughter having surgery with the same doctor? Will it be around the same time? Wishing you both the best!

Thank you Symone. It's still about 2 months away, but I'm already nervous as heck! Iowa: Another one of my fears is that I won't be small enough. I really would like the option of going without a bra sometimes. I was last measured at a 32G. I'm 5'4" and 125lbs. My daughter and I are using the same doctor. He was recommended to us by our Internist. I've read good things about him and done about as much research as I think I can. I would love to know someone else who has had their reduction done by him. My daughter will be having her surgery December 18th. I figure I'll be a few weeks ahead of her, so I'll be able to take a couple of days off from work to take care of her. Funny thing about all of this is that I appear to be waaaay more nervous than she is about the whole thing. I do read that some women wish they had gone smaller. I'm not sure how much we have to say about that. It sounded like in my consultation that they don't like to go too small as it is a risk for blood circulation. I will let him know that I want to go as small as possible. He said each breast was about 800 grams and he said the insurance company will require him to take 400. Since that's only 50%, I sure would like to go smaller! I've also noticed how much I am all of a sudden staring at other women's chests. When I see one I would like to be like, I'm always tempted to ask if they would stand still for a photo!

Make sure you tell them what you want , coz the last thing you need is disappoint , its so hard to judge size I was a 14 H ( Australian ) I asked to be around a D/DD now when they unrapped me I could have cried they looked so small . I thought I'd done the wrong thing , but it's been 8 weeks now and they have seateled in really well and I believe they will be a DD . Regardless of the size you are and want to be PLEASE remember it is a huge shock and it will take some getting use to . BUT you will LOVE it .

Hey, Minnesota! Congrats on your approval. I was a 34H. I had just under 500 gm removed from each breast and am still a DD. Usually there is a minimum amount required by the insurance company and this is based on your measurements and BMI. Just make sure that you and your doctor are on the same page. You don't want to have totally different ideas of what is going to happen. Good luck!
