WORTH IT
Hello Ladies!!! I am so glad my guy found this site and shared it with me. I started researching breast reduction surgery about 6 years ago but just met with a fantastic PS last week. We are currently waiting for the approval letter from the insurance company, and then a date will be set. I am currently a 36H and suffer from severe back, neck and shoulder pain. I have also lost nearly 70 lbs and did not lose one ounce of breast tissue. With that being said, reduction it is. My surgeon does inpatient, so day one and part of day 2 will be at the hospital. My surgeon and I have discussed reducing my breast size to a full D or DD. I am so excited and nervous to begin this journey!!!

Hello, welcome, good luck with your insurance company..Cigna denied me the first time but my ps appealed it and a few weeks later I was approved so if you get denied first time round don't panic just appeal it..don't give up :-)

Congratulations on taking the first step! I had my br done 4 months ago and it was the best decision I've made for myself. No regrets! Good luck!

I am 10 days post op. today is the first day that I truly feel fantastic!!! This is including the battle of the constipation!! Whoa! That was rough. Thank God for Miralax! Anyways, I am adding some new pics. I have now taken any special vitamins for bruising or healing. Just went all natural. I feel I am healing great!!! Take a look and let me know your thoughts.

ur pics look great!!! we all hate that 3rd boob! i didnt know u could have them remove it! was it extra???
March 21, 2013
I am sure I will see an extra bill for it. Nothing is ever free!!! We talked about it and it wasn't approved by insurance before surgery, but my surgeon was going to try to send it through. If not, I said I would pay for it. I hated the"3rd boob"!

I had extra breast tissue in my right armpit that I referred to as my 3rd boob. ;) It is now gone!!!

Tomorrow is 2 weeks post op and I get to go back to work. I am excited and sad all at the same time. I will be exhausted by the end of work so I am posting 2 week pics tonight. I think I am healing nicely. I can't wait to get this itchy tape off on Friday. Not sure what the next step is after the tape, so we will see!!! I also did some close ups of the under incisions so you could see where the one incision is draining a little. It's almost done now!

You're looking great and they definitely look even in size now - the swelling has gone down quite quickly so that's great. Hope you're able to take it slowly at work and rest lots when you get home!
