Funny how everything happens for a reason, hey?!
I was really disappointed about not being able to get my reduction when I was back home in the UK a few months ago, but I figured there is a reason for it - I think I`ve just discovered what it might be!
Since I`ve been back home in Japan I have been chatting with a few friends about it, and one told me she knows of an American lady here who neededa breast reduction, and because there was an absence of skilled surgeons available to perform the surgery here, she went back to the US to have it done, BUT her Japanese health insurance paid for part of it!
I had no idea that would even be a possibility for me! So now I am looking into that for next time I return home.
Just a little update and also to show everyone that although I am not posting much I am still lurking!

Still thinking about it, kirakira? I'm about a week and a half post-op now... no small thanks to your wonderful encouragement- thank you so much. I can say it is COMPLETELY worth it. You and are are similar in that we're some of the smaller girls on here, but I really get it- it's about how you feel in your own skin... and mine feels like it's on right for the first time in years. If you decide to do it, let us know! I've been thinking about you since I left the hospital. Hope you're well.

Hi kirakira, just wanted to offer my support (hee!), after reading your post on bigtittiebiddy's review. We are in a similar boat, I am petite and a 30E which is relatively small compared to most, but I've wanted reduction surgery since I was a teenager. I finally plucked up courage and am booked in for the end of January. Now the decision is made I am so happy. I'm hoping for a B cup. If they effect your quality of life (and that doesn't have to be physically, it can simply be mentally) then don't be afraid. I've had so many comments over the years from women who think it must be wonderful to be "skinny with big [RS bleep]" and for some women perhaps that's true; but it's definitely not true for me, I think it's torturous. So don't let go of what's true for you and let us know if you decide to go ahead! Sending you all the best.

Bad news I'm afraid :(
I had an email from the surgeon today, who was VERY apologetic, but said he just can't get the operating theatre time at this short notice. He has tried in two different hospitals, but it was just not possible. I thought it would be ok as I had my nose corrected in one of the hospitals, and it was literally 1 week from pre-op consult to surgery day, so I was under the impression it would be the same for the boob department too - but obviously not.
This doesn't mean it is not happening, it just means it is not happening this year. I am sure there is a reason for it, and I just have to accept that this is fate and I can't fight it, just have to go with it, and eventually the reason will become clear. Who knows - maybe they will open up a breast reduction centre down the road from me in Japan, or perhaps I will wake up next week with miraculous shrunken boobs! Maybe they are about to announce a miracle boob-shrinking herb or something?! In my experience to date these things happen for a reason.
On the bright side I can now have that medium-large glass of wine I have been holding off on while I wait to see if I am going into surgery or not! Every cloud has a chablis lining!
BIG thank you to everyone on this site who has helped advised and supported over the last few weeks! I am not leaving, just going back to lurking until I know what will be happening. There is a possibility I could be coming home for a year or so next year, so maybe it will happen then!
Good luck to everyone who is about to do it, doin' it now, or recovering from it! I will be following your storoes and taking courage from all of you! See y'all around! [RS bleep]

I'm so sorry to hear that, Kira, but I totally think you have the right attitude. Don't be a stranger around here! And good luck as you continue to weigh your options!

How disappointing Kira! I'm sorry things didn't work out this time.
You should check out LondonLou's profile. She had a BR done in Phuket and her results are fabulous! Recovering at a gorgeous resort while on holiday with the family sounds lovely, doesn't it? Just something to think about ;)

To be honest with you - YES! I have to admit since I heard I have been lurking around some of the Thailand surgery sites. It does look wonderful....! Definitely worth thinking about!

OK, well it is now Monday at 11am and I have heard NOTHING since Friday. What time should I go in? What time is my surgery scheduled for? From when should I stop eating? What should I take in with me? No idea at all. Looks like - yet again - this is not happening. Mentally I am not sure how much longer I can keep this up.
That is wonderful news, Kira! Glad to hear that you haven't hit a dead end! Keep us posted on how this all works out!
