I am 36 and have been dealing with large breast the last 10 years. I have seriously considered having the surgery for the past year. I had my first consultation in December of last year. We submitted paperwork to my insurance and was denied the first time. That was incredibly discouraging! But I went to a chiropractor, my gynochologist and general practitioner and had them all write letters of recommendation. The insurance approved it the second time, which to my relief was done in only 3 weeks. Do to scheduling with my work I had to wait to schedule surgery til June 6. I am a smoker and was advised to quit at least 3 weeks before surgery. I am down to 4-5 a day and will completely quit May 1st. I am a little over a month away from surgery and cannot wait!! I have never been in a hospital for anything, so this is going to be a whole new experience for me. I am sure the closer it gets the more the nerves will kick in. But right now cannot wait to be operated on!!! I will put before pics the closer I am to surgery. It has been so helpful reading everyone's experiences and am very greatful to have this forum to hear personal stories and not just the clinical side of things. Will keep you posted!!

My ps and his staff could not have been nicer and more helpful. I could call at anytime as many time with any questions. Every member of the staff got to know me personally and really cared. I cannot say enough good things about the staff and my results and I am only one day post op!
You must be doing pretty great if you are feeling up to shopping! Will be anxious to hear how things go at VS :-)
Congratulations, Mrs. Reed! So glad that everything went so well for you and that you are thrilled with your results! Make sure you are getting plenty of rest and lots of fluids and before you know it you will be shopping for tank tops and polka-dotted bras!
Mrs. Reed,
To post pix go to update your review. Scroll down and you will find the place to upload them. I have read that people can't do it from a phone or tablet. I have always used my laptop and have never had a problem. Good luck!
Thanks for sharing your story, Mrs. Reed. Glad you found us. What a blessing that you got insurance approval! I can honestly tell you that this procedure has made such a positive difference in my life! I quit smoking about a year and a half ago. It was certainly hard, but totally worth it. There is no way I would be running on the treadmill now if it wasn't for quitting and having this surgery. Keep us updated and don't hesitate to hollar out if you have any questions! Good luck!!
