Like most of you here I have always had big breast...

WORTH IT

Like most of you here I have always had big breast. After my last son my breast went to 38ddd and even if I lost some of that pregnancy weight, my breast refused to go down. I have been considering the surgery for a while now but everyone kept telling me that my insurance would never approve me cause I am 5Ft 11 and those mellons suits me perfect.

About a month ago I decided (since it was free) that I should just go to the plastic surgeon just to get his opinion. He took measurements and pictures, was very brief and before I knew it I was out of his office feeling more confused about the visit. His receptionist later called me and told me that I needed a mammogram. I did that the following day, waited for the results and faxed it over to them. One week later which makes it 11/15/2011, I got a call saying that I was approved. WOW! My head was spinning. I was excited and scared at the same time. This is real. Its going to happen. She told me to come in for my pre- testing on 11/23/2011 and my surgery is on the 11/30/2011. NO time to breathe and let this sink in. (sigh) BUT- NO MORE back pain, Rashes and shoulder indents and pain. I do hope I am lucky and get great results.

I am loving realself for giving me the opportunity to read some amazing stories and actually giving me the strength and courage to have the surgery done. Cause it is only after being on this sight that I actually felt this is possible......

Hello Loubelle and congratulations on your approval for surgery, If you don't mind me asking who do you have your insurance with and did you have to take something from your PCP to the plastic surgeon as well?

I hope I will be ok. Im a very dramatic person(lol) I worry about everything. This is happening too fast. I am hoping that I made the right decision. The doctor is kind of quiet and shy but everyone I have asked about him says he is very good. I am keeping my fingers and toes cross that it all works out.

Deep breath:)   You know deep down inside you are doing the right thing.  You went for the consult so that screams volumes.  The thought of any surgical procedure will put you in a tail spin but this will be ok.  

You can do it:)

It's almost nice that you don't have to wait too long! If you have wanted this for a while then I'm sure you have made the right dedicion. The worst part for me was waiting for the procedure!
It's a good sign that your DR had good reviews. My DR was very different from my consultation to how he was at the hospital. He was great! Just remember your intuition is very powerful and trust yourself!
