I am just starting my breast reduction journey!...
I am just starting my breast reduction journey!
I have been large breasted from the beginning, I started to develop my boobs in 3rd grade. Mentally I felt like a freak because my body didn't look like everyone else's (boobs plus freakishly tall ha). I have wanted a breast reduction since I first learned what one was, maybe when I was 12.
In middle school and high school I was harassed daily about my boobs, called "B.B." for "Big Boobs", stared at and laughed at during gym class. The constant attention has made me hate my breasts. I'd love to wear a tank top without worrying that I am grossing people out or making kids moms scowl at me.
I have had pretty severe back, shoulder, and neck pain since middle school, migraines since then too. I have constant dips in my shoulders from bras. Working out is uncomfortable, I have to hold my boobs sometimes! Falling asleep is difficult and I always wake up with numb and tingly hands and forearms. But I always thought that dr.s would tell me no, you don't need this, or that insurance wouldn't pay for it.
I have had an odd indent on the bottom of my left breast for a while and I decided I should go to the gyno and have a breast exam. While i was there she told me "You are definitely a good candidate for a breast reduction! I would even say that you NEED a breast reduction!"
This was just such a shock because I never thought it would be a possibility for me. But after many years of pain and discomfort and hate of my breasts I am pursuing surgery!
I have scheduled a consult with Dr. John Edney of Omaha on June 5th and I am beyond excited and extremely hopeful that my insurance will cover this. (I am not well-off and before I had insurance I never went to the Dr. for my pain for fear of not being able to afford it.)
