My story is a lot like all of you here. I remember being teased at 9yr for having breasts! And the embarrassment of wearing a bra to school that first time and I felt everyone knew it! Anyway this decision from talking to my doctor to consultation and approval I received today has gone very quickly. I'm scheduled for May 6! Consultation was March 26, just a couple weeks after my referral! I'm a h cup and ask the doctor to take me to a c cup! My sweet husband is going to take time off from work to help me and is so supportive of my decision. The idea of being able to just to cook, wash dishes, garden or run and do aerobics and not have my back, arms or shoulders hurt will be so worth it. So now I've started to think about all I need to do before that day to prepare. And thanks to all of your stories you've shared it will be too much easier!

All the staff were very helpful and explained all that was being done. I really liked the way Dr. Shack measured and marked me before the procedure. Even measuring twice! Haha! I would highly recommend Dr. Shack and Vanderbilt.

Thought I'd post at least one picture before my BR! My back has really been hurting the last couple days. So looking forward to gething this done. I'm not too concerned about the surgery itself just not sure about being put under anesthesia with sleep apnea. That is one question I'll ask at pre op.

Good luck with your surgery. It was one of the best things I ever did for myself. You will feel like a new woman after you have the surgery.

Yes, I know what you mean about the nerves but I'm sure we'll do fine. Glad to know someone else has my same date for surgery!

Good luck to you! I'm just 8 days post op; had my 2nd post op visit today for drain removals! Yay! Was so glad to get rid of those. The nipple bumper pads were removed also. My PS and his assistant both said I was looking fabulous. PS was very pleased with how I'm healing. I know you will do great also. You'll be in great hands at Vandy. Keep us updated and get lots of rest!
