• Posted to 100% Ready to get a breast reduction. How do I get everything started? on 28 May 2012

  Ty, having a breast reduction was one of the best things I did for myself in 2011, my tummy tuck was the other. Start with researching surgeons in your local area, get in for some free consultations, plan your recovery/aftercare -we are beginning to get lots of options in our area. Then step back and ask yourself if all of this is right for you. If it is, go for it.

• Posted to Has anyone had Department of Public Welfare Medical Assistance and had a breast reduction approved? on 28 May 2012

  Hello JtotheLo, when I had my procedure done last summer I paid cash so I don't fully understand the insurance process for reductions. I would think that the best course of action is to call the number on the back of your insurance card. If you have a documented medical issue then why not ask the insurance company if a reduction is an option.
  Good luck!

• Posted to Compression Garments!? on 14 Sep 2011

  Initially I tried to cheap it out and wear my Spanx but they roll down and I hated having to put up and down my legs. I have the ones that go from below breast to above knee. I had lots of swelling that 2nd week. Then I found a review for Squeem by this lady who just had twins. I ordered with the quicks from Amazon and when I got it, I realized I should have got a large. I squeezed it on anyway. The first few days it was like tortured and then my swelling went down and I was able to walk upright. I showed my plastic surgeon today it he was fine with it. I told my fiancé that I don't swell anymore -hope it's permanent

  Soccermama good luck to you! I got a lump in my throat when I saw your post because I am an TT and BR. I'm way too high strung and so I could not possibly have a countdown going but whatever works.I'll keep watching you and can't wait to hear what you are doing to prepare. Thanks

• Posted to what's everyone using for scar therapy??? on 8 Jul 2011

  I received Mederma and Bio Oil samples at a GYN conference a few months back. My co-worker pushed me to get them and I am so glad I did. I actually have 2 full bottles of each and hopefully that will be enough. If my surgeon recommends something in particular I might try it otherwise I'm sticking with what I have.
  
  Thanks
