WORTH IT

Hello. I don't even know where to start!! In middle school I left seventh grade with really a flat chest! Then summer was over and guess who showed up, The Sisters!! I was overwhelmed with it all! The smallest I can ever remember being is a D cup or bigger! I was small but with my boobs I always felt large! Wore big baggy shirts to hide myself! After I graduated I kept getting bigger and bigger! No weight gain at first so I never understood! Fast forward 22 years-I have four children that I breast feed all them. They are sagging way to low, I have huge intentions in my shoulders, my neck hurts which brings on the migraines, my back across my shoulder blades hurts, my arms and hands fall asleep and my strength in my hands is not good! I have been to many doctors, therapist, chiropractors, and none of them have ever said its The Sisters fault!! That is until two months ago!! We moved to Texas last summer so all new doctors! A couple months ago I went in because my chest was hurting so bad! The doctor started pushing all over my shoulders and back and told me it was my muscles in my chest that were being pulled by The Sisters!! I was well I want them gone!! So he sent me to the PS. I was shocked but excited!!

So. I went to PS on Monday April 16. He took pictures listened to my whys and said ok we will write up a report get my other doctor info and submit to insurance! I waliked out thinking ok I tried. Insurance won't ok it. He said 2 to 6 weeks we will know something! My daughter told me that He didn't talk or say much and I said well there's not much to talk about if insurance don't ok it. Everything was sent in on Thursday April19. Mean while I was getting ready for a hysterectomy and I honestly thought it would be turned down! Well Thursday April 26th I had my approval letter in the mail!!! Yes APPROVAL!! I called PS to make sure and they said yes it's approved at full bennifits!!!! The next day i got the call to set the date!! So Tuesday June 5th is the big day!!! I have spent years of laughing at the jokes, making the jokes just so I won't cry!! I am a 40k and can't buy shirts or swim suites or even dresses that fit right because of the Sisters!! I am so ready for this! I am still recovering from my hysterectomy and when I go in for BR I will be four weeks out from it! But I am ready I have a great support system and that are all as excited as I am. I am ready to feel human!! It's exciting to think I will soon be perky and not saggy!! I don't ever remember being perky! LOL if you have any tips please let me know them becausevI don't see the PS till day before surgery to discuss everything. Through my other surgery I asked everyone at the hospital about PS and they all love him and have nothing but good to say!! So here I go!!! I will post pics as soon as I can.....

You are not bothering anyone by calling them! That is part of the service they provide. They should have a triage nurse that is happy to answer any of your questions and if you feel you need an appointment before your pre-op you should be able to request one of those as well. Good luck!
