after many years of consideration , I have finally decided to do this....my neck , back and shoulders just can't take it anymore...it's been fun, but now at 48 I'm thinking more of comfort. I really don't know what the big deal of big puppies is all about....they are always in my way, how I long to paint my toe nails again! Kind of nervous...that's how I found this site. Ive already seen PS, insurance requesting mammogram which was done 4 days ago.

I had the same words when I went to my doc. Doc, I can't do this anymore. The daily pain, strain and pulling is no longer bearable. We are close in age. I am 44. I've been carrying around my weight for 33 years and it's finally taken a toll on my quality of life. It's been a week since my surgery and let me tell you, it's instant relief. My doc and I had worked out a plan which included physical therapy after healing and now I'm not so sure I will need it. I do have to work on my posture now though. I'm so used to slouching I just don't think about it.

Just had reduction and lift with Dr. Gumucio on 12/17. He did an excellent job. Not a lot of pain just minor discomfort. Good luck to you and you will feel so much better afterwards. My back and neck pain are gone now :))

Still waiting on an approval from my insurance...getting so frustrated.....dr gummicio came highly recommended to me,, I just hope they can get my approval...

That's wonderful!! It's been almost 3 months and I am so happy with my smaller girls. Finally bought a regular bra and I feel so much better now. Back and neck pain gone and a lot more confidence. It was also an image adjustment so I used it as motivation to lose weight :) keep us posted. Congrats again on the approval.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. That's what I need right now. I've wanted it so bad for so long but for some reason when I read the approval letter I felt like I was going to throw up... Lol... Same way I felt when I read the denial letters! I just can't seem to find anyone that regrets doing it. I'm so scared of the pain and the healing process. Not sure what to expect, how much work ill have to miss... How bad the pain will be.... I guess if I can survive a hysterectomy... This should be a piece of cake

I understand. I know everyone is different, but I had very little pain. I did have some discomfort yes but nothing that Tylenol couldn't take care of after 2 or 3 days. I didn't take much of the pain medicine at all. Not sure what type of work you do. I am a nurse on a very heavy floor so I took 12 weeks to make sure I was fully recovered and ready for a lot of heavy lifting. Dr. G will work with you on that too. I still have some discomfort every now and then but nothing I can't stand. And some have told me they lost feeling in their nipples but mine are on overdrive. Lol the biggest shock for me was the image adjustment. Once I got over that it has been up hill since. I hope to get around to posting new pics in the next few days.

Hopefully you hear something soon. Depending on type of insurance you have it shouldn't take too long. I wish you the best and look forward to reading your experience :)
