Hello my name is shantell and I'm 28yrs old, 5"5 152lbs. I have a husband and two beautiful daughters who are the light of my life. Recently while attempting to lift my smallest treasure I had a sudden painful muscle spasm. After that my back pain became unbearable, so I went to the doctor and she told me to get a breast reduction.

Let me give you a little background info. I began growing breast at the age of 9, by ten I was a 30B cup, 12 a 32C cup, 14 a 32D cup. I spent all of high school trying to be invisible to no avail. After HS I met a guy and had a little girl and with that bundle of joy came a new set of 34DDD cup breast. My back couldn't take the weight and my back pain began. After pregnancy my weight fell off but the boobs stayed.

I've delt with headaches, neck and shoulder pain and everything else that comes with large breast and now im done. I hade my first consultation today and the doctor was wonderful. She was very understanding and told me what to expect realistically out of this procedure. It would be great if I could be a B or a C cup but honestly anythings better than what I am now which is a 32H. Im going the insurance route so I'm not sure how long it will take to get this procedure but I hope it's soon. My doctor has started the process and said it takes a couple of weeks so we will see. I want to schedule my surgery for April 5, so I'm hoping insurance doesn't take too long.

I was approved today!!! My breast reduction is well on its way. I'm waiting on the plastic surgeon to call and schedule a date but I know I'll have it on April 25 if not sooner, I have to check out my deductible to see if it can be sooner. I can't wait but it's so many things to do. I have a few more pounds to lose (I'm 150 now.) I want to be 135 when I go in and hopefully I'll come out if this with perky B/C cups. I never thought I would be writing this update but prayer really does work. Blessing to those who are waiting on approval, those who are in surgery and those who are healing.

Did the Dr recommend you lose the weight to get it approved or its just something you want to do? I am also 5'5" 150lbs and a 32H. I just scheduled my consultation and am curious if they will want me to lose any weight? I dont feel like I need to
