I am currently in the investigative phase. I spend most of my free time reviewing these reviews. Call me crazy, but I say I am being cautious. The more read other members post, the more inquisitive I am. Some reviews have me ready to face the war, while others have me wanting to hide in a corner. Letnthe journey begin!

sorry I hit sent before finishing... trust me I am at 2 months postop and I was on that forum like 2 months before choosing my surgeon :) As I said to other I did meet 3 surgeons in my region and what a coincidence I choose the first one ... and one of my "friend" in my location had hers done by him lol!!! of course we are not here as medical advice we dont replace a dr but like other said I was soooo pleased to have all these ladies that I dont even know to be "there with me" I even have a sister date (that had the reduction did the same day than me)... I was thinking for a reduction for a while but wanted to wait after I was done with kids.. so one day I went buying bras and OMG I was in shock and decided ok this is time ... that was it I was done with these.. all my friends and my family in Montreal (I am in Athens Georgia) supported me in my decision because they knew I was thinking about it for a while .. but the main thing my hubby did support me all the time.. I wanted to call back the surgeon more than once to say I dont want to do it but I remembered every time the good things the good reviews .. not the bad :)

I did the same thing and learned so much from all the others out there. Of course getting the medical explanations are very helpful and crucial to get the ball rolling I figured I could always change my mind. But reading all the thoughts and seeing the pictures from the brave gals that have traveled the path before me went a long way in helping me make my final decision. My doctor was great at answering my questions and explaining the procedure, but These ladies have been there, or were headed there and answered questions I didn't even think to ask. As well as giving me the courage and confidence to follow through where I may have just chickened out and continued to suffer with it as I have been. I just had my surgery on 3/3/14 so it's only been a few days, but I am feeling pretty good. Sore of course but so glad To have my RealSelf comrades pictures and stories to get me through. Big Breasted Birds of a feather flock together. LOL Good Luck with your research. Let us know how you make out.

Good Luck on your journey. I hope you find the right path for you. My Doctor is about an hour drive but i had no problem with the ride home because of still being a little groggy and the local anesthetics don't wear off for quite a while. I am happy to share my experience with others in hopes that it helps them in some way as Maw1, ColaradoLady, and many others have helped me. Best Wishes with whatever you decide.

Consultation Set

RSMember4434
So, I investigated a few doctors in the Austin area. I live in a rural community, about 60 miles from the nearest plastic surgeon. This also plays a role in my decision because I really don't want the inconvenience of traveling or having to spend the night. Ugh. But, as of now my consult is set for the 11th of March. Hope it goes well.

As scary as it it, it will be the best decision ever! I felt the pain in my neck and shoulders go away instantly. A load was truely lifted off of me! It feels so good to know that I do not have to dread going bra shopping looking through many racks praying that they have a ugly 36DDD bra! I am 2 weeks post op and I still have a ways to go to heal, but im doing great. Go ahead and get yhe ball rolling by soing your research. That hour drive to the PS will be soooo worth it! ;)

I'm really glad I met with more than one surgeon. I hope you find one that is attentive and answers all your questions. Reading reviews and viewing photos on here really helped me prepare for my operation. Good luck to you!

Consulation Today!

RSMember4434
So, I am getting ready to head to the dr. that I have chosen for my surgery. I am not sure, but I am a bit nervous about the consultation. Maybe it is wondering if he will tell me what I hope to hear, or do I really hope to hear what he says? I mean, that means we will move forward on something I am not sure about in the first place. I don't know, but as soon as I get back, I will let you all know how it went! Wish me luck!!!
