I had an abnormal EKG as well that I had done for another out patient procedure. It showed an abnormality. Such as an old heart attack. Needless to say it completely freaked me out. However, I met with two different cardiologist bc I do have heart disease in my family. I went thru the whole work up and I didnt have any issues. What both told me is that sometimes in women with large breasts ( like us!) or male bodybuilders- they have abnormal EKG's bc of the extra tissue! I wish my primary dr would have told me that! I know its easy for me to say but try not to worry. If need be ask your Dr for something if you are really upset. Thoughts and prayers :)

You'll do fine :) im sensitive to pain and i was more bothered by how tired i kept getting from simple things like getting up to go to the bathroom. Id go the. Id come back to my couch nest and sleep for afew hours! If you've scared youself with some of the reviews and are doubting then please read mine and be reassure i was scared too but even as they wheeled me in i refuses to show it :) It is SO worth it and i honestly would go through it a million times rather than go to visit the dentist! Lol. Goodluck ^_^

Thanks for the encouragement. Just the thought of having my nipples cut, trimmed and sewed back on has me a little freaked. But I am still so excited to have the surgery. Everytime I look in my closet and realize how much easier it will be to find clothes helps. Also to feel so light without the upper back pain will be great. Am really tired of dragging these girls around with me!

Aw :( im sorey your feeling a little freaked out. Dont think too gruesomely into it. They use a special cookie cutter type thing to make sure you end up with lovely round nipples and think of your nipple as a boat, they gentle keep it placed near the dock (your breast) and it is still tied to the dock with rope (your blood vessels for healthy circulation) and when the breast is smaller or the tide is out they gently put it back where it should be :) abit of a weird analogy but i hope it soothes you. Everything is safe you will be ok :) your scared because you care for your personal health not because things are going to go wrong. X
