WORTH IT
I never thought of writing a review before but this website has helped me so much with pre op anxiety I figured I should contribute.

I first tried to get preappeoval for a reduction 7 years ago at age 22. The dr said they weren't large enough and didn't even attempt to submit to insurance. I wish I had gone for a second opinion!

Now in my late 20's I figured id try again. My primary care dr referred me to my ps and I had my consultation in mid dec, 2014. They said approval would only take a few weeks. Weeks went by and I didn't hear anything. Finally after 2 months I had basically lost hope and started planning a trip to Europe instead. Then out if nowhere I was approved and the date was set!

Luckily after setting the date I only had to wait a few weeks because waiting is torture! I have a phone screen pre op appointment early this week. After I'm scheduled to have 2 weeks off of work. This first night I'll spend in the hospital and then my boyfriend will be home with me for the first 3 days. Im scared and excited at the same time!! I've been focusing on eating healthy, lots of protien and I've been taking vitamin c. Hoping for a nice easy recovery! 6 more days!

You will be very happy that you did this at your age--I sure wish I did. I hope your surgery and recovery are a breeze.

Had mine Feb 18. I am already glad I did. I had other procedures at the same time, so it's hard to say how this one went.....I barely noticed the breast reduction pain compared to tummy tuck and lipo! I also spent first night in hospital and think it's not a bad idea (I am a good bit older than you though) You will be glad, just follow the instructions they give you and NEVER hesitate to ask questions if you have a concern. I always take a notebook to hosp. to write down meds, nurses and questions from you or family so you remember them when doc is in or for nurse. You will be glad you are doing this. Be patient and rest when you need to. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing. Please keep us posted and best of luck! I was wondering, why did you consider Europe? Is there cost better?

They look very small. Here in sask they don't guarentee a post op size and that makes me nervous. I've had huge boobs my whole life and although I dont want huge breasts any longer I also don't want to have a b cup. I struggle even with the idea of a c. I'd like to be a d34. My PS assured me that I wouldn't be a b cup because it would be impossible to take me that small but it looks like maybe they were able to take you that small.

Rest assured ChelseyG I wanted to be small. Infact to get small I had to tell the dr multiple times. I'm very happy with where I am. You have to trust your own dr to do what you prefer because each person is different

I figured I should take more than one pre op picture for good comparison.
I had my pre op phone screen today. A nurse from the hospital called and asked a bunch of questions. It was pretty uneventful since im healthy. She said to start washing with antibacterial soap. Also nothing besides Tylenol.
I can't wait for small boobs!! I'm only nervous they won't be small enough.
