Amazingly Warm and Comforting Experience

Helpful4975
I had a consultation with Dr. Pike today for a breast reduction. Her staff was welcoming and warm. She was extremely thorough and explained everything to me. I didn't feel rushed at all. I have already referred a friend of mine to her and I haven't experienced her work.

It's Happening...Breast Reduction Surgery Date Set

Helpful4975
I had my initial consultation with Dr. Pike on 10/24. The pre-authorization request was submitted to my insurance BCBS on 10/28. At that time I was told it would take 6-8 weeks to hear back from my insurance. On Nov 8th I looked at the status on the insurance website and it said that my procedure is approved as medically necessary!!! I literally broke down into tears. All I kept saying was thank you Jesus. I am so excited that this is really happening. I received the actual letter in the mail on Nov 12th. Surgery is scheduled for January.

I shop at Petticoat Fair specialty boutique for my bras. On average they cost $75 each.

Getting Ready for Surgery

Helpful4975
I am two days away from my surgery day and I think I'm as ready as I can be. I have picked up my medications that were prescribed (5 total). I have my pillows, extra zip front bras, button up night shirts, gauze, ice packs, wipes, & stool softeners.
I have to put this nausea patch on 24 hrs prior to surgery. I can eat up until 10pm the night before. I can drink only clear liquids up until 1hr before I report to the hospital.
I will be deep cleaning my house and stocking up with groceries tomorrow. I also need to go to the nail shop and remove my sns nail polish, I can't have anything on my nails on surgery day.
I'm excited and nervous, but just ready to have relief.

How are you doing?

It is one week post op and I feel pretty good. Drains are out and healing as I should be. The back sleeping is uncomfortable, but looking forward to a full recovery.

Great to hear! Hopefully not too much longer on the back sleeping
