Here’s my journey! 42DDD goin to a B+ cup

WORTH IT
I’ve always been known for my boobs. I went from flat chested to a C cup over night.
They make me super self-conscious. After I had my daughter and breast fed for 20 months my boobs changed. They became so much more bigger and when my milk dried up they deflated. I am now left with these flat, long, saggy boobs. I started taking with doctor about my back pain because when I would sit in the car after being on my feet for 9+ hours my back would be so tight it hurt to breath. I felt like I was suffocating, which sometimes lead into a panic attack. My doctor suggested a breast reduction and referred me to both plastic surgery and physical therapy. This all happened this past June. I did physical therapy for 3 months, and showed little to no improvement. When back to see plastic surgery. They said they had everything to submit to the insurance, they also told me my insurance is the hardest to get approved. That same day I was approved...I still can’t wrap my head around it. My anxiety is on high alert eighths situation since I was expecting to get denied. My surgery is scheduled for 12/27! It’s coming up and I’m so nervous! I’ve had my Pre Op which was uneventful. I’m nervous because the plastic surgeon won’t let me see any picture of his work, I’ve asked 3 times both him and his LPN. Both said no due to patient confidentiality purposes. I was extremely on the fence about doing the surgery due to this until at my pre op the medical assistant shared with me that she has a reduction with the same doc and she gets to see all of the people waking in the before and after pictures. She raves about him and made me feel more comfortable.

Day of treatment
Morning of surgery...
Chandler1115December 27, 2018
It’s the morning of surgery....I’m so filled with emotions! Over the past 2 weeks I’ve developed this fear of not waking back up. I have a 2 year old and she’s my whole world and the thought of me possibly not waking up because of a surgery that isn’t treating a life or death condition scares the crap out of me. Everyone in my family has tried calming me down but I just can’t help think of my little girl. I know it is just my head playing tricks, I’ve had other surgeries and they all went smooth. So all and all wish me some luck! Fingers crossed they won’t wait too long to give me some loopy meds so I can calm down. Ill update as soon as I’m feeling up to it! And thank you for following my journey!
