Let's me start from the beginning. I started getting breasts when I was six years old. Yes I mean six as in grade one. My mom took me to the doctors to make sure there wasn't something terribly wrong with me. By the time I was in jr high I was a C and by high school I was wearing an 38E and falling out because I had no idea that there were bras that were in my size 36H. I mean woohoo that there are bras that fit but my god do they have to cost so dam much. I've been talking to my Dr about a reduction since I was 14 and decided that I would do it once I was done having children and done breastfeeding since it was something I really wanted to do and give myself the best chance to have success.0 I have extremely dense breast tissue which has caused me to have such awful posture and neck and back pain. And with that headaches. You know the whole gambit. I grew up wondering why I was the only one wearing two sports bras during gym class or playing soccer. It was because none of the other girls had to worry about getting black eye from their boon hitting them in the face when they run or jump. I saw the surgeon in June of this year and could of had my surgery this Auguest 20th but I need time to save for the amount that's not covered by healthcare so my date is set for August 18, 2016. I want to go down to a C or D. My goal is to get them to a size that take away the pain. My husband is a little sad that I won't be asking him to hold them when my shoulders are sore and I just can't stand it anymore but he's looking forward to me not being in pain.

I'm so sorry you have to wait so long, I hope time flys for you! I developed in 5th grade, how terrible to hear you developed at 6! That's insane! Poor little kid you! I remember being teased in 5th grade it was so embarrassing and having to become a Tom boy wearing big shirts to hide myself inside of. Here's to a pain And embarrassment free future!

Thanks I'm feeling a little emotional since tomorrow is the day I would be getting them done if we had the money. And that if there wasn't such a huge downturn in the oil industry we would of been in a place to pay for it. I was teased quite a bit a lot of people saying I was stuffing and unfortunately a lot of attention from older boys which made me uncomfortable. Thanks for the support

I have a consult on sept 3 at Banff Plastic Surgery and I'm hoping to go through insurance too. But I haven't been able to find a lot of information regarding what amount is covered by AB health. Can you let me know what they told you? (I'm assuming you went through them...)
Thanks a bunch!!

They told me the reduction is covered if he think you are. So that's determined at the consult. The lift and lipo aren't covered which he told me I would need to get me down to a c/d (fingers crossed C) and they said they would do the surgery without the lift and lipo. So it's going to be $3990 out of pocket. Hope this helps and good luck with your consult!
