When I went to the surgeon to be measured for the insurance paperwork I had to explain that 38M isn't 38 medium but an actual bra size, and they do a lot of reductions! I don't think our size is that unusual. I think a lot of ladies are wearing too small of a cup size. When they measure even at the fancy stores they only measure the difference between your band size and hour widest point. They don't measure how long the breast is and for those of us who are bigger that makes a huge difference. Good luck with the insurance and everything! Mine were done 2 weeks ago and I feel a lot better.

Good luck to you! I hope all goes well. It is such a pain for those of us who have to drag around these huge breasts. I really wish you all the best with your surgery.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you find the new life you seek - I'm sure you will!

This surgery was life changing for me (I had chronic pain and injuries since my 20s). Your surgery date will be the 1 year anniversary of my surgery (8/4/15)! Best decision I ever made, I love having average sized breasts! I wish you well on your surgery!
