I went to see Dr. Dash today and was very pleased. She took time to explain the anchor procedure, how much time would be needed for the surgery, itself 3 hours, and how she doesnt use drains, and why she doesn't. She took measurements and photos. She remarked I have very heavy breast(I know, they *^#!* ) and that they are not very fatty but full breast tissue. I have a very hard time finding bras, cant find one that fits perfectly. At my size, its difficult. I have been going to a Chiro with no help and my reg physician actually recommended me a reduction after I had been constantly complaining of headaches. She is ALL for this! My doc is collecting her and my chiro recommendation, along with med records and such and sending it off on Friday. I need prayers that Aetna accepts. I am so sick of the pain in my shoulders and neck, headaches, migraines and inability to find a bra. I am exhausted to the core. She said she would likely to get 600 in left breast and 550 in the right. We have 6 weeks for Aetna to respond and we will go from there. She was incredibly friendly, professional and didnt feel rushed. Her staff is warm and inviting and makes you feel very comfortable. I am 36 5'5.5 and 157 lbs. I am going to try and lose 7 lbs in the next 6 weeks which would take me from a 25.3 bmi(just overweight) to normal weight. I am down from 161 my highest due to hysterectomy/post menopausal. I just want to feel comfortable and not hunch over in pain all the time.

Talked to my surgeons office today and was updated that they sent off my packet to my insurance and currently in clinical review. Not sure who does this or anything, but thats where Im at and praying for a reduction. These massive things are causing daily back of hea, upper neck and shoulder pain.

Praying for approval! I remember feeling very worried at this point, as self pay would be a true hardship. I'm your size, and was approved in two weeks by Capitol Blue Cross. I did have years of chiro and past history of therapy, but added three months of new phys therapy before the visit to the PS. Good luck!

Was the first pic laying down? Or sitting up?
January 9, 2017
The one where I Have blue shorts on? That is laying down and arms pushing boobs together.. The 4th pic, when you look at all my photos, total, is the one laying down. They fall to the side.
January 9, 2017
Oh ok now I see, I was just curious because they looked really perky to be laying down haha. but I see your arms pushing together as you said and I see the 4th pic where they just fall completely to the side.
January 9, 2017
Haha yes I'm pretty sure it will be a big difference! What size where they?
January 9, 2017
They were 34H and now, when I last measured a 34 large C, may end up a small C or B, which I would be 100% fine with lol
January 9, 2017
Haha well congratulations I'm happy for you! I'll be sure to look at your updated laying down pic whenever you post! I bet they won't fall to the side now huh? :)

Just took a look, they are healing really great! Nipples still pointing in opposite directions like before though haha
January 9, 2017
Well that is because one has lost all fluid and the other one, pointing weird is hard and has a lot of fluid. When i stand up or sit up, they are perfectly aligned. Once the hard one settles more, I know it will be even finally.
January 9, 2017
Oh that makes a lot of since, because even in the pics before they reduction your nipples are even at least In my opinion, breasts were really saggy though.
January 9, 2017
They were so heavy and large they drooped. Not saggy per say, but so heavy they dropped, but full, for sure, even docs said that.
January 9, 2017
Yea your right, sorry for looping the two together because they are actually two different things, I would agree that yours were so full and heavy they just dropped which made them look a little saggy. Did you have bad shoulder indentations?
