Scheduled the surgery. Anxious, excited, scared. My main concern is the recovery period. I have 2 active young kids who are very sensitive when they notice others are hurt or ill. Considering spending the first 3-4 days at my parent’s house, so they don’t have to see me & be worried.

3rd consultation

Went in for my 3rd consultation & really liked the doctor. Not keen on her reception staff, but that can be overlooked. Excited about the possibility of having surgery this summer, but nervous about spending so much money on myself.

$$$$

Anyone else having or had trouble convincing their significant other that the surgery was worth the cost? My husband is very against it, as I'd be taking money from my IRA to pay for it. It's a lot of money - no doubt - but I feel that it would be worth it in the end. I imagine opening my closet and not having to worry about hiding this saggy skin with spanx....such a wonderful thing to look forward to.

Which country are you living in? Australia breast reduction and abdominal reconstruction after childbirth is free

I just saw this comment! I’m in the US & it is definitely not covered, except in extreme cases.

You may be able to have the breast reduction covered. I'm in the US and it was all covered by insurance I didn't pay a thing. The TT i had to pay for and it was worth every penny.
