6 days until my breast reduction/lift!!!

WORTH IT
I went for a consultation for breast reduction 10 years ago, when I was 23 years old. My insurance at that time did not cover the surgery. Fast forward to October of 2017, I had another consultation. I was notified in November that I was approved. My mother in law needed surgery in December, so I never scheduled a date. I have two three year olds that I would need her help with. Three weeks ago, I called and told them I was ready. My surgery was scheduled for April 20th and my insurance approved the surgery again!!! I cannot sleep. The jitters are setting in. My brain is starting to go to all of the possible complications. I have no clue what size I am. 36-38 dd/ddd. I feel the bottom of my breasts fill those bras and then it gaps at the top. I’ll post pictures later. It is going to be a long week!!!

4 days to go!!

Well, I have four days to go and I can’t sleep!!! My nerves are going crazy and I’m not exactly sure the reason. I think the surgery itself is nerve wracking but also the fact that I’m changing my body. It’s a good change but still a change lol for some reason, I am finding myself watching botched and reading bad reviews with infections and stuff. What in the heck is wrong with me?!?!

I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep this week lol I am getting so excited. The nerves aren’t as bad today. I just want to get it over with and see perky boobies!!! I’m feeling much better too after reading so many other ladies experiences, about not having much pain. That makes me hopeful. One of my best friends had pretty bad pain for over a week. My doctor is going to use some numbing agent into the breast. Does anyone have experience with that?

I think I did read someone’s review who said something about that- if it keeps you pain free for awhile it sounds lovely!
