WORTH IT
Hi everyone! I had my consultation with PS on 6/22/12, got insurance approval in about 8 days (luckily as that is not the norm) and surgery scheduled for 8/20/12. Just over 2 weeks to go!
I've been considering BR surgery for a few years now. I've lost close to 70 pounds in the last year and a half and lost *maybe* one cup size. I measure to fit in a 36DDD but wear all kinds of sizes based on bra brand. I hate them all! I love this website!

2 weeks to go from today!!! I hurt my knee early on Saturday morning and have been taking a high power anti-inflammatory drug (Mobic) for 2 days and feeling fine ... calling PS office this moring to see if I can continue to take it for another day or two or if they are going to make me stop. 2 freaking weeks - I can't believe it!!!!!

Welcome, Garden! Nice to have another Iowan in the family :-D Who is doing your procedure? Wishing you all of the best and can't wait to hear all about your journey! Stick close the next few weeks, these girls are great encouragers!

Congratulations on the weight loss - 70lbs is quite fantastic and in two weeks you will have lovely breasts that totally match the new you!! I look forward to reading about your surgery and recovery.

Iowa71 - I'm going thru Iowa Clinic (Lekkas). Are you from DSM?
Deka21 - thanks! Even with the 70 pounds I still have about 25-30 to go and had hoped to have that gone before surgery but it's not going to happen. I was beating myself up about it, but realized that I now know HOW to lose weight the right way (for me) so after surgery and I am all healed, it's back to the grindstone!

Well here I am 1-week prior to surgery and FREAKING OUT! My nerves are terrible lately unless I can keep myself occupied and mind off of things. Easier said than done! I am a list-maker so I have a cleaning list, grocery list, and other general to-do list to do this week and upcoming weekend. I've had my surgery date since mid-July and the time has really flown by. I know this last week is going to fly by as well. I almost threw out one of my bras last night because one of the hooks is broken, but decided instead, that I would save it and add it to my Bra Burning Pile post-op! Can't wait to use that firepit in the back yard!!! LOL!

Hey, Garden. Sorry I didn't see your last reply earlier...don't know how I missed it. I had my surgery in Des Moines but actually live closer to Iowa City. Dr. Cherny did my surgery. This week will go so fast and before you know it you will be part of the post-op club! You've got the right idea about staying busy. I was driving everyone I knew nuts because I could talk of nothing else. That is why I was so glad to have found this site, because there were other people who were as pre-occupied with boobs as I was! Good luck and keep us updated!

Deep breath here..all will be fine. These pre jitters are all a part of the process.

This site must be God-Sent :) When I saw that Dr. Lekkas is doing your surgery I just had to comment! I have thought about getting a BR for a quite awhile (I am 25 now but was an early bloomer.. I literally had bigger boobs then both of my female teachers by 7th grade haha) and thought of I would wait until I had children to look into it more but last month, my OBGYN gave me the push I needed with the list of potential health problems that I could run into if I delay (and the fact of if I do it while I'm young, my body will bounce back quicker).. with that said, I have a have an appointment with Dr. Lekkas next Friday (Aug. 24th).. My doctor said that he tends to make a lot of referals to Dr. Lekkas because "he's a prefectionist and will make sure you are pleased with his work".. I'll pray for a speedy recovery for you and can't wait to hear of your results! :)

ImMizzAO - what a small world! I think it's super cool that we have the same surgeon! I was a bit nervous for my consult, you know, bare and share it all with a strange man but he was nothing but professional and explained everything. Never know ... maybe we'll bump into each other sometime and not even know it at follow up appointments! LOL! Do you go upstairs to the OBGYN's at the same office?
August 14, 2012
Small world indeed! You hit the nail on the head with the nervousness of having to "bare and share".. matter of fact this will be the first time in about 10 years my mom's gone to any doctor's appt with me (she's one of the main ppl that have encourged me to go as she --although not having the issue herself-- has seen the limitations being well endowed has restricted me to over the years and will be the main one helping me post-op).. The possibility of us running into each other is greater then most would think so we will see lol!! And my OB Dr. moved out toward Merle Hay but I am familiar with the area in WDSM :)
