My breast grew practically overnight when I was 12. I squeezed into a 36B for 2 years and finally got measured and bought a 38DD at 14. Had kids at age 21 and 23 and engorged both time to a 44h by delivery. I went back down to 220lbs and a 42DD/F after my son was born in 2007. I went for a consult and was denied insurance coverage in 2011. The past 3 years my migraines are more frequent and back pain worse. Every time I lost weight my boob size never changed. I went for a 2nd consult at same PS on 7/28/14 and was approved this time due to progression of back issues, shoulder grooves and headaches. My surgery was on 8/19/14. My posture and back pain has already improved and I've not had a migraine. Despite a bit of soreness I feel better than I have in years. My nipples are hypersensitive...I hope this symptom stays ;-)

Glad you have a good result so far. Are you back to driving, activity yet? I have seen 3-5 days or a week after BR no driving recommended, maybe depends on the doctor.

I drove to store on 8/23, 4 days post op and went to mall with daughter on Sunday. Was exhausted after but so worth it. I returned to work on Tuesday (7 days post op); I have sedentary job and am exhausted by lunch so I grab a quick bite and lay my seat back in my car for as long as I can during my hour lunch.

Thanks. I have time off work, but still need to drive my daughter to dance class 4 days after, it is not too far. I will see how I feel by then, cause hubby is getting 3 days off work, but will need to go back on 4th day. One week left to get myself organized. Hope you get enough rest and don't overdo it.
