WORTH IT
I'm a 5"0 128 lb drug down diva! I have been considering breast reduction since probaby 16, where I felt like the girls were never gonna stop growing! I'm now 21 and have started the reduction journey. I will be having my surgery on Dec 12, 2012, only 2 months after my first appointment with the PS. Here's my story, have loved reading all of yours.

One week + 2 days away!! I am getting so anxious for the surgery, have been carefully preparing everything so that I will be able to completely relax over the weeks leading up to Christmas. This will probably be the first and last year that all of my gifts are bought and wrapped, tree is up and decorated by Dec 1st!
I have managed to hunt down compression bra's after searching intensely! FYI Ladies.. If you are searching in the Maritimes, it is difficult to order things online! Your only options (that I have found)will be at Lawtons, I call them my granny bra's as they only come in white and are .. welll.. not exactly gorgeous hehe, velcro straps and all!
I'm getting nervous and feeling like people can only listen so much to you talk about your impending pain, excitement or anxiousnss.. and wanting to scream, "I CANT WAIT TO HAVE NEW BREASTS" isn't exactly what goes well with a morning cup of coffee. Happy there are communities like this where I can safely vent my ideas, god love my hubby for being so supportive, but I think he's at the end of his ropes listening to my droning. It is such a huge part of me though, it is hard to believe within a week and a half I'll feel so different.
I don't have a pre-op appt, just going to the hosp 2 hours before my surgery, is this normal? This Dr is new to Halifax.. has anyone had work by Dr. Tavid Tang? He seems great, I just haven't found any online referrals!
Am I crazy ladies? Anyone else consumed by their upcoming surgery? The good and the bad?

i believe a Pre-opp is neccesary! that is when your blood is being taken and physical is done before surgery to let them know how your system is working along with your red and white blood cells. i go for mines in a few days, i already did my blood a few days ago, just got to go to my pre-opp and my surgery is next friday.

I also do not have a "pre-op" appointment that sounds like everyone else's, I just have a phone interview with a nurse in hospital admissions to go over my medical history. My surgeon doesn't require bloodwork since I am a healthy 21 year old, just slightly over the BMI I should be at. That's got to be why you don't need one as well.

yes, I had bloodwork done, but have not met with my doctor since my consultation. perhaps this was also due to the fact that my consultation was so close to what is now my surgery date.

I never had a pre-op. My GP did a health history and that was it!
Saw the nurse the morning of the Surgery! I think a pre-op in a healthy young person is pointless. If you have health problems for sure, otherwise not necessary.
I am excited for you to have this done! 8 days!!!
December 4, 2012
yeah so do a preop. mine did blood work and vitals but wasnt anything major. i think they just check things to make sure nothing sticks out and then ur good. if ur healthy no worries its normal they do it a bit before ur surgery. i guess if ur dont have any other issues they go ahead and dont worry with it.

They changed my instructions, and I do have a pre-op appt now. Same day and time (dec 12th!) but I actually have to go in. Because my surgery is being held at the hospital, and not the surgeons surgery center, this is why my stuff had to change.
December 6, 2012
oh perfect!! yeah seems to be a last minute thing! i will be completely gonezoed while you are at your pre op but will be thinking of you! hehe. good luck!
