Have had 3 back surgeries so to help with back pain I was able to convince insurance I need the reduction. I may do a tummy tuck as well. To help my stomach muscles after having 3 kids. TBD.
Yes I'm nervous
I want to video update my procedure and Recovery as I go thru it because I think it will help others make a decision and feel more comedians knowing the truth in what to expect

I just finished reading through all your posts and looking at the pictures and videos. I have my BR scheduled for August 9. I wanted to have both that and the TT done at the same time, like you, but my doctor said he won't do that because of concerns about too much pulling of stitches form both areas. He won't do the TT for at least 3 months after the BR. I was a little disappointed, but reading through your posts made me happy that he does it that way. Pain and I do NOT get along, so if I only have to deal with one surgery at a time, I'll probably be better off. Thank you for posting so much useful information. I'm glad that things worked out so well for you.

Oh good. I'm glad that it brought you comfort for your situation!! I wanted to document all I coukd so people could makes their own decisions based on real life situations!
Have a blessed surgery date coming up! Be sure to not raise your arms up as to not tear any incisions. It's hard even if you are feeling good!
God bless

G1nger123, thank you for your kind words. I have seen a lot of comments about not raising arms for that reason. I took care of one thing a couple of days ago which will help me...I go my medium/long hair cut into a pixie so I don't have to deal with it. I LOVE it and may just keep it that way.
God bless you, too

So the insurance only paying for the TT right.

They covered the breast reduction. Not the TT. But I might try afterwards to submit it and just see what happens.
