$5,000
I finally got approved from my insurance! The wait is over! I'm 25 years old and currently a 38DD and want to go down to a full C. I've always had a big chest and having this dream come true the feeling is indescribable!
My surgeon made me feel so comfortable and I can say I trust her with this big step! We went over everything on my visit! I've been calling her office non stop and just her staff alone is amazing! Let the count down begin!

Nervous
As time is flying by and I'm only two weeks away from surgery I can't seem to shake this feeling! My biggest fear is I won't be able to go back to work on time! I'm a bus driver and as of now am laid off for the summer but my first day back is sept 3 and my surgery is the 27! Although it's not an office job I am sitting and obviously driving! Anyone on here that had this procedure can give me some advice in how long their recovery was and when you were able to get a clearance to drive! ?My surgeon said I should be ok but others take 2 weeks !!!

I was able to drive after I stopped taking the prescribed pain and nausea meds which was 2 days post op. The only hard part about it was the seat belt but as long as I didn't stop abruptly it was fine. I hope it works out good for you!

I'm having surgery this Friday with Dr. Rhee!

You are?!! I feel like I'm going to have no worries with her? How do you feel about her?
August 19, 2014
I really liked her a lot. She was very friendly and honest. She listened to what my concerns were, and took it from there.

I had my surgery on a Thursday and I felt great to drive 4 days later on the following Monday. Don't stress, it will all work out and stressing doesn't change a thing! :)
Only 11 more days! Keep us posted! I'll be thinking of you on the 27th and sending good vibes your way!

Thank you so much! I know stress doesn't change it but I was in shock the day after I schedule my surgery and found out I go back to work a week after ! I had my son c section and was fine four days later! I'm a quick healer so I'm praying i have the same luck with this procedure! I'm glad to hear you had a what sounds speedy recovery! :) I will deff keep everyone updated!

Good luck! What did you have to do to have your ins approve you? Is the 5k your deductible?

I had a history of doctor documented notes for years about complaints of my back and neck. What helped et approved was my chiropractor wrote a letter to my insurance company stating why this surgery is nessasary. My debt since my doctor is out of network is $650 but still am not sure what the total cost I. My surgery will be till they bill it to my insurance. $5000 was just a guessamite lol.

Anxiety is in full effect!!
Well today I woke up feeling different! I started getting shortness of breathe and just overall do not feel myself! I know it has to do with all the emotions I'm going through since my surgery is right around the corner! My husband will be off the day of surgery but can't take off any other days! His job is rediculous! So now I'm trying to find a sitter for my son and am trying to see if I can stay overnight in the hospital because if not I would have to go to the surgeon the day after to do something with the drains if I'm not mistaken! Everything is hitting me all at once! Keeping positive though and pray that something will turn out good to ease my stress! Other then that I went and purchased my 1000 mg vitamin c and tom will be getting the other meds I need! I went to target to try and find a sports bra with the clips in the front and they had none! Does anyone know where I can get one? Also what else should I buy besides what's in the list my surgeon gave me? Any other recommendations would be great! :)

Try Walmart for a front closing bra. My PS didn't have me wear anything. He put light gauze on and that's all I had on for the first week. When I went to see him at day seven I put on a bralette (which is similar to a genie bra but light and loose fitting) only because I felt awkward going out in public with nothing on. If you look on my profile I posted two of the bras.

prune juice post op to,prevent constipation and a pillow in the care for the ride home. 5 pillows on your bed for sleeping, 2 under the head and neck, one either side to support your arms, and very importantly, one under your knees to prevent back strain.
