Well, my whole life I have been the girl with big...
Well, my whole life I have been the girl with big boobs. I developed way before other girls and even remember wearing a training bra in elementary school. Well, I have finally had enough of the back pain, the shoulder indents, and the stares I get from people walking down the street. I have never been comfortable with my breast and have always found ways to cover them up by either a long shirt or an oversized jacket in the Florida heat. I've always been so self conscious of my body and I'm ready to be able to wear the clothes I want and love my body.
I have made the initial appointment in went to go see Dr.Glassman in Jacksonville. He was very nice and answered all my questions. Then a few weeks later I was called and they confirmed that my insurance would cover my reduction! I am so excited and going back in this week to talk about the size and considering having a lift done with my procedure.

Wow!
So, I went to my follow up appointment today after hearing that my insurance was approved and it just solidified everything for me. I am so ready for this burden to be off my chest, literally. We all agreed on a small D and the lift happens along with it. They had to squeeze me in a time because I wanted to get this done before my fall semester starts in September. My pre-op appointment is August 12th and my surgery date is August 19th. I'm so excited and scared at the same time.
I have to stay overnight in the hospital due to the fact that I'm going to have drains, but it's so worth it. I can't believe this is finally happening.

Wow what insurance? Good for you

Yeah, they want to see that you tried to handle the pain alternatively. My father is a doctor though so that sped things up a bit.

One More Week!
My surgery is in one more week! I have my pre-op tomorrow and I just went and got all of my blood work done today. I'm excited and scared, I don't know the level of pain I will be in after my surgery and I don't know what tasks I will be needing help with.
Also, I've read all the comments so far, and though I understand a lot of your concerns, this is something I feel like I really need. Ive thought years about this and I'm so tired of being self conscience of them and I'm so tired of the pain they cause. They may look pretty and perky now but give them 5 years and I doubt they will be in the same place.
And for those of you who left me supportive comments, thank you so much! I've really been needing them.

I just read through some of the comments on your other posts and I can't believe how rude some people can be! This isn't an easy decision to make and I don't think people understand just how unbearable the pain can get. Kudos for making this decision and I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

You go! I am 13 weeks post op and my only regret is not doing it sooner :-). It is a personal decision so ignore the haters. Only peeps with natural HUGE boobs understand the desire to scale down and you are right, they won't stay perky forever. At 53, my nipples were huge and looking at the floor hanging almost to my waist. It was awful!

Just been reading through the comments on your other posts and I'm shocked at how unsupportive and meddling the majority of those women have been. You do have very lovely breasts, but they obviously cause you psychological and physical pain, so why should you put up with that. Don't listen to any of them, they're idiots. I wish you the best of luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery! I'm 14 days post op and loving it! X

Lovely comment Hllzbllz....we are allowed to voice our opinions which is what the forums for with a compliment as well. However were all aware ultimately she must do what makes happy.
Thanks - I must be an idiot then!

My own comment was an opinion too... Maybe 'idiots' was a bit harsh, but it can't be nice having a ton of people essentially saying they think you're making a mistake. People mentioned scarring a lot - "don't do it, youll regret the scars". I'm sure she's done plenty of research into breast reduction and the risks, complications, scarring etc. Her own plastic surgeon will go over those things with her. I just think people could be more supportive that's all :)

I guess we should all just agree even if our thoughts are not aligned. I don't think anyone was actually trying to even change her mind . I speak for myself and thought she looked perfect so wanted to just let her know. If she wants to get it done she will and she will do research and do what SHE wants.
Yes using the word "idiot" was definitely harsh and probably even juvenile and unnecessary. however thanks again for your friendly and lovely comment ;-(

I just had mine done August 10, 2015. I'm 19years old, 5 foot even. And 115 pounds. My breast were a 34 TRIPPLE D. Keep in mind I'm only 5 feet tall. I spent years researching and looking up facts, and took a long time thinking about my choices. I'm only a week post op, but I'm so happy with my decision. Honestly, I feel like if you're worried about scares then you are not ready for this operation. My back and shoulder pains are so bad that I can't even work. (I'm a server paying for college). I hope and pray that my scares aren't so bad. But that's not greater than the pain I'm in. I still look like Frankin-[RS bleep]. Haha but I love my new boobs so much. I went down to a high C almost a D. But that's with a lot of swelling still. So I'm pretty sure I'll be an average C after all the heeling(:
Also I tried working out. I'm already in shape and I would do chest work out. Nothing worked. My large boobs actually made working out so hard and painful!
Best of luck to you!!! I'm sure everything will go great!(:

I'm not too worried about the scarring, probably my only small concern. I experience a lot of pain too and am on my feet a lot for my job. I've been researching this for years but I have finally taken the steps to get it done and I am really excited.

I know I'm a few days behind here, but I'm a 34 HH, 33 years old and getting my reduction in a months time. People who dont have a large chest will never understand, its not about how "gorgeous" or "perfect" it looks (to other people!) but the amount of pain, physical and emotional, we're in. I wish I had done this years ago. Best wishes in your recovery!

Thank you! I hate when people say that other people "pay thousands of dollars for your boobs," but, I am not those women and I know what is best for my body. I wish you all the best on your breast reduction journey!
