Long story short. At the age off 11 was when it all started. I was teased and called names til the day I graduated high school . As and adukt, if they didn't remember my name or face "you know the one with the big boobs." I've dealt with them for 40 years, back and forth weight loss/gain. No complications until now, which is why I'm destined more than ever to get this done.

My BR journey

Went in for a consultation on June 3rd . I'm very familiar with Dr. Brown. He was happy to see that I'd finally decided to do this. I was afraid my insurance wouldn't cover the procedure, but he informed me that they would. He told me to give it 2-3 weeks. So I waited. On June 23rd , his office called to inform me that I was approved. As of now we're looking at the 2nd week of July unless there's a cancellation. I don't know if I'm more nervous or more excited. Now I can't wait to see what people have to say now. Those that I have told are more excited than I am.

I'm almost 6 weeks out from surgery. This will be one of the best things you could ever do for your self! Good Luck!

Thank you!!! So I've been told by others that I know personally. And I'm sure I will considering the pain I've endured for the last 8 - 10 months . Praying that everything goes well during surgery.

Good luck! I had mine Dona at Coliseum. I was not impressed with the anesthesiologists who left me bruised all up and down my arms and scarred the insides of my nose. I told them how to avoid those problems and they ignored me. It Isn't possible to get a tube down my right nostril but they tried to force it when I was unconscious leaving me with a large scab and new scar tissue that will make the problem worse. It also looks like they used me to practice IVs on. I woke up with 2 IV ports and more than 10 sites where they dug around and bruised me. If Dr Brown has privileges elsewhere you might want to consider going there.

If I'm not mistaken , he's affiliated with Northside and MCCG. Thanks for the info.

I had my BR at Northside Hospital- no complaints- they listen to you and are an amazing team

Good for you, it is scary for sure, but you will be happy with your decision. This is the place to go for support, advice, and comparisons. Holler is you have any questions; mine was done on June 6. Sheri

Still I wait

It has only been 5 days since I was approved for my surgery, I am waiting to hear from my PS office for an exact date for surgery, 5 days and it seems like a life time. I guess I'm just overly excited to finally look normal. I have passed many women both large and small breasted, and say to myself I hope I can look like that or I'm glad I won't be looking like that anymore . Besides getting things ready for the big day, what else can I do to calm my nerves? I'm anxious to tell others about it , but at the same time I want it to be a surprise.. I've only told about 6 people, 3 of which have had this done before me, and I go to them enquiring about their experience .

Exercise is a great stress reliever and will also help prepare your body for the surgery. Anything you can do to improve circulation is good. Get a massage, take a walk, plant some flowers... any of that sound good?
June 30, 2016
Really in need of a good massage, a walk sounds good (not sure how long) and planting flowers is out of the question. Thanks, I'll take those into consideration, plus I still have a few more house chores to do. You know you lose people when it comes to needing help as far as cleaning and what not

They evaporate when there is work to do in my house.
I take lots of short walks, mostly just walking in place or I do a few mini squats. Just enough to keep the blood flowing.

Ok, thanks. My niece had me (trying) doing squats, but with this heavy load they have caused some knee problems.
June 30, 2016
I just do mini ones maybe I go down 5 inches. I'm just trying to use my big thigh muscles to get the blood moving, if that makes sense.

From my last consult until my actual surgery was a little over 8 weeks. I could have told you how many seconds left until the day! Hang in there! It's all worth it!
June 30, 2016
Thanks for the tips. I will most definitely try the mini squats. While losing some of this other weight, I don't want my rear end falling by the wayside. The stomach/belly and thighs can go. So once I release my load, I'll be able to exercise more then I'll be able to stay fit.

I think I posted this comment in the wrong spot. But I know you ladies are smart enough to figure out where it goes . It's a reply to KGKAT about the squats. Sorry
