I have been lurking on this site since my first consult (ok I am borderline obsessed with it). The biggest thing for me was dates, I wante dto know how long bewteen each step should I expect to wait. So I will start off my my review with dates. I went to see my primary care physician in January and she was awesome in getting the ball rolling. She recommended I go to physical therapy, since that would give the insurance company more eveidence that this definitely a problem. So I went to PT at the end of March (I procrastinated with this appt. because all of this wasnt real to me yet). Well my PCP sent it off to the insurance compant and they approved me immediately (I guess the PT notes helped) to see the Plastic Surgeon. So my first consult was April 18th and it wa sthe best day of my life. Wonderful doctor and he took one look at me and sid its a done deal, I WOULD be getting my surgery. FINALLY, or so I thought, my world crashed around me a couple of days later when I called about scheduling, the not so nice schduler basically told me I would be getting the surgery around Christams since the doctor had a really long waiting list. At this point I was crushed but I only stayed down for a minute, I reaserached my health plan and figured out that I could see a doctor outside of Kaiser. So my wonderful PCP gave me a referral and it was approved I saw him last Thursady 6/13 and he basically said the same thing, that the surgery was a done deal. SOOOO in the last couple of days I decided to call my first doctor back (6/19/2013) and miraculously they had open dates (what if I hadnt called???) and I am now scheduled for July 24, 2013 YAYYYYY. Finally!
Now I must warn you, I will be putting up my picture but I think I hould warn you ladies that they some of the biggest I have seen on this site. I have dealt with extremly large breats for a long time. I am 31 and I want to enjoy things regualr size women enjoy. I want o go swimmimg, I dont want to wear granny tops for the rest of my life. Most importantly I want this weight gone. The doctor said he could remove 15 pounds easily if not more. I want to be a full c cup. Ok ladies, I will be updating thsi site all the time now. I look forward to sharing with all of you especially when I am on the other side!

I just had surgery on June 20, 2013. The overall experience is great. My biggest fear is the swelling but everyone says that it will go down. I know you will be happy with your results. So far so good these pain meds and antibiotics are helping me to cope alot with all the pain

Hi there, I had a similar experience to you, just nodding and yes, it is a done deal. I know it is hard to have such big breasts. Like you I can't wait to have them gone. September 26 for me. I would do it tomorrow if I could.
June 22, 2013
Girl tomorrow aint the word, i was tempted to call and see if they had anything sooner lol, but the waiting time gives me time to get things in order at home and work.

Hi we are 1 day apart! My surgery is July 23. I have very heavy breasts as well that does not fit my body. (Still getting the courage to posts pics :-( ) I'm 33 and would so love just to wear shirts that fit me and not just the boobs! Good luck! I'm obsessed with this site as well. It's very informative and supporting.

Congrats! Honey i know you seen my picture, and i was struggling for months whether to put a pic up or not, but i just sat down and did it, because the pics on this site really help with perspective so i did it and look forward to adding more (i generally stay away from cameras because i hate the way they look) but i will put up some pics in clothes.

I had the same dilemma, but I I think that it really helps others if you do it so I did, even though my boobs are much bigger than most on here.

Girl let me tell you something...thank you for the picture..i am even more excited for your surgery. You are a tiny little thing behind those breasts. I feel bad for you having to haul those around..people sometimes do not understand the daily struggle..but you are going to look amazing!!! Cant wait to see you transform..

I had my pre op appt. today and all it did is make me 1000 times more anxious! I can not wait until July 24th, I did get some hope today, i talked to my doctor's scheduler and it looks like she may be able to get me in before the 24th. Keep your fingers crossed for me ladies! I want to wear a cute sundress before it gets cold out lol ?

W.O.W... I feel so awful for you!!! I cannot imagine how much extra weight those must add to you! You must be in horrendous pain! :( Good luck! I hope they can get you in before the 24th. Keep us posted!

Thanks honey, I can't wait... of course I will update often...this site has been a god send!!!

Honestly. I have been complaining about my 36J's for years (they were 36DDD before I had my son, he just turned 9). But you! You lady, you have it so much worse!! I'm so happy for you, I cannot imagine what it must be like for you. My surgeon expects to remove 7lbs total, which I thought was a lot. I've been likening it to giving birth to a baby out of my chest... but you've literally got twins!! I am 6 days away after a long, long, difficult journey... it will be so worth the wait!! Good luck and keep us posted!
July 5, 2013

I am glad that you are now so close and i am sending all positive thoughts your way!!!!! I look forward to your updates once you're on theother side!!! Of course i can't wait for my updates!!!! Good luck!!!
July 3, 2013

July 5, 2013
Girl i have told family members and showed them the pic, that was a big step but it feels good, no one could believe they were that big because i tie these puppies up, but i still feel like i look awkward. I can't wait to be on the other side!
July 5, 2013
Wow I know what you mean all my family are like you don't look that big I say cause your not the one caring these bad boys around but like you say this will soon be over I have 6 more days!!
July 4, 2013

July 5, 2013
I wish, my dream is she will call Friday and give me an appt. for Monday, i know only in my dreams lol!!! But i do think she will call before the 24th because she said as long as i can be available on short notice then she could probably fit me in!!!
