Miss inez
Life is too dang short!! I realized this after loosing both my parents within a year of each other due to health reasons that may have been corrected / avoided . So I made a promise to myself that I would do what ever is I'm my control to start living a healthier life. So I can live life to the fullest,and not just exist .
I have known I needed a breast reduction since soon after puberty I was "different " the most of the other girls . I married young and had my first child by the age of 19 and my breast only grew from there .Fast forward 30 years and here I am "36 ddd ( because I refuse to buy a larger size) . I have joined a gym lost 30lbs and alas all that did for my breast was cause them to sag .Which by the way , that is a word that should never have to be used to describe a part of the human body , just saying . Anywho I now feel younger then I did in my 20's . I love going to classes at the gym and the changes I have made to my health surprise me more everyday . But the pain from my large breast after working all day & then going to the gym and being squished into 2 bras just to avoid self inflicted injury is Ridiculous!! & I'm not gona do it anymore.. I had 2 consultations , both Dr.s were board certified and highly recommended . My husband and I have researched the procedure ,talked & re talked and my decision is made . My surgery is scheduled for April 29,2015. My insurance has been approved ,Time off work is scheduled ,now comes the tough part ..the count down to a healthier body that I can live life to the fullest in

I feel like you're telling my story even though I'm 39.......I've elected to have a complete mommy makeover. I feel the same way you do about the size bra. I went to get another and they went up even more, I was thoroughly disgusted. I am a member at Lifetime and LOVE the gym, but I truly pay for it nightly. My shoulders, back and now I have spasms. I commend you for making the decision to reduce them. I'll be following right in your footsteps sister!! Please keep my posted on your results and the doctor. I am looking for a great one! I'll be checking in on you especially since I'm in McKinney also!

Hey neighbor ! How funny we r lifetime members too .Im not brave enough to do a tummy tuck , I might consider liposuction if all goes well with the B.R . It's funny they all talk about what size we want to be after , and I realized I've never even truly looked at any size bra smaller then a"D" in my entire adult life ! Guess I better start .. Good luck in your search for a Dr. You will know the " right " one when you find him / her .

WOW, I am happy to have found your page! You must have had the surgery already. I can't wait to hear how it went! I am in McKinney as well and going with Dr. Setty! Any info you can give me about the surgery and him as a doc, I would appreciate! I have UHC insurance and hoping they cover me. I so relate to your post! I got married and pregnant at 19 and I have three kids now, (I'm now 27), and my breasts just have gotten bigger and bigger! I, too, am a 36DDD. I also have been losing weight and getting healthy, so it's crazy how similar things are. Good luck on everything!

Hey,trust me when I say you have found the best Dr out there in my opinion! I had my surgery on April 29. I have had no problems. He is truly gifted when it comes to shaping breast ! His staff is amazing as well ,although I didn't need to call them for anything. He answered all the questions my husband and I had and even some we didn't . The anesthesiologist he uses is as great as he is, he uses the same one every time ,so I guess they have it down to a science, although when I look at my breast I should probably refer to their work as art. Good luck with everything ,you can check finding the right dr. Off your list ....

Miss inez

I had always been on the larger side. From c's pre teen to D's after puberty and of corse DD's & DDD's during pregnancy . But after a hysterectomy a few yrs back they just kept getting heavier. The head aches and neck pain ..forget about it never a pain free day. Then I decided to loose weigh and join a gym . What a beating just to fit into a sports bra and endure the awful pain for days after a work out .. Running forget it ,Zumba ha ha ha yeah sure if I wanted to be the side show in class.. 

I had my mind made up , I was going to do this for myself !! My husband has never denied being a breast man , but the night I told him what I wanted to do ,he said its your body , just find the best Dr. You can ! So I called several that my gyn suggested ,made appointments and started reading everything on the web I could find and looking at every utube and web MD video. I contemplated telling anyone especially my grown sons I was doing this.
I called my insurance company spoke to a nurse and told her my neck , shoulder and headache issues. She told me to have every Dr. I had a consult with to send in documentation and photos and they would be reviewed .i saw 3 Drs before I got the approval from my very first visit. Now I just had to pick a Dr.
