So I had my consultation with my PS yesterday (4/26/17). He was extremely nice and very optimistic about me getting an approval. I've had huge breasts since middle school and now that I have the means to change that, I am excited about doing so. People ask why, but I always say how would you like walking around with a 20lb bag of potatoes around your neck, deep grooves and dark marks on your shoulders? He said he will probably be able to get about 7.5-8.5 pounds FROM EACH BREAST!!! I'm literally carrying my daughter on my chest. It is exhausting to say the least. I am hopeful that my insurance will approve me, I have optima health. I have submitted my personal letter to my PS in hopes that it will help them understand why I need this BR. If you ladies have any comments or advice please feel free to leave it in the comments. Good luck to everyone who has a surgery coming up. I send miracles and blessings your way!

You're life will not be the same. I had surgery on May 1st and boy am I happy and excited. I stayed overnight and didn't have any drains. I haven't had any pain and actually stopped taking the mess after day 3. 1-Be sure to start drinking plenty of water a few days before as it will help with bleeding, IV and pain! 2-Get you some throat lozenges. My throat was sore after surgery for a couple of days. 3- plenty of rest afterwards. When they say no lifting or extra activities, please believe you will need help. I was clear to take a shower after three days but didn't until after my incisions were removed after reading the comments I wanted to prevent any infections. I'm so happy, in case I haven't said it before. Try not to be to nervous, its major surgery but then recovery is not bad at all. Just drink plenty of water and take vitamin c before/during and after!! Get ready for new confidence levels and all around happiness.

Best thing I've ever done for my self esteem, confidence, and well being. I was so sick of men making comments about my breasts. Their size and weight made it uncomfortable to sleep at nite and to exercise/jog. I always had to were athletic bras and finding a bra was a nightmare. I've always have had an athletic build so weight had no influence on the volume and weight of my breast. I was always aware of the d#@* things because they made me physically and emotionally uncomfortable. I am now a happy 34C. The process was fairly quick in my case.
Surgery and recovery were a breeze. I only wish that I had done it earlier in my life.

They just sent my stuff over to the insurance company this week so now I'm playing the waiting game. I am nervous, but I have a good feeling about it. Do any of you have Optima Health?

My information was added to the system yesterday (May 18, 2017), and it says under review, so I'm waiting for them to approve it. They have the surgery scheduled for July 13th which is good for me since it's before my birthday! I'm so excited and I am expecting good news within the next few days.
