ORIGINAL POST

My story is pretty much like everyone else. Back...

WORTH IT
My story is pretty much like everyone else. Back and shoulder aches. I am done having kids. Had a hysterectomy in sep of 2013. Still have one ovary so have not gone through menopause. Not sure what my boobs will do then. I went in December for my consultation. Dr was very nice. I felt he knew what he was doing. He said he could get me approved. And then 3 days later I was approved. Yay me! Had to push my surgery out to March as I am heading to the Bahamas for the week. So when I come back I have one week to get everything done. I am so excited that I have not had time for nerves. I am excited to be staying overnight. Hoping for better pain medicine. I live an hour and 20 mins from the hospital. So we shall see. My before pics are posted so hoping to look way different after!!

I'm so jealous you had to put yours off so you could go to the Bahamas .. well I guess you'll be getting back about the time I will be having my surgery or you'll be back just after ..I'm a DDD also but I'm a 40 DDD . You must be on the shorter side I say that because of insurnce I'm tall and my breasts are a tad bigger than yours .. well they may be a lot bigger I wear a 40 DDD but the bra size calculator says I'm an F .who knows DDD is all I can find . If you click my name you can see mine . They are huge but I'm really tall so my BSA was 2.04 I think it was or 2.00 anyway they had to remove from 575-628 depending on what day it was my weight goes up and down a lot I have thyroid diseases.. anyway so I guess if you're shorter then your BSA would be less and thr grams required to be removed would be less .. they told me to take that much from me would leave me with nearly nothing .. but I bet you are much shorter and they are only requiring about 400 or so which is easier to do .. still might make you small but another thing is if you're shorter see you can carry small breasts . A tall woman needs at least a C but my size I probably need a D

Cant wait to get away from all this snow. Yes I am on the shorter side. I am 5'3 and 140 lbs. I would love to be a B. That is what I am thinking.

Oh yeah that would make you fall on the schnur sliding scale at either 338 or 370 grams .. your BSA is 1.68 your BMI I s 24.8 which is about the same as mine

so lomg story short yep that's why probably. .lol you're shorter than me and 370 grams is just under 2 cup sizes . So if that's what they take you'll maybe get what you want . Snow too ? I'm double jealous all we get is hot alabama summers and very short winters with a little frost in the mornings and skeeters. . Ugh I dread the skeeters coming back

Wow this is FANTASTIC!!! This is EXACTLY what I want to look like! I am 34DD and 5'3 and about 130 pounds. I have a one year old who I breastfeed. I want to have one more baby. Hoping to try in Jan. I still breastfeed my daughter and hope to BF if we have a second one but for not as long as this one. I am literally going to bring your pictures with me to show my Dr what I want! Really amazing... you give me hope!
