I have been reading all your posts for weeks now. They are so genuine and helpful. I started my journey in January and my surgery is scheduled for June 11. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. My story is pretty much the same as all yours. The 50 cent version is I am just too big and don't want to be like this any more. I think the last bra I bought was a 40G. I didn't know the alphabet went up that high. My doctor estimates that he'll remove 900mg per breast. Wow! Fine with me. Boobs-be-gone. I was approved by my insurance company, have been to my GP for approval, had my pre-op testing today, and go see my PS Tuesday for the final pre-surgery appointment. I am mad at myself for not doing it sooner. I am 50 years old, the kids are leaving the nest, and I'm ready to not be weighed down by my boobs and the problems they have brought me. I have read all your stories, comments, questions, and suggestions and have gotten lots of good information from each and every one of you. Thank you all! I will keep you updated as my journey continues.

It's 9 days until my surgery and I couldn't be more excited! I see the PS on Tuesday for my final visit before surgery armed with all the questions I've learned from you all. Thanks!! I'll have to get some pictures so I can post before and after, but I've always hated getting my picture taken. I'll work on it. Stay tuned...

Saw the PS tonight for my last visit before surgery. Everything's a GO!!! I am even more excited now, and I didn't think that was possible. I got all my questions answered and I am good to go. The next 7 days is going to drag! Thanks to all who commented, I appreciate the support.
