29 Y/o 32G My Breast Reduction Journey - Oklahoma City, OK

I've had large breasts since I was a teenager. They topped out at a 34H a couple of years ago. That's when I got REALLY proactive about getting the surgery. I saw a couple of plastic surgeons, they said I definitely qualified for the procedure, they filed with my indurance at the time, and I was rejected multiple times. My insurance wanted me to shell out a ton of copays for physical therapy, massages, etc...so I got discouraged and gave up until this year. The catalyst for making me really go for it this time was the supoory amd encouragement of my partner and finally having the money to pay out of pocket. I did some research and found an acclaimed PS named Dr. Anureet Bajaj. After seeing some videos about her from her site, an interview she did for the local news, and some reviews from former and current clients, I made an appointment for a consultation. Since I had spent years doing research and had a pretty good idea of what I wanted, my consultation was brief and to the point and I was able to schedule the surgery and pay the $600 deposit the same day as my consultation. The day of thr surgery came and I was calm and collected due to my confidence in Dr. Bajaj and her staff. Her nurse poked me three times before she was able to do a successful IV (very painful!), but other than that the procedure went well and I was home and in bed hours later all drugged up and happy. I'm not sure I was prepared for the long recovery time, as well as spending up to 3-6 months in this godawful surgical bra (it's the only comfortable thing I have), but I wouldn't take any of it back. I'm 5 days post op now, quite bruised and swollen, but ready to be patient and invest the time and energy into healing. Grateful for this community and look forward to updating you as my journey progresses and look forward to following everyone's progress!
