Pretty Darn Nervous but Still Willing to Do It - Oklahoma City, OK

Dr. A was really great in the initial meeting to make sure I knew what I was getting into and that my expectations weren't over-blown. My breasts have grown immensely in the past two years, while the rest of me hasn't, which is weird. Being at a K cup has been no fun. On top of that, I also have fibrocystic breast disease, so had to have a biopsy on a large area. Dr. A's office advised me of the things my insurance company would look at before approving the surgery, so I did my P/T and biopsy and tried all of the recommended methods for relieving my back pain. Fortunately, after all that, the surgery was approved and I am scheduled for the procedure in December 2013.

I'm a huge pain wimp and have been terrified about doing this, but reading all of the journeys has helped a lot. Thanks to everyone who has been kind enough and brave enough to post here!

This weekend there was a concert I attended, and all I could think about was how, in a few months, I won't have to worry about fitting my giant boobs into a top that fit. That I will be able to fit back into some of my favorite tops that I've been saving.

I went through the post-op instructions with my mom this weekend, and we both were grossed out, but it was reassuring to share my fears, and hear her reassurances that she'll be there to help.

I've been busy getting my questions ready for my pre-op meeting and lining up my helpers. I've also getting all my holiday shopping done and purging the house for my stay-in family who will be helping me recover.
But being this busy hasn't stopped my mind from wondering how much it will hurt and how wonderful it will look and how miserable I will be at first and how excited I am to not have to pick the girls up to place them in a bra.
I'll start back to physical therapy this week, plus I've upped my exercise over the weekend. These are the things I can control now. But boy, am I ready to get this over!
