Now about 2.5 months out - still loving every minute; the best thing I have ever done!

What a pleasure to get dressed in the morning! What a pleasure to work out without bouncing all over the place! What a joy to do yoga and be able to actually bend over or lie facedown without boobs in the way! In love, love, LOVE!

Dear Sophiagor, It's been a little over a year now and let me tell you, it is probably the best thing I've ever done for myself! Happy to help.

5.5 weeks postop. Everything is easier -- everything!

Seatbelt still an issue on long drives but I generally hook the shoulder belt under my arm and that helps.

Sassybax bra tops are the bomb! Supportive and comfortable; pull-on or even can be stepped into and pulled up if overhead motion too difficult. If you are D or less after surgery you will love.

Went back to my surgeon's office a couple of days ago - 3.5 weeks post-op - and the abscess that was there last week is completely resolved and the incision, which he had to open a bit so it could drain, looks almost exactly the same as the other side (and almost like nothing even happened). He took all the tape off and the incisions look beautiful! - though it feels weirdly "naked" now... ;) I cannot believe how SMALL I am now - I am guessing B+ size? - which is exactly where I wanted to be!

So. worth. it.

I was denied by my insurance company, basically because I didn't meet their criteria outright - and additionally I was unwilling to "jump through their hoops" to "prove" the medical necessity of the procedure. I would be happy to look at my denial letter again and give more specific details, but that's the general gist of it. I have heard that my particular insurance (Horizon BCBS of NJ) is particularly difficult, for what it's worth (since I don't know where you are).

Thanks! I'm in Dallas, Tx. I currently am looking to purchase private insurance, and have been trying to see which companies make it must difficult to get approval, and what reasons they might have not to approve. I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row brite I start the process of trying to get approved because, as a full time college student, I know I can't afford it out of pocket right now.

Are you on your parents' insurance, and would they help? Now that the law has changed you can stay on until you are 26 if you're a student. You may want to check it out if possible/

Titsy Mcgee (hehe... makes me giggle!), I'm 29 (working on a 2nd degree), so no luck there. Thanks for the suggestion though! All help is appreciated :-)

Worth a shot... Though didn't mean to make you tell us all how old (young!) you are... ;)
