Heyo, everyone! I've been fighting with my boobs...

Heyo, everyone!

I've been fighting with my boobs since I first started getting them-- 3rd grade. -_- By 5th grade I was hated by most of the girls in my grade. By 8th grade, I remember being told I "had the body of a high schooler, and the face of a 2 year old". That was from a boy. My awkward stage extended all of middle school. By the time I was 14 I remember having trouble finding bras in department stores. My mom would buy me the cloth bras that I felt incredibly awkward in: "But mom, they make them all pointy!! I don't want gramma boobs..."
In high school the looks and comments continued. I wore sweatshirts constantly.

Now, graduated and "all grown up" I'm ready to make a change. Finally. I'm ready to get rid of this annoying pain in my back and the divots in my shoulders. To be honest I hadn't really known br was a thing until a friend of mine told me about it. Now she's a peanut. She was maybe 110lbs and she had DDs at one point. She kept going on and on about how awesome she felt with her new body. I kind of got jealous.

I remember going to a bra fitting once, just to figure out what size I really was now: "Honey, I'm sorry but we'll have to order yours. We don't have your size in stock." This was also a plus size store. "Your band size doesn't come with that cup size very often."

So sure thing I started looking into BR. And when I'm bored I like to research-- so I did. All over the internet. And I found this site! It revealed so much I needed to know- including the surgeon I decided to work with. Yey awesome reviews!

I brought it up to my boyfriend and he- as supportive as he always is- said "If it makes you healthy, and you can actually afford bras and can exercise, lets do this. If its what you want, I'm behind you 100%"
I emailed Dr. Tracy Kayan and she was more than accommodating to help me figure out a good day. She always replied to my emails within at least a 30 minute period. The boyfriend came with as support. Dr. Kay was very comforting and (though I had thought it would be extremely awkward) wasn't awkward at all. She showed me pictures and reassured me that br is the #1 most satisfactory plastic surgery. I was so excited to hear that!
She assessed the-um- ladies and said she could almost guarantee that I'd be covered by my insurance. We left a little later, I was calm and excited.

About an impatient month later, I found out that insurance would cover my surgery! Though when I called the out of pocket expenses were intense. 1000$ deductible and other stuff I choked on. That kind of put my plans on hold a little bit. I also let Dr. Kayan know that I and my brother had had surgery before and that the anesthetics had effected our metabolism a bit. She said I probably have something called "malignant hyperthermia". So my surgery would have to be in a hospital setting and not outpatient. I would also have to be the first case of the day.

Then, about 2 months ago I got a new job, with AWESOME benefits, like paid time off, and flexible spending accounts. I looked at the FSA information and went "I CAN AFFORD SURGERY NOW!"
I emailed Dr. Kay again and we scheduled my preop and my surgery.

Now I just have butterflies about the day of. I have lots of friends and family to take care of me, but I'm a little apprehensive having been "under the knife" before. Of course, if I didn't panic when I was nine, I should have the guts at age 20, right?

I can't wait to buy bras in person again and to not be constantly falling out. I can't wait to feel normal.
