Goodbye Monsters - Hello New Life! - Sydney, AU

Hello & thank you for reading my blog!
Let me start by saying I’m 21 years old, weight is about 65 kilos and am around 5’3. Since high school I have always been more developed than all my friends. At that stage I liked it because I have always wanted big boobies. By the time I was 17, they were about a size F and I was barely coping. The size of my breast made it extremely hard to do everything- I mean fitness, especially running was out of the equation from the start. I was diagnosed with mild scoliosis in my back, which for years now, has caused me a lot of pain, especially when it’s that time of the month! I have extreme neck, shoulder and back pain- my posture is shocking because of my boobs and not to mention the $$$ for bras, $200.00 + per bra. At the moment, my bra is a size 10J and I’m well and truly over it and ready for a new me ?

I have been pondering over a reduction for years now and have finally gained the courage to book it. I was originally looking to have this procedure done by insurance, but in Australia it’s very hard to find a highly qualified surgeon who will participate. I sent hundreds of emails to plastic surgeons to find a doctor, when one day I received a phone call (the first practice to actually call me to discuss, so I was very happy!) The lady’s name was Jackie, she explained to me that finding a surgeon to do it by insurance will be quite difficult. Jackie took the up most interest in my case and I am so thankful for that! She is the one who convinced me to pay for the procedure and get it done. Jackie checks in with me fortnightly with updates or articles I should read. I have done my research about the practice and can only see amazing reviews! I’m so pleased to have someone like Jackie and my plastic surgeon taking me through this journey!

So, enough of my story- let’s get to the dates ? my first consultation is on Monday 11th Feb 2013 and I’m filled with so much excitement! The surgery is booked for Thursday 21st March 2013. I haven’t had the surgery yet, and I already wish I had of booked this sooner! This website has been beyond amazing and has guided me through- I think hearing from other women who have actually had the procedure done is a lot more comforting than a doctor telling me what MIGHT happen, what might NOT happen.
So I will be putting up my before pictures soon, (I’m working up the courage) and will post my entire journey to help other women like you’ve ALL helped me!

PLEASE NOTE: I am in Sydney, Australia, so my price is in Australian dollars.
