WORTH IT$20,000
Today, after years of waiting, I got approved. I am 5'1 and was told I was a J. I never knew this because I had been wearing the wrong type of bra for me. I am small framed, yet was wearing a 38" inch and the PS told me I was only 32". My cup size was smaller b/c I wasn't fitted correctly. So, now I am reading reviews, pondering all the things the doctor said and really scared. I have hurt because of them, been self conscience over them, wanted them gone so bad its almost brought me to tears. Now that it can be anytime I want it I am scared to death. I have three kids and my husband is great but don't want to be an inconvenience. I was told after three days I would be able to fix food and what not but still could not drive until my drain tubes were removed and still needed to take it easy and no lifting. Then I read horror stories and am starting to wonder if its worth it! Any words of encouragement are greatly appreciated!!!

Tomorrow is Pre Op :O
Tomorrow is when I get to flood the doctor with questions. I don't wont her to think I am nuts though! I am wanting to correct my nipple inversion as well. Hoping that won't cost too much more since I am already put under. Wow, overwhelming a bit! Soon I will get to wear a normal size shirt! Size 3 pants and XL shirts! Pictures soon, but not digging the thought of that. The "glamour shots" I had to take for the insurance was scary enough!

I'm sinecure you got approved!! You are going to do great! I had mine 12/26 went more smoothly then I thought it would. Still amazed by the results and Not having bra straps digging in. I made sure to do arnica montana and herbal supplements after . I thought getting the drains out would be bad but it was not it was a relief!! I still had to use pads for a few days in my bras! Good luck!

Sitting here drinking coffee and can't believe how great I feel. I am 8 days P0. I'm going shopping for bras today. As I said before, I had no pain with BR. You will do great. I'm praying for a blessed recovery for you.

My Phone auto corrected but should have said so happy you got approved to make you feel better ask about a pain pump. They will also give you something to relax you the night before. Ask as many questions as you need to! For me since I have been on pain meds for years I was scares and they were worried the pain med would not work. They were correct. I had to double up and thankful I had a pain pump. Did not help I fell two weeks later on ice.injured my ribs. Good lucky today

Pre Op went good, I thought, six days!
Pre Op was great except I think I want her to change the procedure. Unfortunately she is out until Monday :(. I decided a free nipple graft was too extreme even with me wanting a nipple correction. Will hold out for six more months to get them fixed without cutting them completely off. Lets hope she is willing to do that. I hate to start all over. I know she was wanting to accommodate my wants, but hope she will do another procedure. In the grand scheme of things I am not so large it is dangerous and I don't smoke and have no prior reductions. I have been researching like crazy. I don't see why it should be an issue and it may not be. Hope I don't have to get a second consult at this stage in the game. But we gotta do what we feel in our hearts is best for us. Now I just have to get the money for the nipple repair. Man, I never thought I would share this stuff with anyone, much less on the internet. Thanks for listening ladies!
