WORTH IT
Hi Ladies.. I have finally decided to get a Breast Reduction. I'm am so tired of carrying heavy boobs.. I had spoken with my family care physician over the past few years about my breast. I thought if I diet and exercise that would help my breasts get smaller..That may work for some but it didn't help me. I spoke with my PS about having a Breast Reduction and lift.. My PS filled out all my necessary information and took pictures of my Breast, his nurse submitted all my information to my insurance company... I have Blue Cross Blue Shield.. I called my insurance company 1 week after my information was submitted just to make sure they had received all the necessary information.. I was told at that time that I had already been approved. That's right ladies 1 week and I was approved... My insurance is covering my entire procedure because I met my deductible and out of pocket expense early this year from a previous surgery that I had to have done. I am so excited...I will be going to Dr. Lynam in Richmond Va.. Richmond Surgical Arts.. I'm going to get breast reduced to a 38D.. Dr. Lynam is going to have my breast sitting up NICE and PERKY... July 1st is my Big day to get smaller Breast... I will keep you ladies posted.. Here are some before pics.

I'm currently a 38 H.. I going to go down to a D cup.. Dr. Lynam said he would make me a Perky D.. I have another visit with him in 2weeks so I'm going to ask if he thinks a C would be too small.. I'm schedule for surgery July1st...

A large C with sagging with made it more a 34 D. I am 5 foot 5...It's the evening of the surgery, and I know I have a local, but already have less back pain than in years.

I had a tummy tuck years ago... Hellish recovery. I often wondered if I would do it better, but allowed me to wear size 4 or 6 pants rather than baggie 10's. Despite the pain much more comfortable and attractive in the long run. But then as time marched on, my breasts got larger and droopier and my frame more prone to tendonitis and scoliosis. I 'm a huge exercise fan, and found I could no longer enjou exercising or running or yoga or daily life activities. At school, the principal found me "off balance" because of the pain and tramadol.

I am a teacher and my BCBS had breast reduction as an absolute excclusion unless it's for cancer. Go figure. I 'paid for myself and figure at my age, it's a dollar a day and the first night I'm already getting pain relief in my back and shoulders and the bra I'm wearing is the first comfortable bra I've warn since age 13! Win! I can exercise seriously now and be there for the elementary school kids I teach without using tramamdol.

I had a 34 C with sagging on a tiny frame. 112 pounds. It was pulling my center of gravity out of wack, resulting in s shape scoliosis and shoulder pain and surgery . And still surgery said it was an exclusion when i gave the call. Should I try retroactively with letters from Othopedists and PCP?

suggestions for bras
flattummy2016June 16, 2016
Hi Ladies.. Hope everyone is healing well and having a great recovery. I am scheduled for Breast Reduction July 1st.. I have not purchased any bras to wear during recovery and healing process. I am going to purchase 1 bra from my Doctor's office because it has loops to attach drains.. Any suggestions on what type of bras I should get and where I can purchase them? Thanks

No i haven't but I'm definitely following this post lol so I'll know... ive seen many say to buy the with wide bands so they won't irritate the scars.. some even mentioned fruit of the looms from wal mart... i honestly have no clue tho lol

I got a Bali one that is soft cup, it does not hook on the front, but at 10 days I could easily put it on, and it's so amazing! That wal mart thing is evil! Evil I tell you! I will post pics Tomm under my review! I might suggest waiting till you need one, I am finding everyone's needs are different.
