Just Another Girl with Big Boob Probz - Roanoke, VA

Hey everyone! Like everyone else, Im here to shed some insight to others about my breast reduction surgery exprience. Right now, I have 4 weeks until my scheduled surgery date and I dont mean to wish life away but I am so excited! I am a 23 year old stay at home wife, 5'11, 250lbs, and currently in a 38/40G (which I believe is a little small cup wise, if I bend over, I spill out). All my life I have been that girl with huge boobs, who also played sports that required atleast two bras. Ive wanted a reduction for so long now but kept postponing because I wanted children first. After recently being diagnosed with PCOS and my husband with low count/motility, I decided to seek out a consult with a PS that I was referred to from a friend. The consult had to be one of the most laid back, easy going appointments Ive ever been to! He took pictures, measurements, weight, and did some different drawings and markings. I was also very briefly told about how the surgery and recovery process works, as he said there will be lots more information to follow once an insurance claim is filed. I did openly tell him all of the discomfort I was experiencing (migraines, rashes, shoulder and neck pain, grooving) and he documented these things along with pictures in a letter that was sent to my insurance company (BCBS of Alabama PPO). It took 4 weeks to hear anything back and I was APPROVED! Simply the best phone call I have ever received! I am hoping to be a C/D cup. I think I am leaning towards a D. I mean, I just want to buy cute Victorias Secret stuff!
My pre surgical physical, blood work, and markings are scheduled for November 7 and the big day is November 11. While I didnt need a referral for a consult, my PCP was made aware that I need additional documentation. Better safe than sorry! I also wasnt asked to lose any weight but I did take it upon myself to lose 8-10 lbs before surgery (3lb loss thus far!).
So any wonderful words of encouragment or tips of things to have on hand to make things easier/comfortable would be greatly appreciated!

Ps, Im not sure what my cost is yet, but my OOP Max is $1500 so it gives some of you a ball park idea. And I dont have any boob pics yet, but will post some other photos.

I havent been on here in awhile, keeping busy with things around the house that I know cant be done for awhile post op. I actually have my first preop tomorrow! Urine sample for a pregnancy test. Meh. Im not good at peeing on demand. Then next Thursday, I go for blood work! Its so close that Im getting anxious but far enough away that it hasnt set in yet.

I went to the chiropractor yesterday and had her adjust my neck and shoulders.... so wonderful. I have one more appointment next week, then afterwards she is going to work with me getting proper posture back. Yay!

I havent bought much in terms of post op goodies, I guess I should get on that. Next week, we are also having an estimate done on our exterior renovation.. Im hoping being busy will pass the time quickly!

Anyways... Ill be back after my preop to give detsils.
Goodnight ladies!

Its Saturday night at midnight... my countdown app on my iphone says I have 1 day and 9 hours! Its getting so surreal! My preop appointment was wonderful! Dr. Thomas did my measurements and did markings. He was very thorough and excited for me as well. I had my antibiotics filled at Kroger, did most of my pre and post op shopping after I had bloodwork done. I have finished a majority of household chores, now to make it through tomorrow! Oh... can I say that I am just 100% nervous about being put under?! Eeeeee!


Anyways, 1 day!! Goodnight ladies :-)
See yall on the small side!
