36DDD+ Ready for Relief

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself to the community. I went in for my first consultation yesterday, and the doctor thinks I’m a good candidate for a reduction and lift.

I’m 30 years old, no kids, 5’1’’ and 165 pounds. I wear a 36DDD but am spilling out the tops and sides, so I’m sure I’m actually bigger. I’m hoping to be somewhere around a D.

I also suffer from PCOS, so I’ve enjoyed reading others’ posts who deal with it as well. I’m also curious if anyone has ever done micro-needling to help reduce scarring.

I’m currently waiting on insurance to see if it’s approved, but I’m also prepared to pay out of pocket, as I know it’s difficult for many to be approved. I’m hoping to have the surgery early next year.

Nice to chat with everyone!

I just got off the phone with the doctor's office, and we have a date! January 19, 2018.
They were oddly booked up more than three months in advance, which they said it usually isn't booked up that much. I travel a lot and it was hard for me to find a date other than in January that would work. So after the receptionist spoke with the doctor, he agreed to come in on a day he doesn't normally do surgery to accommodate me. I have to admit, I'm feeling pretty guilty about that—that's just my personality to not want to inconvenience anyone. So as excited as I am, I do have some guilt for them bending over backward for me.
As for insurance, I'm just going to pay upfront, and the office will help me submit claims after the fact. Has anyone done that?
I guess now I just enjoy the holidays until my pre-op appointment, which is the first week of the new year!
Any advice for things you wish you had asked during the pre-op?

The doctor did my markings yesterday, and today is the day! I leave for the surgery center in about an hour. I haven’t been nervous until I sat down to write this!
