Feeling so blessed - San Francisco, CA

Thank you ! Honestly, before this i could never see myself wearing a top like that mainly because of how heavy they felt! I am not sure yet as to what size i am right now since its been only a month and yesterday, when i saw my surgeon again, he said that i was still a bit swollen mainly from the sides. He said that in a month I can wear underwire again so I'm waiting until then to be measured. It is definitely life changing.
Do you have an appointment set up yet?

I'm still in the very beginning stages. I've narrowed it down to 3 surgeons, called the offices but they want me to show up with letters from my primary physician, chiropractor, any one who can help with the case. The letters must indicate why I need this done and what measures I've taken to alleviate this discomfort. Also, I'll need a mammogram since its been just over a year. I guess it's just as well because I'd rather do the surgery when it's a bit cooler outside but I really can't wait to have this "weight off my shoulders"!!! Did you have this insurance circus too? What made you decide on your surgeon? I'm sure you had many excellent choices in San Fran, my favorite city....

That's a good start! Yes, I kind of had to deal with that too. The first thing they had me do was take Ibuprofen for the pain and that didn't work, then I went back to see my doctor to let him know. The next thing to try was physical therapy which only helped when I was doing the exercises but was also kind of painful at the same time, then after that my doctor had to basically write a letter saying that no alternative methods (painkillers, physical therapy) were helping. He submitted the letter and we waited but then the insurance asked for a mammogram or X-rays and I had to do all that too. It's a process but it was definitely worth it. My surgeon was amazing, he was so calm and made sure I knew everything about the whole process and the surgery. He was great! I wish you the best of luck!
