I'm 53 years old and have wanted to have this surgery for decades. My insurance finally covers it and I' m here to document my journey. I am currently a saggy 38 F hoping to go down to a C- or B+ I met with Dr. Tsao for the initial consultation as he was highly recommended by my GP. I was very impressed with his demeanor and the professionalism of his staff. After we met, I was told that I did qualify for insurance coverage. I have scheduled my surgery for June 2016. I've begun buying post surgery bras, and trying to get off the last 10 lbs. of tummy flab before my procedure. Pre-op appointment is next week...woo hoo!!!

I am 5'4" and was 168 lbs at my consultation in Match. The doctor hasn't required any weight loss. However, I want to be as close to 160 as I can get. I'm at 166 now, so I'm a bit frustrated. When is your surgery?

36HH When properly measured

Holy Crap! So, I go in for pre-op tomorrow and followed the directions for proper bra-fitting on http://www.brasizecalculator.tk Feeling quite vindicated to find out that I am a US size 36HH. No wonder my neck and back have been killing me. I need to bring up with the surgeon the issue of migrating breast tissue. I have been shoving all this volume under my arms and spilling out all over for years. I'll report back when I know more.

I think a lot of ladies do that. A properly fitted bra should actually touch your chest in the middle and each cup should hold an entire breast, no more, no less. Lots of gals posting here appear to be wearing bras that are way too small, and are carrying around a lot more than their cup sizes would make it seem.

True I know for me anyway. But no more after this surgery. For me I was in denial for my actual size and had refused to buy larger bras for years. Which is why I now suffer with deep dark grooves on my shoulder . Being able to go sleeveless after surgery, I still can't because of these marks.

Sorry, I'll still be able to wear tank tops but not baring the shoulders

Best luck with everything! You poor woman, carrying that amount of breast tissue - I can't stand my US DD cup! (I'm 4'11", 125, and they're enormous on me!)
