$7,500
I have had large breast my entire life it seems. I want to be more active and I know losing some of the weight from my chest will help. I have finally hit a stage in my life when I have decided to do it. I have though about it for years and the pain in my neck and back have finally gotten to be to much. I find myself not be as active as no once was because of how much it hurts my back after. While I was a perfect candidate for my insurance to cover this for me....my insurance policy had breast reduction as an exemption. That means they wouldn't cover it even if I was bedbound due to my boobs. Its a shame but true. I had to pay for my surgery out of pocket..but I'm excited anyway.
The only problem I have is I suffer from anxiety so anything there is to worry about...I'm worrying about. This is really hard for me because the closer it gets the more I worry. I also had to quit smoking!!
My surgeon would not even put me on the schedule until I quit smoking for 30 days. I have been a smoker since I was 14 yrs old. But I quit. Cold turkey. Haven't smoked ONE!
So no matter how scared my consious kind is...my subconscious must know it's the right thing to do.

I'm starting to get very nervous also. Everything will be just fine especially since you quit the cigs! I'm trying to stay as busy as possible to keep my mind occupied!

July 7th! I hope that we have great recoveries with no complications! Do you have everything that you need? I think I'm over prepared!

I don't feel like I am prepared at all. I need to get a couple different bras and that is really hard for me for some reason.

Great job quitting smoking. I'm a worrier too and nothing has been too much for me to handle yet.

What size did you start at? I just noticed you have over 1000 removed from each breast?

I was a 38h basically. The Dr. Really listened to what I wanted I will be a large b or small c when done. He made no promises on cup size but said he would be aggressive and get as much as he could. He got over 5 lbs off my chest. It feels amazing. Hurts but absolutely amazing.

You will. I saw you mention about the areola as well. That is a pleasant perk I wasn't considering. My areola are not perfectly symmetrical now but they are adorable. You are going to fell like a new woman!

pre-op in 30 minutes
Omgosh...I'm nervous just for this part...and there are sooo many questions I have.
I have had a bad couple of days wi5h my back though. Last night I was leaned over trying to shave my legs and it hurt sooo bad. It also feels like I am suffocating myself. I am looking forward to not having that feeling anymore.
The waiting had got to be the absolute worst though. I really just wanna be on the other side of this. I have never been a very good at waiting.
Looking at everyone else's stories and pictures have really helped me through this. That's why I decided to start mine.
It's very encouraging to see people posting pictures and testimony in the DAY of their surgery.
I hope I am that way...but usually anesthesia makes me feel pretty sick to my stomach for the day.
Anyway I'm just waiting on my Drs parking lot..waiting for them to get off lunch and rambling. So I guess I will wrap this up for now.

My PS gave me a script for a Soap Patch, it is what people use on ships and things like that. I honestly think it helped because I am a person who usually gets very nauseous and didn't.

I told them today in pre op...she told me they would give me something before, during, and after so hopefully it won't be to bad.

finished Pre-Op
I just finished Pre-Op and I am feeling a little bit easier about everything. My nurse was so GREAT! She was not hurried or in a rush at all. She let me ask every single silly question that I had and did not act like I was a bother or silly at all. This helped me so much.
I also took a few more pictures for my file and Dr. P came in and gave me an estimate about how large i would end up being. He said that I will be losing about half the size on each one!! I am so excited for this.
He also showed me about where my nipples will sit and the diameter of my Areolas. That has got to be the most exciting part. For some reason the size of my areolas has ALWAYS really bothered me. They are just huge.
My Dr. wants to see me back in his office the day before surgery to "mark" my breast. The nurse said he really likes to have all this done the day before surgery so that on the morning of we can just go for it.
She was super kind and really put my mind at ease about a lot of things.
Just think...this time next summer...i will be able to swim suit shop in a store.
Typing that sentence almost made me cry.
