WORTH IT
Hello everyone I'm getting very excited and yet very nervous for my upcoming surgery on September 12. Just a little bio about me. I'm 37 years old and currently wear a 44g cup. I've always been heavy chested since middle school but after two kids who were both breast fed, well I've gotten much larger. I currently suffer from chronic migraine headaches and on Naproxen medication. In addition to the constant back and neck pains. I can't wait till be able to start running again. It's a little hard to run with the girls flopping and down. And OMG to be able to buy pretty bras like VS and not the few selection of bras that cost $50 and up.

I had no problems getting my insurance to approve the surgery. As a matter of fact I had my consultation with Dr.Gross on May31 and received my letter of approval on June 8.

So let the countdown begin!

You're going to be sooo happy, the nurses at Henry were great, I'm truly happy for you! I've shared the mental adjustment has been hard for me, I have no idea why, but so glad I did this. Blessings girly, and best of luck on your journey!

I had my Pre op appointment today and everything went very well. I think the excitement was clearly shown on my face. My PS did my markings and my blood pressure, blood work and all that great stuff were done. He also informed me that I will have an overnight stay at the hospital which I feel really comfortable with. I did ask whether or not if I will have to wear the drains and he said just that night and they will be taken out that morning before I'm discharged. Whewww, I don't know why I was freaking out about the drains. They just seemed gross and uncomfortable.
The staff including my PS are all great. Very professional and so far have made this an pleasant experience .
Until then goodnight ladies and will update in a few days.

Can't believe after years of putting this surgery off I will be on the other side. Trying to get a few things done today so I can be relaxed and calm tomorrow.
