So far, I am completely overjoyed in choosing Dr. Frank Barone and his team to be doing this with. They've been nothing kind and lovely and make you feel immediately welcome. Dr Barone goes through talking with you on all of the important stuff. I was dead set on going to a c, but he said for my body type a d would be best as I will be losing weight and boob if I go with the c. So I'm sticking with the d cup.

My surgery appointment is this tuesday. I have to be there to prep at 6:30 am and srugery should be taking place around 7:30 am. I was told it will be a 3-4 hour procedure and I really want to talk them into taking videos/pictures of me during operation as I am completely curious.

I am slighted to have 650 g-800g taken off of each breast per my insurance company. I am very thankful that I did not have to jump through hoops to get this covered by med mutual. All I have was a letter from my PCP stating issues I've been complaining about and that I had started at. Dr Barone also sent in information on me being a candidate. About two weeks later, I got the call that my surgery was approved!

So now I'm 3 days out and I'm losing my mind, I just wanna get it done already. I'm hoping and praying that this will bring me the relief that everyone swears will happen. I just want to actually be able to work out without my [RS bleep] getting in the way or slowing me down.

Good luck to u! My preop is tuesday, but my surgery is april 16th! My surgeon said the same thing to me about the cup size. I was set on a c and he says a d would be more proportional. Cant wait to see our results!

Hello. That’s great news about your surgery. I’m getting mine done a week after you, the 10th April. I have informed my surgeon that in an ideal world I’d like to be a c cup, however, on the NHS it’s difficult as they have to remove a minimum weight. He couldn’t promise an exact size but said he try and get me as close to a c as possible.
Like you, I’m hoping that the reduction will eleviate the back, neck and shoulder pain? Every night I wake up with terrible back ache and have to prop myself up to ease it. Now that the dates getting very close, I’m getting impatient and just want it done.
I hope it all goes well for you. Please keep your journey updated. I’ll look forward to reading how you got on. All the very best of luck. Take care x

I also became impatient the weeks leading up. I tried to keep myself busy by picking up hours at work, but I ended up having to make my FMLA a week earlier due to the back pain. I was literally in tears. I hope you find as much relief as I have!

2 days post op and I couldn't be happier! No pain, just mild discomfort! All pre op pain in neck, back, and shoulders has been allieviated! I don't even have to force myself to sit straight and not hunched over. Dr Barone has been a god send! Tomorrow is the first reveal with dressing changes. I will be sure to post pictures.

Words cannot describe how extremely happy I am with my results! They're beautiful! I am more than content with having chosen Dr. Barone and his team! I requested to have some pictures taken of my procedure seconds before the anesthesia kicked in, and they did it! Wonderful people!

Any update on how you're doing?? I'm 3 days post-op and your breast are the only ones I've seen that look similar to mine after the reduction. The PA's said they will look great, just scary right now and need to continue to heal
