My Breast Reduction Story - Toronto, ON

ORIGINAL POST

Hello everyone, I am on this site frequently, and...

Hello everyone, I am on this site frequently, and I must say it is very inspirational. I've had big big breast since grade 4. I skipped the A & B cup and went straight to a C. I am 21 now and 34DDD. I am 5'2 with a small frame. I am a size small in tops but always have to buy medium or large because of my breasts. To be honest, I don't know where this big things came from because it doesn't run in my family. I've been thinking of a breast reduction for many years now and talked to my doctor but at the time I was too young. My breaking point was when I went to Victoria's Secret for a strapless bra and nothing fit. I was under the impression that I was a 34DD but my size wasn't fitting. I asked the lady to measure me and she told me I'm a 34DDD or F. There was one bra that fit in the entire store and even then my breast were spilling out and the bra didn't give enough support. I previously went to my doctor and was referred to a breast specialist. He said I was a good candidate. I live in Toronto, Canada so the procedure cost 0$ I just had to wait for everything to get approved. IT GOT APPROVED TODAY!!! and my possible date is August 16, 2013. I'm very nervous but very excited because I know this will be a life changing experience. Putting everything in God's hands! :)

It's nice knowing that your not alone and that people like you have experienced the same thing as me. I'm glad you are happy with the decision and results. I can't wait to start buying tops that ACTUALLY fit. Aw I thinking posting a story is somewhat like a documentary about this experience. Thank you for sharing your story with me tho and for the kind words :)

What's your insurance? My deductible is as good as the cost of my surgery. I need to shop for a better policy. lol

Amen, God will take are of you!! And I pray all goes well for you lovely! ^-^ I've just turned 20 and I am anticipating my BR, but it isn't scheduled as of yet for I am trying to lose weight to see if anything magical happens, but I am so worn out and annoyed! Best of luck to you and I love your room. :3
July 20, 2013
Thank you so much!!! It's a tough decision but I pray God will lead you to the right one. The weight loss was out of the question for me cause I'm already skinny. But I say try it and see how that goes, this is annoying tho, i understand how you feel. Have you talked to a specialist yet? Keep me posted :) :3

I just had a BR and I was a 28 G!! Your going to love it when it's all over. I feel like a whole lot of weight has been lifted off my neck, back and shoulders! Because I only weight 119 and I'm 5'6 and I'm 22 years old! Good luck ! :)
July 29, 2013
Aww! Congrats! I can't wait to feel how you feel. Thank you for your kind words. God Bless :)

Congratulations! I too had experienced the disappoint of not be able to fit a strapless bra and yes, I even became frustrated in my teen years when I could not fit into any bra in Victoria Secrets. I will be having my breast reduction August 7, 2013 and I am nervous. It will not cost me anything at this point, accept if I have to be admitted to the hospital overnight... I sorry this was a long message. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone!-Good Luck...

Hello everyone! :) I was originally scheduled for the BR surgery for Aug 16 but I recently got a job and don't want to take 2 weeks off as yet. Its a bummer cause I want to get this over with but at the same time I need to make money. I want to get the surgery done beginning of October so hopefully everything goes as planned. Thank you all for your kind words, support, and encouragement!

September 12, 2013
It will, are you excited??
August 17, 2013
Hey ! what doctor is going to do it for you? I am also in Toronto but the surgeon I have said it will cost me 1700 after the OHIP coverage, How was yours free?
September 12, 2013
Really? My doctor said that OHIP approved of everything and that is it covered. The only thing I had to pay for was the surgical bra. My doctor is between Keele and Lawrence and Keele and Eglington.

Hello everyone, I got my BR rescheduled for October 3rd which is less than a month away. I am soooo nervous but excited at the same time. I had to visit my doctor again and we spoke a bit about the surgery and he took some before pictures. The secretary was getting all the paper work ready and while she was doing that, I began to feel light weight and like I was about to faint. I don't know if it was because I was hungry or if it was nerves, I think a bit of both because I've never done surgery before. Counting down the days. Thanks for all the encouraging words :)
