WORTH IT
My motivation for having a breast reduction is my belief is that these "jugs" are overrated. I have nursed three children in a 2.5 years!!! So needless to say, the elasticity and heaviness of my breast are in full effect. I have been considering this surgery for 2 years. Now, I am so so ready to go!

Ladies, I first would like to tell all of you that you have assisted in minimizing if not eliminating the fear that I once had associated with this procedure. I am beyond excited to remove the harnesses from my undies drawer and add nice, bras WITHOUT an underwire.
My pre-op is on Friday, July 7th, and I am more than excited. The doctor is having me get a mammogram prior to the surgery (I am 34 years old; however, I have zero health background on my father's side of the family). After reading all of your posts, I now feel armed with the appropriate questions to ask. Again, thank you!!!
Oh, I will post pics a little later... :-)

Well here's a little more information about me......

Well here's a little more information about me... I am 5'4" and weight about 145lbs. I workout often, and am very health conscious - I am a vegetarian. Not sure what that has to do with anything; however, I thought I would share. :-) I remember for the longest time I would purchase DD bras from Victoria's Secret. Well one day, my husband and I were out shopping, and we drifted over to Nordy's for a proper bra fitting. When the lady came out and said oh... You are a 32 F!!! I nearly hit the floor!!! I could not believe it. She said oh, yes, VS will tell you that you are a smaller cup size and compensate by increasing your circumference around to compensate for them not carrying your proper size! I felt like I had been tricked all of this time. So, needless to say, I went to Nordy's and then hunted at Nordy's Rack to find my correct size.
So, my initial appointment with the PS started with my OB/GYN. I scheduled an appointment with my OB/GYN because of serious tenderness in my breast area every time I removed my bra! My OB said the pain could be hormonal, or it could be due to the heavy sag of my breast... I suggested the later was the issue... LOL
Any who, met with the PS, whom I might add is FABULOUS!!! Met with Dr. Jewel, and she was so kind and nice. She took all of my considerations and concerns and placed me at ease. After meeting with her, the business manager came into the room and explained the process to me and if I was not approved for the surgery, they would resubmit and more than likely receive an approval. Well two weeks after I met with her, I received a phone call stating the insurance company wanted more information regarding my back and neck pain... They also wanted to know if I had any brusing or rashes under my breast... Well Anthem, of COURSE I DO!!! So about one week later, the business manager called me back and said... I have great news for you... well, I screamed and jumped up and down. This was in March, nonetheless!!! So now, July, yes JULY, almost four month later, I am awaiting my surgery. Nervous, excited, at peace, waiting to drop these underwires!!!!
Ladies that workout, how long before you were able to do non-aerobic workouts? I do not mind being able to do light weights on the lower-half of my body. I do kickbox, and figure it'll be about 6 weeks before I can return to that; however, I do plan to walk slowly on the treadmill in my garage after my second week. Thanks for your help in advance...
Smooches,
