Two years ago, I started seeing a chiropractor on a twice weekly basis for neck and shoulder pain. I thought it was from long hours at my desk job. I now realize that it was only a small portion of my problem. Like many of you, I have always been large breasted from an early age. But I didn't even consider that as the root of my problem since in later years they sagged a lot and were not as full since I was a yo-yo dieter for most of my life.
So, here I am at age 51 and like a light going off in my head, it struck me ( never let it be said that I'm not a slow learner, haha). Well...it didn't strike like a lightning bolt or anything that fast....just a gradual and growing awareness of what could be causing these problems. Chiro care was not fixing it, so that's what got me to thinking of this. And to back-track a bit, I'd had another surgery earlier in the year (not plastic surgery) and had all my deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses met and knew this was the perfect time to do this.
So long story short, I had my first consultation with my plastic surgeon, who is absolutely a great doctor, in sept. I didn't know a lot about this type of surgery in the beginning and didn't learn as much as I possibly should have until after my surgery. Most of what I learned was on this great and informative site. I had my surgery in dec and all I can say is wow! I am so pleased with the new boobs and mostly being pain free and no darn headaches!
Oh, I almost had a set-back between the first consult and the next dr's visit because I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. When I called my dr's nurse (she urged me to call anytime I had a question) I asked her about being a diabetic and the slow wound healing issues that diabetics have. She said as long as it was under control, there should be no problem. I had nearly 2 months of learning to live with diabetes and controlling it with diet and exercise, and lost 20 lbs in the process, so I decided to forge ahead. I am so glad I did. The relief from the neck and shoulder pain even the moment I came to in recovery is just astounding to me. I have no regrets and would recommend this to any woman with large breasts. Well, I do wish I'd done it earlier in life.
