2 days shy of 1 month. Struggling but making it!
$5,100
So... I've been struggling with the looks of my boobs as they heal. I had a free nipple graft and although I knew all the risks and did not wish to proceed due to some, my breasts were so large, I didn't have a choice. The bulbs have been removed from the nipple and initially, they looked amazing! However, the scabs have all come off and it looks like a disgusting mess! Almost like a bad knee scrape. I was so depressed when it first began to peel. PS says they are on track and the color will return as they heal. He is offering tattooing for any pieces that don't turn. He says I'm healing fast and won't need a revision but who knows! Worst part for me right now is that the nipple is smashed down and may not rise much if at all. PS says she can add to it to give it the raised effect but I don't know if a fake nipple will stress me out more than a tiny nipple... I don't think there will be much feeling either. Sad stuff! I'll probably upload photos when they look less scary.
Aside from that, the size looks pretty decent. I still don't know a cup size since my PS refuses to measure me until January. My back feels amazing, my shirts fit and look better and I can finally wear lingerie that'll look pleasing without wearing a bra under it!
...and before I forget, the nerves are reawakening and adjusting and it's like mini jolts of electricity through the nipples and freezing sensations that hurt like hell. Any tips for that?!

I finally did it! No more long boobs!
I had my procedure completed by Dr. Browne of Carle Foundation Hospital. The procedure took almost 5 hours but it was exactly what was estimated. I never got nervous but I worried about the Girls being too small. I woke up with a sore throat and some minor scars on my neck wherethe tube was. I was bandaged and sent on my way with a prescription for pain meds and follow up appointment. Very difficult to sleep the first night but last night was better. Comfy pillows are a must! What else do you guys recommend?! The pain meds are making things tolerable but things could be better .
I went today for the first unwrap and almost cried... they looked too small but in actually, they arent..im pleased! Hoping they will be more photo ready for next week.

Initial Consult Complete!
I met with my Doctor yesterday and I couldn't have had a more positive experience! The doctor believes insurance will be willing to cover the full costs of the procedure due to the disproportion between my breast and body size. I'm praying to hear from insurance sooner than later and hopeful that the procedure will take place before the year ends. We shall see!
