WORTH IT
I have read about a million other reviews on here before making my decision to do this and I am 100% ready. I suppose I should share some things about myself! I am 19 and, like most other people that have gotten this procedure, I developed very early in the breast area. I was in 4th grade I had already grown to a B from absolutely nothing the year before, by 6th grade I was a D and throughout middle school I was a DD. By sophomore year in high school I was a DDD and now I am a 36G, I am hoping to ge down to a C/D. My PS says that will be about half of my right breast and 1/3 of my left, as my right is considerably bigger than my left. I am 5'6 and about 190 lbs, ugh, it's extremely hard to lose weight when anytime you work out you're confined to the bed for the next few days due to back pain. I had previously tried to get BR done when I was about 15/16, I went to a PS and they told me to lose weight even though I only weighed 160 lbs! So I forgot about it for awhile but recently pain has gotten to be too much.I met with my new PS on Oct. 24th and she took pictures and took notes so now I'm just waiting on approval from my Insurance! My PS thinks I am a great candidate for this and is positive I will be approved, I'm crossing my fingers that she's right!

I had tried 7 years ago and my insurance didn't cover. I started with my insurance co again 6 months ago and it was covered but had to be proven medically am pleased with them now I hope I feel the same once the swelling goes down. I can't sleep though. I am very uncomfortable with the tightness. I am just glad it was covered and I am only 11 days post op but I am gets antsy because I am stuck at home. I need to get out but not want to over do myself and then pay for it later. Good luck keep pushing on the coverages because I did and I got what I wanted. Got my own Christmas/birthday gift. Yay for me!!!!!

I had to get so much documentation from my usual doctor before I got approved. I am now 2 weeks out and I feel fantastic! I find it hard to sleep as well, mostly because I am usually a tummy sleeper and since I ran out of my pain meds. My isurance covered most of it so it was only $2000 out of pocket and I am already so grateful that I got this done! I was super antsy being home all the time as well, I felt good enough that I was able to run little errands with my boyfriend when I felt I needed to get out of the house! I hope you start sleeping better and have a great recovery :)

I am super excited! I just got the call from my PS office saying I've been approved for the surgery!! I was worried I wouldn't be approved because I was declined in the past, but I am just drowing in relief because all I have to worry about is the surgery now!

Don't worry about the surgery. Fear of surgery made me delay having this op, what a mistake, it is fine. I had it done a year ago and my only regret is not having it years ago. Go for it, best of luck.

Fixing things

ValVal2813
So I had a little trouble with scheduling. The PS office had to move my surgery to the 19th, which does not work for me as I will not have a ride if it's done the 19th :( So I had to call and make them change it back to the 18th. Luckily everything is set again for the 18th, I just feel bad for inconviencing the PS. I am a week away from surgery though so I'm not going to stress about it! I also got a call from somebody I don't know from the PS office saying they needed my insurance info again, I was worried they had messed up and I wasn't approved anymore but luckily they just needed it for the payment part, not the approval part!

I am not nervous at all for the surgery for some reason? I feel more excited about the long term rather than worrying about the actual surgery and recovery, so i suppose that's a good thing I'm not freaking out! I am going to go shopping Friday for some button up shirts and comfy socks to wear during recovery! Any other ideas of what to buy before the surgery?

I will take some before pictures soon to upload here as well :) I'm so excited to be actually doing this after thinking about it for years!
