WORTH IT$6,175
I am soooo happy I found this site! It gives me lots of hope. I have a consultation scheduled for May 5th. I will be paying out of pocket so I'm hoping the price is reasonable. I've had large breast all my life and i have been having neck and back pain. I hope my consultation helps with my nervousness. I've never had surgery before so I'm a little scared. I just want to be happy

I'm 4 weeks post op. I was a 32G, currently wearing a 34C. I'm so glad I did it. I'm still healing but I can tell the final size and shape will make such a difference to my appearance and comfort. My surgeon was personally recommended so I had total confidence in her. Good luck, you won't regret it!

Consultation day...

Well, I went to my consultation today and I am really happy. Everyone at the office was so nice. However, they told me the cost for the surgery and everything is $8,585. Which is pretty expensive. Is anybody else "self paying"? If so, how much?

Where did you go? I have insurance and am looking. Dr. Vandemark's quoted me $14,000. I have a $2600 deductable to pay and the 20% out of pocket. So that puts me at a little over $5000 (assuming it gets approved). I'm just curious if other doctors charge less.

I am going to Dr. Sonya Merriman. She has a surgical center and it is really nice.

Dr. Vandemark is more expensive. I had my original consultation with him but I looked for another ps that could do the surgery in town and that is when I found Dr. Sonya Merriman. Her and her staff are very nice. My consultation with her was more informative. I am going with her because I liked her and for the convenience of having the surgery done in town versus in Moultrie.

Surgery date.

I found the perfect ps! I finally paid my deposit and set a date for surgery, November 22! I had been having a battle with my fear of surgery and I finally went ahead and paid the deposit. On some days I am excited but on other days I'm scared as hell. Anybody else experience fear? Anyway since I am paying out of pocket, the surgery will be done at a surgery center. Which is really nice, might I add! Prayers and best wishes to everyone. Your stories inspire me
