I am having my surgery sat. Nov 29 th. Was supposed to be the 20th. So I'm going out of my mind right now. My primary doc says don't back out. It will be worth it. I M so nervous but excited at the Same time. I just want the weight off of. My breast. They hurt and I'm so uncomfortable. I wish for no more rashes and embarrassment.

Best wishes, I am 54 and just had my BR about 3 months ago. Mostly healed an back in action. Especially today as I cooked the whole entire feast starting at 4:30 this morning. My back is way better than before even after wrestling the 22 pound turkey several times. And guess what else....my boobs did not bump into one thing all days. No gravy stains, no sticking the tatatas in grease or anything while slaving over the stove. The new ones are just NOT in the way like the old huge ones were. And no underbreast heat rash either. I am so happy with my decision. Now toasting myself with a bit of Chardonay as the out of town family is gone and the kitchen is (mostly) back in shape. Hope all goes well with you. Happy Holidays!

Trying to delete this whole thing. Everything has been a mess. I'm switching doctors After two times of being cancelled. I'm done I was in the hospital with iv in arm. Waiting for doc to come and 1/2 hr after surgery was supposed to start he called it off and said he was sick. Was to get a call Monday. But never did. I made that call to office manager and she had no idea what happened. I'm over it.

Waiting for all my ins stuff to be transferred to my new doc. I'm so nervous I wait everyday for the phone to ring. Been a month now. Still waiting.

My doc was so nice and told me to let him and his office to the insurance and I was to breathe and take care of myself. It was 2 months before I was approved but well worth the wait. Your Guardian Angel was definitely watching over you and found you the correct doctor now. Be patient... All in the right timing.
