Today is the big day. I am very nervous, happy, scared all at one time. I love working out, but have to wear 2 sports bras when I do. The indentations on my shoulders hurt and my lower back has started to hurt more lately. Thank god after going to many private plastic surgeons, one suggested that I could possibly have my insurance pick it up. After speaking to my primary health care physician, I was approved 3 weeks later. I have to have my procedure in the main hospital and main OR. That's a requirement by blue cross and blue shield. I also have to stay overnight as well. I paid 1600.00 out of pocket, which makes the total price 21,000.

Omg goodness it was suppose to be 2 hour surgery, but it was closer to 6. I had alot of tissue to remove. Got reduce to a full C hopefully. They gave me so much nausea medicine that I feel good in recovery. I needed some morphine, but now since I ate crackers I feel much better. My. Doctor came to check in on me, but one big blur lol. Mt husband has been right by my side. He miss my biggest boobs, but he understands why I needed the procedure.
