Hi All! I am new here. I am 39 and a mother of an 8 year old daughter and an almost 3 year old son. I have wanted a BR for YEARS. I am 5'3 and 40DDD.. Since I have had my son my breasts have gotten even saggier and my posture and back are paying the price. I went for a consult about 4 years ago and the insurance did not pay....very discouraging. I recently went to my new Dr for my well check up and told her about my back pain and she suggested that I try again, she was very surprised the insurance had denied me. I have a new insurance company now so I decided to give it a shot. She referred me to a PS here in Fort Worth and the consult was very exciting. He explained the procedure and what to expect...they submitted paper work to the insurance and in less than 3 weeks they called me telling me I was approved! (Last Monday) Now I am scheduled for surgery this Friday. All this happened in less than a month, my head is spinning. The great thing is I don't have to pay even 1.00 out of pocket. I have absolutely NO excuse not to get this done. I am a bit nervous, however. I guess it is normal.
My doctor told me in the consult that I would need about two
- Implants May Delay Breast Cancer Detection
- Why did you have your breast size altered? 1
- Do you wear a bra for support or for comfort 1
- How long did you have to take off work after your reduction? 1
- Has anyone had a breast lift? 2
- Dumb blonde jokes 2
- 5 ft 6 and 36DD- 36DDD 1
- Surgery for sagging breasts? 1
- Finding a doctor you can trust 2
- When did you consider a reduction? 1

SO glad to hear everyone say they have no regrets...I cannot wait to not have this back/neck/shoulder pain anymore and to be able to be more even more active. :)
Thanks! Melissa
How restricted have you been in what you could do?

Make sure and take it easy, don't overuse your arms, stretch or reach too high, life anything too heavy and try to get as much rest as you can. I can assume you didn't go back to work yet?

help. Today is day 4 post op and I feel sooo much better now. I am on only Tylenol and have finished my antibiotic. Since the surgery I have been sleeping in the recliner and it has worked out pretty well. Today I was able to take a nap in my bed which felt so good so I will start sleeping there again tomorrow. Tomorrow my MIL leaves and goes back home as well as my mom so it will get fun then...I feel ready, though. I was able to take a bath today which felt great but I can't shower until after my appt on Thurs.
Nancy, thanks so much for your welcome and encouraging words! I am so happy that I was able to get this done, I have wanted and needed it for so long. I have already peeked at the new girls by peeking down my dressing...can't believe how high the nipples are! I am so excited! I was thinking they were still so big but I felt just how much gauze I have and there is a ton.... I think the size is going to be just perfect! I will definitely let you know how the full reveal goes. My hubby will be going with me to the appt. I think he may be more excited than I am lol. Tomorrow I have an appt with my hairdresser to get my hair washed and a blow out...that way I will be ready for work onThurs and don't have to worry about doing my hair for a couple days. My appt Thurs is at 9 and I plan on going to work after the appt and Friday. We will see if I make it through the day or have to leave early...will let you all know. I am definitely taking it easy and not doing anything strenuous...being very cautious. Hope you have a great night!
Also glad to hear your hubby is excited about this!!! Mine was too but was unable to go with me to the unveiling. So was he ever surprised when he got his first look at home without distractions. He could see how happy I was with the results and now he says more than a handful is a waist and has not once flinched at the cost of my Victoria Secrets bra collection!! LOL!
Lucky you, able to sleep in your bed so soon. I think I was just scared to, since I am a side sleeper. Sure is nice when you finally can though!!
Stay in touch and keep us updated on your progress!
Nancy :)
I appreciate your updates so much!
