Breast reduction/ lift ???



Recommended Posts

I have given birth to 5 children and have weighed as much as 250#. I have very long breast and they are a full DD. I get the worst rash under my breast. My insurance will cover a reduction. My dr. said he will do a lift and a little lippo on the side of breast, because of extra skin. I am very fortunate to have this all at no cost to me. But after pre-op appt. I am scarred to death! I had gall blatter removed 2/28 lap band 4/29 and all the test leading up to the Lap Band. I am kinda sick of surgery. I had a hard time after

gall blatter, but Lap Band has been great. I can not delay breast surgery because my insurrance will only cover as long as 1000 cc are removed. If I wait they will be to small. I would really appreciate any comments and would love to hear your experience. Recovery?? Pain?? Are you happy with your results??

I had a breat reduction on 22nd April - I had no pain at all - I am VERY happy with the results - At the same time I had a Brachioplasty - No pain at all - The worst bit of the whole thing was the 2minutes to remove the drains that was a bit ouchy...

I am so very very happy I did this! I was a G cup and now I am a B-C cup

I had a reduction 8 weeks ago and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Pain was not much at all. And the whole recovery was a piece of cake (low fat). I went from a DD to a C cup. My insurance also had an specified amount to be taken out which my Dr. didn't agree with, but I think he did it anyway. I think it was 700 grams each. I have about 30 pounds to lose but have not seen the scale move much in the past year...not minding my band business. But I would still advocate for the BR. It is great.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
