breast reduction questions



Recommended Posts

I agree, wow. Some of them looked like they were "relieved" of the extremely large hanging breasts, but some of the afters looked absolutely FRIGHTENING! I couldn't imagine.

I was a 42DD before banding and I am a 38 large C/Small D now. I still say wait and see when you are close to goal.

thanks for all of your stories....i am out of town right now till the end of march, but my doc office called and said they could schedule for surgery for april 3rd....i have already been approved by the insurance company.

i think i need a bit of time to think about this.....i did not think it would be approved so quickly!!!

thanks again for all your stories...i will probably have more questions later : )

If you change your mind and go ahead with it on the 3rd, Maggie, we'll be ps buddies lol, as my tummy tuck/breast reduction is scheduled for that day :)

paula-how could you do that to me (lol) some of those pictures are hideous.....i would be sick if they made mine look worse rather than better.

i look a bit like #105 or #110 (not quite that bad) now, so i really need to do something. even when i was thin my breasts were saggy. it has caused me many problems over my life.

yea jess...we can support one another!! i do not like going under again...the loss of control makes me very bery uncomfortable!!

thanks for all your great advice guys. i did make my surgeon show me before and after pics of his work....they looked great (but who knows if he got them off the interent or what) : )

i will let you know what i decide to do....(okay, i can't get some of the those pics out of my mind...paula i am calling you if i can't sleep tonight : ) hehe

      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.
