I should have asked sooner...

My insurance approved me for a breast reduction. No problem. First request. I'm still MO. Actually, I'm MO again. This is not about weight loss or goals or anything except bigger than necessary boobs. Hmmm.

I had my boobs reduced in 1984, I had the excess put on ice so when they figure out how to do male extensions my DH would already have donated tissue.

Who'd ever thought they'd come back, but at least they're where they're suppose to be instead of around my waist.

I am absolutely going to have a reduction done after I've lost my weight. I actually had a friend's teenager (daughter) ask me if I used to be in porn. I wasn't quite sure how to take that...

Yeah, I have dreams of being a D cup... While I was breast feeding my son, my dear supportive mother told me I looked like a circus freak...

Greg,

Your weight is falling off even from the last time I talked to you. What is your secret? And what is an average day of eating for you? Give me an example, please! Thanks

Big boobs are a bummer. I am checking out a reduction right now. I've got Aetna and I tried with them in 1997 and 2000 and got turned down both times. Their answer was loose weight...Well, my answer is I am loosing weight and this time I will even lie about what I weigh. My shoulders feel like they are holding up 2 watermelons and I am in pain 23/7 and have been for years. My doc said to get it done now and he will through in a lift. They surely won't do it when I am thin.

Greg,

You have definitely been on a roll in this thread. And I had pegged you for a nice reserved man. What happend to him, where did he go??? Ok ladies, dont tell me he's really Dr. Heckle and Mr. Tide.

I would suppose that Dr. Heckle was out this go round. And when the clean Greg returns he's Mr. Tide. He is quite the comedian. Did you all look at the card he sent us. Hilarious!!!!

See there I told you all Greg is having another one of his moments!!!LOL!!!

Greg, please dont wear that to church no one elses prayer will be answered cause they'll all be praying for you!!!!

I am totally going to get a tummy tuck if after I lose the weight-"the apron" is down to my knees. I will even go as far as to run naked in poisen ivy so I get rashes to prove I need it!!!! ;>)

Are you still scheduled for PS? Is it tomorrow?

Wishing you the best and my thoughts are with you.

My PS was the 10th. I was a problem for the intubation part and they almost cancelled surgery. But, finally, after an hour and a half and two anesthesiologists, they did it.

My mouth and throat are sore. I have an On-Q pain pump in the belly and nothing else for pain, so far. In other words, I've had two and half pounds of boob hacked off and I haven't even needed a Tylenol. Amazing.
