I went for a consult yesterday with a plastic surgeon.
Unfortunately, even though the DR recommends I have the surgery, my insurance company won't pay for it.

Anyone had the surgery?
Anything you can tell me about it?
Is it true you could go without a bra for the rest of your life afterwards?

I went to see a plastic surgeon about 3 weeks ago, and all indications are there for me to have the procedure too. Things are very different here in Australia with insurance, though. I could have the operation as a public patient for free, but the waiting list is anything from 1 year to 6 years, being a low priority operation. I've joined a private health fund so I don't have to wait more than one year, but I will have to pay around AUS$5000 (it would be AUS$10,000 with no cover at all and no waiting).

There are a couple of other girls on the org who have done it and wish they had done it earlier, being so happy with the result. I will get it done early 2006, so I'll tell you all about it then!

I want to be a C-cup and stand up straight.

i would have it done if i wasn't scared shitless about surgery in general...

Hmmm...interesting!

I really shouldn't, but I will give a secind opinion if you like.

However, you'd have to send me some photographs first.

What's your address, Dr? Wallet sized or poster prints?

Excellent, now you'll need to tell me what colour underwear you are wearing. It may not seem important but trust me, from a medical point of view, this info is vital.

Can orgnotes handle attachments?

I take it I won't be receiving your photos then.

I tried, but the attachments were way too big (they bounced right back!)

Glad everyone is having so much fun with my serious medical condition.

my shoulders have been giving me a lot more trouble recently

Fleshofmyflesh said:

Sorry
I am 34L, if I don't make light of it I will cry.

charlottegelin said:

What ?????
I had no idea there was an L.
I can't imagine.

I get a horrible sensation at night like ants crawling under my skin, which alternates with burning between my shoulder blades, I have to sleep with a hot water bottle most nights.

charlottegelin said:

at least i have the frame to carry them... a band size larger and a couple cups smaller. wouldn't it be nice to be able to go into a regular store to buy our bras? and not pay an arm and a leg for them?

Fleshofmyflesh said:

This why I got struck off in the first place.

Fleshofmyflesh said:

The surgeon said they would take off about 1.5kg per breast to get me down to a C-cup.

I would be wearing a 32M if there was such a thing, but I have to suffer an ill-fitting bra which causes me constant discomfort. I get my bras from the UK over the internet (www.bravissimo.com - check it out, they have some really nice stuff), Australian stores do not cater for unusual sizes, population too small for it to be profitable, I guess.

charlottegelin said:

Keep trying!

Fleshofmyflesh said:

I'm a double L! Just kidding, If your doctor recommends you have the surgery, why wont your insurance company pay for it?

emm said:

It is a dream of mine, and I will redraw on our mortgage to make it a reality. Ahh, a bikini, just imagine... I am lucky to have moral support from all my family.

doctormcmeekle said:

No! I will get 2 black eyes!

Meekle just wants reassurance that your boobs are not bigger than his. He's very competitive in that respect. He once won a pie for having the largest boobs in his village. He's ruthless and wants to hold on to his pie.
