Breast Reduction

So I had a really good appointment with the surgeon. As the title states, I'm getting a breast reduction & I'm very excited about it!! The surgeon seems very down to earth & knowledgeable. I have a 3-5 month wait for the actual surgery, I was hoping for the fall anyways as the kid's will be back in school & I won't have to worry about it being during vacation, though it would be nice to have had the surgery done yesterday!! The Doctor mentioned taking 5-6 pounds off my chest, which had me shocked, do I actually lug around that much weight? & no wonder my back hurts!! The Doctor mentioned a C/D & I mentioned a C would be nice & I'll mention that again & again on the day of surgery. I'm very excited!! He also mentioned to loose as much weight as I can before the surgery as if I lose it after, my breasts may get smaller. My goal is to hopefully get to goal by the surgery, which is very possible. Then when I lose the 5-6 pounds from my breasts I'll be below goal!! The one thing the surgeon mentioned was liposuction on the sides which is not covered by insurance & the cost is $2100 - $2500. I struggled with the idea on should I get it done but came to the conclusion that I'm not. I've never noticed my sides before until he mentioned it & I don't think having lipo on the sides will make my breasts better. I figure if it's never bothered me before why would it now! This way I'll also save some money. I'm still going to try posting each week about my weight loss for the week & I've started Another 10 lb Challenge. I'm done my contract on Friday so I'll be able to walk/run with my sister again in the mornings which I know will help my weight loss along. Soon I'll have small boobs, I can't even imagine it, it seems unreal...
