surgery in 46 hours

7-9-05 I have been meaning to get caught up, but couldn't seem to find the time. I am having a breast reduction, & an abdominoplasty revision done on Mon. 7-11-05, at 7:30 AM. I will be staying overnight at Harbor Hospital in Baltimore. The surgery is scheduled to last 8 hours! I have been very concerned about what would be the 'right' cup size for me. I started this journey out wearing a 48F. Now, I wear a 38F. My surgeon & I have discussed my desired out come at great lengths. I want to remain a full C to a D. I can't imagine being smaller then a full C, for myself. However, the main reason that I am paying $9200.00 (out of pocket) for this procedure, is because my backs hurts me so badly, constantly. I tried to get ins to pay. They would only pay if I had 5 lbs of breast tissue removed. My surgeon said that would make me a B cup! I appealed their decision & was denied, again. So, here I am having it done self pay. Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & may God continue to bless us, all. Hugs, Karen
