Surgery Approved so nervous

 I am approved for a breast reduction and lift on Monday (just found out it's approved).  I am so much more nervous about this one than I was about the weight loss surgery.  I feel like this is a detour from the path I"ve been on (one of heavy exercise) but I also know it's one I need to have a healthier life.  

I realize in the long run having the surgery after I reached goal would be preferable but we already know my insurance won't cover it then and I decided I'd rather have smaller saggy breasts than bigger ones!

Here's to a quick recovery and no complications.  I want to be back running in 4 weeks!

Fantastic news for you. Keep me posted as my paperwork for surgery has two different headings as it had been postponed, Mastopexy and Breast Reduction.
I too am nervous but only get really nervous once I am in hospital. My pre-op is next Th and my Op is 1 August.

You will do great don't worry! I think running in 4 weeks seems very realistic, best of luck!!

Did you have problems getting this approved? I have been trying to get mine approved and it was denied 3 times. My Dr's just don't understand this and neither do I. I have BCBS insurance

 We didn't think it was going to be approved.  They called for further corroboration and I didn't really have any.  I don't go to the dr. every time I get a rash, and honestly until I started exercising and being more active they weren't causing me any pain.  But I had gone to a physical therapist in 2009 for back pain so I sorta crossed my fingers and hoped and they approved it.  Yesterday (Friday) with my surgery being on Monday!

Congrats!!!! You are so lucky!!!! You are going to have to take a little bit of time off but i can't imagine running will be even easier when you get some of the pressure of your back. 

I found when I had my TT, that it was very difficult for me - emotionally.  I think this is quite normal - but you need to figure out how to deal with it.  Mine was the drain issue...

I realized that PS is a voluntary surgery.  You go through "do I really need to do it, etc".  I actually have a blog about it.  It effected me that much.  When I had my BL/BA I at least knew what to expect.

Good luck to a quick and uneventful surgery.    I don't regret it for a minute and would even consider doing more PS.
