Okay,
I've been a bad trade person. I gathered all my tons of seeds, bagged, labeled them - offered them in trade - received trade but have not taken time to clean the seeds and get them out. I'm having surgery April 3 and will have nothing to do but work on these seeds - I won't be lifting or pulling - boob reduction in hopes my neck pain will go away and I can dig all day without having 2 black eyes - work with me here.....
Please dmail me what I owe you and what I our deal was......I promise you will get more than we originally traded for..............Sorry for the slow process. This was my first fall of really trading seeds. It's hard to clean those things. Regardless of the size - the collander just isn't the right size to get the seed and leave the 'stuff'.
So please - no new request - just ones I owe
Kathy
Who do I owe seeds to & what
Kathy,
I had the same surgery and I want to tell you that I am thrilled, been 7 years now. Good luck.
Kathy too
Wonderful ! I've not heard one thing bad about the surgery. I honestly thought about starting a thread about this topic. I'm only 38DD but sagging fat is just that - This doctor has great recommendations from even the Mamogram tech at the hospital. The only bad thing I've heard is itching at the site and many times it's because of the tape vs. stitches or the medicine - EVERYONE - my spelling is terrible - but I don't proof it - so excuse that. Perocets make you itch but I think this doc gives loratabs. Either way I don't normally do well with pain meds or muscle relaxers.
Thanks for the positive comment. Any dmails are welcome on this topic

Kathy - I am glad I am not the only one! Everyone thinks I am crazy for wanting a reduction. I am 29 and everyone my age is getting an "upsize" not the other way around! I am 5-8 155 and a 34DD almost 34DDD. I definitely need the procedure done since my neck and shoulders STAY sore all of the time. Plus, I am a police officer and my bullet proof vest is NOT made for a woman. There is no way to be comfortable.
My insurance has a clause stating that they do not pay for the procedure no matter what. Hopefully we will switch soon (I have no say in it, it's the city's decision). Maybe the new insurance will cover this procedure.
I'm glad I am not the only one : ) Jennifer
here is my email adress if you would like to email me about this I would be happy to chat with you.

Good luck on your surgery. I know how the black eyes go. I'm a 38G, I've been lucky so far. As long as I don't sit in a backless chair I am fine. Sure I have a bent spine but no back pain. Anyhow, when all is healed I think you are going to enjoy yourself. It's probably going to feel so odd and new. Even just a good deep breath will probably be more satisfying. I don't know about you, but painting my toes is a bit of an inconvenience. I'll bet you are surprised how many little things are easier. Anyhow, GOOD LUCK!!!
jlp222, isn't that BS? Your insurance provider wont cover reduction surgery, that will help you and your health, but most insurance providers cover atleast portions of prescriptions so a 90 year old man can get a blue pill. Hope your city makes a good choice!
guspuppy,
I'll email you.
I agree the insurance should cover it. Regardless of age, when you get older it will be worse since they really go south ! There is terrible back and neck pain for me and I can NOT imagine 38G. Woman you need to have this surgery. If your's haven't gone south yet they will.
The recovery time is short, no more than 2 weeks, some are only off 3 days. But no lifting for a few weeks. I'm sure the vest is really an issue. I'm 5'8, 165 pounds and normal sizes like 14 are fine, unless I want to button a blouse. I layer clothes and forget a sweater - won't wear one because then it looks like bowling balls.
I just realized this is a great thread and should go someone else - I bet tons would post. Not getting any seed info -
What do you think about a new thread?

this is the new thread for our boob discussion.
Kathy, that link doesn't go to a new discussion. Is tomorrow still the big day?
Yeah, Terry dmailed me that it was taking to many turns and she thought it best to delete the thread. It was fun while it lasted. My surgery is tomorrow at 6 a.m. and I need to sleep - it's 8:54 now but I'm not sleepy.. I will be at 5
You will love that surgery, best thing I ever did, good luck!
Kathy
You will be so happy with the results! Best of luck!
Hey, I'm up at 11:32 with swollen, but far smaller boobies. Going good but I was so 'morphined out' until about 10:00 that I couldn't walk to the bathroom without one eye closed. The pain so SMALL too. I'm amazed at the difference, my neck muscles are not tight - I noticed that soon after surgery even with the 'fog'. Lucky for me I had a friend who just had the surgery in Jan and would answer a few questions. She and I both itched after surgery - all over our body. Like when your back itches and you scratch one place, another one itches. Legs, back, hand, arm, etc.
The only complaint I have is the hospital terrible procedure for wrapping my boobs. I have inside stitches, glue and tape. They large gauze pads, a 1/4 inch foam (like you put in cushions) that's about 8x6 inches and then the problem - a ace bandage stuff like you put on sprains. When I got home the 2 were wrapped around me boobs and all the other stuff and had already started to shift in opposite directions. I took a nap (passed out) and when I woke up the first time we knew we had an issue. If I continued with that wrap I would have woken to one around my waist and one at my neck. They stretched out in that small amt of time. We took it off, had no other options, and boy what small girls I have. It's amazing! and understatement at best.
The itching drove me crazy so Toby called the office about 4:15 and talked with the nurse about the itch. Within minutes the doctor called back and I managed to talk with him through my fog. He said Bennidrill (can't spell that one) which normally keeps me awake (I'm opposite on most all drugs). Still I took it and only after it was time to take a Loratab was I able to stop itching. Don't know why I itch. I had to shower with Dial antibacterial before I left home at 5:30 a.m. for a 40 minute drive and in surgery at 7. three & 1/2 hrs for surgery. I was so buzzed I couldn't keep both eyes open at the same time, took Toby and 18 yr old to get me upstairs to bed. Good stuff.
I was amazed the doctor called and talked with me - vs. telling the nurse what to say. THEN the really amazing part was he called about in an hour or so to check on me.
Of course mom had to come out in the pouring rain and check out the new boobs (only 2 miles) but awful rains. She was amazed too. Bruises at the liposuction area under my arms but not much. I visit the nurses at his office tomorrow for a bra fitting and change of tape. Thank heavens.
Okay I'm going to copy and paste this to my 14 dmails and will get back with you tomorrow.
Take care,
Kathy
Kathy, I am SO glad to hear you made it through with no major problems! I am amazed that you can type, and do it well!
I really hope that everything goes smoothy for you.
Did the Morphine make you itch? I HATED it! It made me all red and itchy, but did not help with the pain. And I am the same way as you with Benadryl; it makes me itch and stay up too! Maybe you can ask your doctor for "Atarax". It is a prescription antihistamine that is very safe and even a mild sedative. I take it because I have dermatitis and it keeps me from getting itchy when I get hot or nervous. I don't see why he would have a problem prescribing it for you. It does not have the same effects of Benadryl, so maybe it would work for you.
I am SO glad you are fortunate enough to have this done.
Hugs, Jennifer
Thanks Jennifer - that's great to know about this drug. I feel wonderful. Actually, a paper cut hurts more than this. I'm stunned. The "pain" is more of a burning thing but nothing I can't live with and the nurses were pleased today when I went for my bra fitting. Won't know what size I am for about 2 months- max - until all swelling has gone down.
My neck muscles were immediately released from strain. I can't get over how wonderful it is. When others said these same things I just could not image it but if you are having neck, shoulder or back pain and have large boobs see you doctor. I also had pain or pressure I guess when I eat pizza, subs, things that have a cushion. At my last cleaning the dentist said it was muscular. Xrays were fine for teeth and gums. That also played a part. After talking to my GP and meeting with the boob doc and we discussed issues we knew the insurance would cover it - neck and should pain, rash under boobs in hot temps, rounded shoulders from the pull of the saggy boobs. Things I tried was massage at a local school of massage ($35 for 70 minutes), hot patches, bengay, those bags you microwave and put on your neck, over the counter meds, So I qualified for all the necessary things for insurance. I paid my co-payment and will have a few more bills from the lab, hospital (which I chose a surgical clinic vs. hospital and it's far cheaper and better service).
If you have any of these issues please - don't waste more good days - go check into it.
Well, my insurance has already said they do not do reductions surgery for any reason other than cancer related.
I am so glad you are feeling so good!
Glad to hear things went well and you are recovering:)
Did anyone else catch that youre email address above could be read as "implanting again" when I think it is actually "i'm planting again" LOL Sort of funny considering your reduction surgery. Just my weird sense of humor making itself known again:)
