I didn't reach I called the doctor.My family doctor referred me to a reconstructive/plastic surgeon and after the being measured, assessed and documented the paperwork went into the Ontario government health plan to see if I qualified for breast reduction.
After 18 months ( the typical wait is 2 years ) I have full approval and will be going into hospital on Tuesday, September 1st for my surgery.
I won't end up with a perky 18 year old set but I will be able to buy less industrial size/expensive bras, I should start enjoying summers without sweat rashes and I am looking forward to the weight off my shoulders.
I'm a little scared and a little excited.

Oh Elizabeth,
Best wishes with your time in the hospital and your recovery! It sounds like you are well prepared, though I would move chocolate up the list a bit. I hope when you can move enough to type you will let us know how you are doing. My good thoughts and concerns go with you.
Wow, best wishes! I have a friend who had that done. Recovery took a while but she is SO happy with the results. I went with her to buy her first ever set of bra and panties that was pretty. Take it easy, don't overdo it, and don't mistake feeling better for being able to lift a basket of laundry. And remember, blogs are for whining when you need to, right? Right.
