The Buddy

One of the most exciting aspects of this process is the fact that I have a friend doing it WITH me! It was amazing the way it worked out. We were supposed to get together for dinner just to catch up and when I shared my intent to go through with this surgery I found out that this was something that she had been thinking about for a while too. We spent the next two hours talking about boobs. It was awesome. We're going for our next consultation together (not the one I have on the 26th, but one after) and we're pretty sure that that last doctor we see will be the one we go through this surgery with. He comes highly recommended by a good friend, who had the breast reduction a few years ago, and her doctor.

This doctor actually guarenteed our friend who has already been through this that she would be able to breastfeed. He also keeps the patients over night at his own expense so he can make sure they're totally OK (all the other doctors perform is as an "outpatient surgery" - which means I have my surgery and go home the same day). I haven't met this doctor and I already feel much more confident in him than I do with the others.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my excitement over my Bye Bye Boobies buddy. She may be a contributor to this blog so look out for some posts from here as well.
