I don't know if I've ever told you all about my insecurities about my boobs, but here goes nothing.
I started my period at a very younng age. I was only in fourth grade. By the time I started middle school I learned that Ihad crazy bad periods and the doctor found out that I had endometreosis. In order to make my periods fall on weekends so that I could go to school and also to try to keep the pain down some the doctor put me on birth control. I was so young and already having to learn about birth conrol. Throughout middle school and highschool I was on birth control, had a laproscopic surgery to scrape my ovaries and remove scar tissue from endometreosis along with a cyst, and then even was put on Lupron shots (which apparently shut down my ovaries to make it seem like I was going through menopause..crazy). However none of this is supposed to affect the chances of me ever having children and the doctor said he believes that when I get married that I will have no problem getting pregnant. However, all of this took havick on my poor dear boobs. I always knew that I had two different sized boobs and had heard it was normal. I told my mom and family members and was highly worried about it. They said they didn't think I had anything to worry about because most women have two different sized breasts. What nobody noticed, was how different my two different sized breasts are. I thought I was normal as well until one day I went to a different OBGYN and the lady informed me that it was not normal and embarrassed me really bad talking about the different sizes. She embarrassed me so much that I am scared to even wear a bathing suit and I even catch myself checking how they look in the mirror in certain shirts to make sure you can't tell. I however knew that I couln't afford a boob job to fix this, however this morning while watching the Hoda and Kathy Lee show the plastic surgeon said that if a woman did not devolope right throughout puberty and had a noticeable change in breast size then insurance should cover it to get fixxed.
I have no clue whether I should go through with it or look into it..what do you think?

You have to live with your own body. I think that if you're not comfortable with something then you should get it fixed if possible. Don't do it for anyone else besides yourself.
I actually saw Tamara Mowry on E! talking about how she has endometreosis (sp?) and is currently preggo!
i actually have breast implants, but if i could go back in time i would have thought it through more.i went through a very difficult situation a few years ago and my self-esteem hit an all time low.I chose to have the surgery in hopes that it would elevate my confidence, but that wasn't the case, I had to find that within myself.
Of course, the surgery itself wasn't all that negative, I had a very short recovery time and over all, I'm very happy with the results. & your situation is completely different than mine, your reasonings for wanting the surgery are legitimate. If this is something that will raise your confidence, then, by all means consider having the surgery. I don't think you would have any trouble with insurance helping with the cost, but you will more than likely have to pay a percentage of it out of pocket as your co-pay.
Good luck making this decision.I know that you'll be happy with whatever you decide to do, you are the only one who knows what's best for you : )

This is so interesting- my best friend from high school has endometrosis. We found out in college when we were living together and as you know, it was so awful to go through. The billion different birth controls, surgeries, heavy periods... not fun at all!
I think you should do whatever makes you happy :) Hang in there lady.
