No Insurance for Breast Reduction...now What?
i am 4'7" 220lbs (currently trying to lose 60 lbs). i am a size 46L. my back hurts and is out of alignment, i can't sleep on my back because my breasts cut off my air supply. they are so big i cant lift them to see the bottom and get rid of pimples myself, my fiancee does that. they rub together and chaff really bad. my bras keep breaking. My doctor wants me to get insurance to get a reduction but i have been denied for medicaid. i have no idea what to do. but something has to give.
