Do I Qualify for Free Breast Reduction and Brachioplasty?
I Currently have breast implants DD, weight over 170 lbs and my height is 5'3. I was enjoying my student life until the day of my pedestrian accident on March 2011. Now I have tremendous problems in my back that cannot continue. MRI says that I have herniated discs, bulging discs in my neck, pain with left leg since my nerve is being pinched by the hernias. I can't handle this situation any longer and need to remove weight to help my back. What should I do? I have no money I'm just a student.
