Hoping for Smaller Boobies! - Chattanooga, TN

I have wanted smaller breasts for as long as I remember. Even when I was very thin, I was a D cup. I have put on weight since childbirth 7 years ago and also from quitting smoking 3 1/2 years ago. I am now approximately a 42DDD and even at 5'10, that is too big. I have chronic back and neck pain and occasionally I get skin rashes as well. I had my consultation 9/12/12 and was denied by Aetna bc the holy Schnur scale says I need 1000 g per breast to be medically necessary. I am writing a letter of appeal. The doctor only wants to take 750 g and says 1000 is way too much for my frame and I would be unhappy. I'm disappointed but still hopeful.

So instead of mailing my appeal today, I stopped by the chiropractor and got an adjustment. I'm going to start going again so I can get a letter from him to send with my appeal. The adjustment felt good but never for long.
