WORTH IT

I've considered this procedure since I was 14. Started discussing it with my PCP and came close to starting the process through medicaid but our family moved, my dad didn't agree, and by the time I was able to make the decision for myself I was grown with no medical insurance =(. I cried myself to sleep for a week.

Now thanks to the "Goldcard" I have the opportunity to get the help I've wanted since I was 14. I go in for I'm guessing a pre-op consultation, I received my approval letter a week or two ago!! I was so excited....and relieved in a sense. I just pray that everything goes smoothly when surgery time comes. I haven't received my actual BR appointment yet but I'm hoping I can schedule that right after the consultation. I'm excited and just patiently looking forward to my surgery date.

I have ideas about what size I'd like to be, but I'll wait until I see the doctor to be sure which size I'll go with. I'll keep you all posted as I find out more! God Bless

Please give me information about this "gold card" I am in the exact same boat. I have been top heavy since middle school and now I can no longer do it. However insurance is running out and I don't know what other choices I have.

I believe it's local but I can try to look some more information up. I'm in Texas and I got it through our local county health services. Until I can find more info maybe you can ask if where you are offers a service like the gold card. Where are you if you don't mind? I'm sorry if this didn't really help.

I'm looking at DC's d.o.h. and I don't really know what to look for I was looking for public health care benefits because that's what we call it in Texas. Please let me know what you find out.

Gm ladies :)!!! I went to my first consultation yesterday and was tentatively scheduled for surgery on Feb 11th! A month away, now the PS had to let me know during the consultation that it's not guaranteed that I'll be seen that day because it's an elective surgery and the hospitals trauma and emergency patients are priority. I'm still excited that it's possible that they'll try to get me within the month =D. I have to wait on "The Call" for my exact date of surgery. The PS said he's going to try to get me down to a C cup, I sure hope he can. He measured me, then he took pictures and then the consultation was over. I went well to me, I'll keep you all posted!!! TTYL :)
