Hi Ladies,
I am to the point I can't take the pain anymore!! I need a breast reduction SO BADLY. I have always had big breasts, always. All 4 of my aunties have/had over excessive breasts, and both my sisters have had breast reductions. I am hurting; my back, shoulders, neck, arms. I don't like my breasts to 'sag' so keeping them lifted up is WORK!
I went to the Dr. Friday and I didn't get a chance to see my primary Dr, I saw a NP. Well, when she saw my breasts she immediately sent over an request referral for my breasts. Yaaaa!!! I have Insurance through the State of Texas (a medical Gold Card) and because a breast reduction is an elective surgery, I have to go before the Board then they will let me know if I'm approved. I was told they would contact me within 7 to 10 business days. (I'm PRAYING I HEAR FROM THEM)
So I'm waiting, still dealing with the pain in my back, arms, shoulders, neck. I will keep you all posted when I hear something. If it's not approved, I'm going to consider another option. (maybe a loan). Something will work out!
Pray with me....thanks Ladies.

I'm praying it get approved. Even if it don't, I'm going to get it done some way. I'm in pain right now; my back and shoulders; I was looking at myself today at work, and my breasts are so big.... I can imagine what my co-workers think. I just started a new job today.

Don't worry about about what your co workers are thinking, just worry about doing whats best for you and your health. That back, neck, and shoulder pain is no joke. I know what you're going through believe me. I am 3 week post op tomorrow and I do not regret a thing. I was scared and nervous at first, but when i looked in the mirror and constantly has to tAke motrin my pain I said enough is enough! My insurance approved it and I did it! Im so hAppy girl. You will get approved too, just keep praying and have patience. :)

Thank you!! I sure will : ) even if the insurance don't approve it, I'm going to get it done. I can keep to get approval being that it's through the State. I'll just try back later. Thanks for the encouraging words.....

Thank you again for your post (about not worrying what my coworkers say)...... I need to read that because my breasts are so big compared to my body........Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

I'll say a prayer for you. My "Hallelujah" day is in less than 12 hours and it has been long overdue. Best of luck and keep us posted!

GM. May God be with you this morning during your surgery, guide the surgeon hands and you to have a speedy recovery. Keep us posted!! : )

Thank you so much. Everything went very well. The surgeon took off 5lbs; 2.5lbs per breast. In a little pain but overall, things are good and most importantly, NO back pain!
March 20, 2014
I hope you can get the surgery, you absolutely need it. I have also been suffering from big breast and I understand your pain, I can totally sympathize for you. In my opinion, judging your size, I think they will give it to you.
March 21, 2014
I pray they do!! I got the call today for the consultation. I'm going to plead my case and go from there. God knows I need this surgery! Thanks for understanding. 1 month to go then I should be on my way to not hurting anymore. YESSSS!!!

Or did you lose sensation ? I see you recommended good surgeons which doctor would be your number one recommendation ?

I GOT THE CALL TODAY!! Friday, March 21st!! PRAISE GOD!! I am scheduled for my consultation April 22!! I know it's a month away, but I just THANK GOD they called!! I just started a new job this Wed, so I'm going to talk with my boss and explain things to her. Prayerfully by the time I am scheduled for the surgery I'll be trained enough to work from home :-) If not, I'll just have to take the 2 weeks off without pay. I'll survive! God will work this out in my favor, He ALWAYS DOES.... just so thankful He allowed them to call.
Dr. Christi Blakkolb is who I will be seeing. I'm online now doing research on her. I pray I read nothing but wonderful things about her and her work.
I'm so excited ladies. I want to thank each and everyone of you who has been emailing me encouraging me. I am getting closer and closer to my "NEW GIRLS".... looking forward to the consultation. Prayerfully I will be approved and the surgery will be scheduled. I heard it's kind of a "you get a call one day" saying the surgery is on this day type thing. However it is, things will work out.
I'll keep you all posted and thanks again for all the luv!!

Yessss!! I sure am. And when I see the surgeon, I'm going to lean forward and girl show then my deep grooves in my shoulders. Lord, help all of us waiting on insurance answers to get help from pain. We want to feel and look better.

Hello I'm 24 years old I've had scoliosis surgery 11 years ago when I was 14. I'm trying to figure out how to do it through the gold card. What all exactly did you do to get to a breast doctor through the gold card and approval?
