So here I am on my journey towards my breast...
So here I am on my journey towards my breast reduction. I have already had a consultation with a surgeon he took pics sent them in and I have been approved by my insurance(Tricare), but I'm really uncomfortable with the surgeon I have seen. The pictures he had shown me were horrendous! All of the women nipples had lost their color. I know this is a risk but he couldn't show me any pictures of women he worked on that it didn't happen to. Coincidence maybe, but I highly doubt. So therefore I opted out and have decided to take my chances with another surgeon. Thankfully I have my new consultation coming up on 11/17 and I'm extremely nervous. I'm afraid I might not get approved this time around, because each doctor is different. I'm a 38D, 5'5, and 133lbs,about 20 of those lbs are in my boobs!, meaning I am really frail. So I need some boobs to fit my lil frame because believe me these juggers are definitely weighing me down, and it is a constant mental and physical challenge everyday. People kept saying I would not get approved cause the last doc said he was only requesting 100 grams yes 100 not 1000 to bring me to a C cup and surely enough Tricare APPROVED it in 2 days!, so I'm hoping things go as smoothly with this new surgeon as it did with the last. So ladies don't get discouraged about what people say can't be done, I solely believe insurance go by each individual by size. I felt like jumping on the oppurtunity that they had actually approved but my heart said don't go with a surgeon you will regret have going to in the future. Therefore I am being patient and taking my time. I will be back soon to let you guys know how the consultation was and what is next for me.
