Life on the other side! Surgery was 8/17/13

Hi everyone!!!
Ok so I'll get right too it...I've been considering a breast reduction for quite sometime now..I'd say its been about 3 years. I've always had bigger boobs than everyone I was around. I started noticing that my boobs were huge when I was in 7th grade : /

Well I went to my primary doctor's office in January complaining of back and neck problems. I would take aspirin almost everyday to alleviate the pain she said that was no good and gave me a prescription for pain and after seeing the bruises on my shoulders from my bra she also recommend a breast reduction. She sent me off to get some lab work and some x-rays done. Fast forward to April 9th, 2013 I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon. He was very nice and it was very quick. He took a look at my boobs and measured them and also took pictures for insurance purposes. I am looking to get this covered by united healthcare. I asked him during the consultation if my primary care doctor needed to write a letter (when I had my appointment with my Primary doc she said she would write up whatever she needed bc she felt this was best for me) to my insurance and he said no he's more than sure it will get approved so that REALLY excited me. He said that he's looking to take me down to a small D or a large C :))))) (I am a 38 G right now) I'm get so excited just thinking about it. No one understands unless they have big boobs as well...going to the gym SUCKS...I have to wear 2 bras just so I can run! I CANNOT wait for them to be GONE FOR GOOD!!!

So now i'm pretty much just playing the waiting game hoping to hear back from the insurance ASAP!!! To kill time I'm pretty much on this website EVERY DAY! It's getting pretty obsessive lol I'm learning soooo much on here! Kind of nervous about the scars but almost every post I've looked at has said it's TOTALLY worth it. Well i'm gonna try to upload some pics and I'll keep you guys updated on my progress.

Well you guys...I'm still playing the waiting game which really sucks and getting on here everyday makes me even more anxious lol I've seen some people say United Healthcare takes a while and then some say that it only takes a couple weeks. I had my consultation on April 9th so I guess it hasn't been that long and I need to get a little more patience. I called the insurance company yesterday and they told me that my case was still pending : / I'll keep you guys updated!!

:(((((((
I FINALLY heard some news today in reguards to getting approved for my surgery. I called my plastic surgeons office to see if they had heard anything and they told me I was denied!!!!! Worst news ever!
I'm kinda ticked off for a couple of reasons.

#1- WHY did I have to call the surgeons office to find that out?? They should have called me the second they got word!!!

#2- So of course I called the insuance company to see why I got denied and when I found out why it made me even MORE frustrated!!! I got denied because the surgeons office did not add in the letter the things that I am unable to do due to my large breast and that is one of the requirements for my insurance!!!!! How could they leave that out???? I'm so mad the lady I was speaking with was really helpful and she said that that was the only reason I was denied and that I should file an appeal and have them include the list and everything should be fine from there. That kind of gave me a little bit of relief but STILL!!! UGHHH now they have set me back at least another month. : /

Ok I'm done ranting because God has been far too good to me for me to be pounting about this when all its gonna take is a little extra time! lol Besides I wont be able to have my surgery until July or August because I have a couple trips planned. (Trying to be postitve lol) As soon as the surgeons office gets the denial letter she said she is going to do the appeal and send off what they need! Well I hope you guys are having a great day!!!

P.S. How could they forget to add that in my letter??? Geeezzzzzz!!!!
