Oh no! Just what you dont want to happen when you are shopping for bras at WalMart. Hope you are feeling better and less anxiuos. I had a little panic attack in bed the other night, wondering if I am doing the right thing. Luckily the feeling passed by morning. Of course that was right after I had to adjust the girls into my bra so they faced the same direction!...doesn't take much to remind me :-)

Hi, It must feel likes it's really happening now that you have had the pre-op. My pre-op is in 4 days and I can't believe it's so close! I'm starting to get really nervous now but not about the things I thought I would. I'm starting to feel better about the anesthesia (for now anyway) and now worrying about the recovery. Well... we are almost there!! :-)

Does'nt that just drive you crazy? I never understood why clothing companies don't make tops with breast size in mind. I buy tops too big for me and end up looking like a tent..ugh. Good that you are going to two surgeons, fingers crossed! :-)

Hi, I think it all depends on the insurance company and the surgeon. I did not have visits to chiropractors or therapists. My back and neck pain was something I thought I had to live with. I had mentioned to my previous primary that I was considering a reduction but it never went anywhere. I finally got sao tired of it and toald my current primary that I wanted to look into it. She set up an appointment with surgeon the following week (in March). The surgeon told me that he didnt think it would be a problem getting coverage (but did say its hit or miss with them) and that it takes around four weeks to find out. I got the call four weeks and 1 day later that I was approved. This was in April and they wanted to set up surgery for May but I couldnt so took a June appt instead.
I could tell just by talking to my PS that he knew how to work with the insurance companies and I think that is important...I really was so nervious because I didnt think I would get approval. It didnt hurt that I had a bad rash when they took the photos! :-) I also had two biopsies last year with benign lumps in my breast so that may have helped my case too. With the years of going to a pain doctor I would think you would have a good chance :-) Good luck and keep us posted!

Hi shelly, You must be so excited. I hope you are able to relax some while you wait for next week. If I don't hear from you good luck with the surgery and best wishes for healing!... let us know how everything is going. :-)
