Asked By:jmc12345 in British Columbia, BC

Hello, I have a lot of loose skin on my breasts due to breastfeeding and weightloss. I was wondering if the weight of the skin removed counts as part of the total weight required by the insurance. I'm 30yo, 200 lbs, 5'7" mother of 1, wear 40 DDD cup and I'm on wait list to get assessed for breast reduction here in Canada. I've waited all my life for this and I'm really nervous that I won't qualify. Thanks in advance
