Hello. I am 5'10", 195lbs and currently measuring 34" rib cage and 42-43" at the fullest part of my bust (somewhere DDD-F?In the last 18 months or so I have lost almost 70 pounds. I do have excess tissue and volume. At consult, surgeon told the nurse to submit to insurance for 600 grams. Ins. sent a pre-authorization approval. My question is - if during surgery, the surgeon finds that he cannot remove 600 grams - what happens to the insurance approval? Is it revoked and I am stuck w/bill?
