Asked By:Jade38 in Key West, FL

 I’m 38 mom of 3. I’m overweight currently enrolled in Grad school and gained about 30 pounds. My breast are painful and it’s hard to sleep laying flat. I have pain in my neck and back. My shoulders hurt and feel stiff. I want to know if my family Dr. will require l loose weight before having breast reduction surgery. Honestly I’m ashamed to go to her office I’ve never been overweight. I gained more after my last appointment. I’m 5’5, weight 160 age 38.
