What do I do about my breast reduction being denied when I so clearly need it?

MarinaY15
I have a 34 band size and i'm a K cup. I'm in so much pain, I can't breathe or sleep properly, my chest is numb, can't sit up straight or move right, I can't participate in life. Insurance didn't give a reason. The surgeon said she'd take around three pounds from each boob, so that meets the removal requirements - they've also rejected all my appeals without a reason. We have Anthem BCBS. I can't pay the 30k out of pocket - that's a whole year of college tuition, but I need this. Thank you
