Continuing My Journey
Breast reduction is scheduled for Sept 9! Tummy tuck was 7 weeks ago. Follow my journey @ kiwi111. I have responded below so you can just click on my name. = D
Ready, Set, Here I Go.... Again!
It has been 7 months since my BR surgery was cancelled at the last minute because my PS suddenly said, after my pre-op visit, he could not remove the required tissue for insurance coverage! I went bra shopping the other day and the disappointment came flooding back. I should be purchasing lovely, smaller bras and looking and feeling great in my bathing suit this summer. Instead, I have gained 13 lbs and have started taking Lyrica for my neck pain! So I decided I would take on the monthly payments and pay for it myself. I am so excited all over again! I am trying to keep my feelings neutral after having my surgery cancelled 12 days before surgery last September but I can't help it...here I go again! It's practically every other thought! I have a consultation on April 23 with a new PS and another on May 14 with another PS. I can hardly wait! It seems crazy to me to be excited about having part of my body removed, but I am! Take it away please!!! Oh, and by the way, I am having a tummy tuck consult at the same time! I don't think I can afford it but I want a price quote just in case. I also take a blood thinner and I need to check this out with my primary (which I didn't do last September)?? Most important is the BR!!! Thanks for taking the time to read my review! I appreciate all of the support I receive here! = )
Post Pity Party
I ended up cancelling the surgery. I feel like I've been kicked in the gut. After crying and having a pity party for 4 days, I realized I need a second opinion. And maybe a third and fourth. I wouldn't want the original PS to do my surgery at this point because I think my whole situation was handled very poorly with very little regard for my feelings. I have an appointment with a new PS on September 23rd. I can't even believe I am starting over from scratch. I have looked at so many reductions and how many grams were removed trying to figure out if I can meet the 482 gm insurance requirement. I don't think I can. My breasts are large but not very dense, it seems. I may end up smaller than I would want. I am already saving the money for self-pay because I think that's how it will end up but I refuse to take a loan. I don't want this to turn into a bill. My neck is in constant pain but apparently a "one size fits all" insurance scale will decide if I need a reduction for medical reasons. It goes by height and weight but every one of us is shaped differently even if we are the same exact height and weight. Sorry to be a downer. I hope to have a better update after my appointment with the new PS. Chin up, right?
Provider Review
I would not recommend Dr Kreithen if you are hoping to use insurance to cover your reduction.
