WORTH IT
I found an insurance plan in January 2023 that COVERED breast reduction surgery--alleluia!!! At 63 yrs. old, I was concerned that it might be "too late" for me. I had 2 children in my early and mid-forties and time marched on, rapidly...when I began investigating breast reduction surgery years ago, I hit wall after wall. It was quite expensive and I was also still very busy with my kids.
Last year, I switched insurance plans and found out the procedure would be covered AND that Dr. Schmid was in my plan! I knew about him and his colleague from many years ago, when I had been investigating physicians who were highly recommended for breast surgery. I booked a consultation with Dr. Schmid, and was scheduled for my procedure in mid-August 2023.
I liked him immediately. He was soft spoken, understanding and very positive about his ability to give me the reduction I'd been waiting for, all the while dealing with increasing discomfort and pain resulting in other major surgeries.
The results are amazing! To be able to order bras ONLINE in my size is something I have never been able to do--I couldn't even FIND my bra size in most stores--let alone online! I no longer have to worry about clothes fitting my "boobs", constantly pulling on and rearranging my bra straps, pulling down the back, etc. To put on a bra and NOT do this throughout the day, every single day, is nothing short of amazing and very freeing. And, not that I do it often but, I CAN run if I need to and am also back to taking yoga classes and weight lifting at the gym. These were things I'd done pre-pregnancy but could never do again post-pregnancy; it has literally been years. It's like having my "self" back again. I have nothing but praise for Dr. Schmid and his staff. All were patient, kind and people who I felt really listened to me, my concerns, feelings, and fears and relayed kindness, understanding and a caring attentiveness back to me. Thank you all for helping me change my life!!
