20 Years Old, No Kids, 42FF - Cincinnati, OH

Hey ladies. I'm glad I finally got the courage to post on this website. So on January 15th, I had a consultation with my doctor. Her names Riesa Burnet. I already love her. She talked me through everything. Took measurements and pictures. My bra is a 42FF and im even popping out of that so I know im bigger. I was so nervous that I didn't even know what to say to her exactly. Thank God my mom was with me, because I totally blank out. The first thing she said when she came in was, "Wow. I can already tell you're in pain." Maybe it was in my sloutch? She asked why I wanted it and I honesty couldn't even get anything out. I wanted to cry. (I'm such an emotional mess) I guess my mom got sick of me beating around the bush and finally told me to get my [RS bleep] together. So I eventually told her about my horrible back & neck pains. My horrible headaches, and how exercise is killing my shoulders. I'm really not the type to complain so it was pretty hard for me telling her all this. Then when she finally examined me she noticed my rashes under my breast and how bad the indentations in my shoulders are. It was pretty awkward since I don't usually let anyone see my breast. She reassured me that I was a great candidate for a breast reduction. She made me feel great. Every question I had for her she answered before I could even ask. Now we are playing the waiting game with insurance. I'm afraid because I am a little overweight. I have plans to join the Marines soon so I'm working on it now already. But of course my breast aren't making it easy. I feel like it will still be a major factor in them denying me. I didn't go over what size I want to be with my doctor just because I'm not sure myself. Maybe a large C? Small D? How long does it usually take to hear back from a insurance company? I have BCBS. Sorry if I'm all over the place. I'm just super excited and have no idea what to do to pass the time while waiting. Stay hopeful I guess. Lol.

Hello everyone. I'm still waiting for approval from my insurance. (Or being denied) I honestly think this is the worst part. I just want to hear back some how. Even if it is me being denied. Atleast then I can start the appeal process. It's the not knowing that's making me so upset. I'm considering calling them to ask how everything is coming along but I know that wouldn't speed up the process. I wish I had some answers. Thanks for listening to be blab though.

Hey ladies. I know you guys are probably sick of me complaining about my insurance, but I'm starting to think it's designed to make you want to give up. It's been 6 weeks since my consultation. And using my better judgement I called the insurance and want to know what they said? They said "We just received your paper work last week. It can take any where between 4 and 6 weeks for a approval. " I couldn't even believe what I was hearing. They had just got the paper work. I'm ready to cry. My mom told me insurance will say anything but I don't think they'd lie about that. The woman i talked to on the phone said expect a answer in a week or so though? I don't know what to do besides wait. It seems like the longer I'm waiting, the more pain I'm feeling. I have to take advil all the time now. On a good note though, I am starting to work out. (What little I can do anyway) I might have to forget about going to bootcamp this year though. I'll need proper time to heal first. I'm so excited still. I'm just going to hope and pray. Thanks for listening to me rant. In the next few days, I might get enough courage to upload pictures.
