43 Years Old, Two Kids, and in Constant Pain. Desperately Need a Breast Reduction - Daytona Beach, FL

In some ways my story is not much different than the rest of us big breasted ladies. I wore a bra at a young age and went straight from a flat chest to a Bcup overnight and just kept growing from there. In high school I was already a 36DD and then after having children a 38DDD. A few years ago I had a hysterectomy and am now if 38G maybe larger. I'm not one of the ladies who hates her boobs I actually love my boobs but I just think I'm going to love them more when they're smaller and I'm not in constant pain. On top of just being large breasted I also have a lot of orthopedic problems in my neck spine and hips. I have been fighting for this breast reduction for the last several months and dealing with the insurance company is a nightmare. We have resubmitted the authorization request for surgery with the plastic surgeon now 4X. They either don't have a record of receiving it or voided it because it lacked the surgery date. Their latest excuse is that I lost coverage in their system even though I really didn't so now we had to resubmit the data all over again. I'm not real confident that I will get this procedure on the 25th being that they don't seem to really care about approving it at all but I'm still extremely hopeful. It's the last chance I have to be out of constant pain. Planning on starting this journey has been emotionally difficult. I do believe in prayer in numbers and have faith that God will make all the doors open. It might help though if I had a few more people praying for me!

Thank you so much ladies for all of your prayers. They have been answered. This morning I got a phone call from the plastic surgeons saying surgery has been approved. The date's been set back though until the 27th of April, no problem can't wait.

Now that the surgery has actually been approved I can start to get nervous. My pre-op is scheduled for April 26th and I'm nervous I won't have time to get the things they tell me I need to in just that one day. Any help on things I should get ahead of time would be greatly appreciated. I'm putting a few more before pictures up in one of my favorite house dresses. I can't wait to see what it looks like on after my procedure. Right now I just feel like it makes me look like an old lady with these huge balloons hanging from my chest. I'm actually pretty thin everywhere else and I'm tired of looking heavy just because I have huge breasts. My pain has been quite unbearable. That will be the biggest relief of all of this, but the bonus of looking good I also can't wait for.
