Nearly 40 with 40 DDD

I'm seeking to have a breast reduction, I'm 40 and I've needed one since I was 16 . I remember having a BF as a teenager saying mine were like a 30 year Olds . Talk about deflated confidence . Anyway I have anthem BCBS and I been seeking it for a few years but I was ignorant only seeing and talking to 1 PS and he has done some other things to my nose repairing a mess made my MRSA anyway the last time he kinda messed it up but it wasn't his fault stuff like that happens . Long story short he said he wouldn't fix it unless I drove an hour a day to lay in hyperbaric for an hour then an hour home for 30 days total . So I got a second opinion and thr 2nd opinion said one of the at was needed fixed with without the grafts and I'm happy well its not perfect but ti never will be anyway . I just wanted to look semi normal again . Any way back to breasts my original PS requested amounts way under what he knew my insurance required I had no idea there was a scale at the time. But now know he knew they would reject it twice he has done that . Now he he requested thr amount they require for m right breast cause its bigger says my left breast will be too small if he takes that much and he insists I will need and nipple graft no matter what . I m just perplexed after reading on this site looking at some other before and after pics I don't see why I need a FNG. He says it's the amount 628 grams plus he says the droop which I have seen pics of women with them al,oat to their waste even a review on here and a girl had huge breast with them Nearly to her belt line that didn't need that done. So why does he insist I need a FNG? Anyway I posted a detailed question to the awesome docs here on real self and 2 already answered and said 628 is no where near too much . But I forgot to ask about the FNG I'm sure they'd disagree with hm though . Anyway I'm 5'11" right now I'm weighing in at 178 but I hope to get down to a little less so my required amount can go down to 575 . I just don't feel like they even want me to get approved by my insurance .. anyway I have a lot of consults coming up with some other fantastic doctors. I'm not going trying to say bad things about my current doc because I try not to overlook to overlook he good he has done and he really has done some great stuff for me my nose I've had 4 surgeries so far and I know this last thing wasn't his fault .. I think maybe he jus hasn't kept up with the new ideas that about anchor can be done even on very hangy breasts . . Anyway so just really anxious I'm so sick of thr misery associated with them . The cutting of my straps migraine I have muscles spasm in my shoulders and all that stuff .. I just called the office manager to remind her had already en t a chiropractor and all that mess t jump through insurance hoops to throughly and e mind her maybe she should send that to throughly them to begin with because I've already spoke with them they say the more they send in documentation the faster it happens .. but nope she won't listen she is just going to send them or PA like always .. One more reason I'm going for a end 3rd 4th and 5th opinion . I just hope if insurance approves it and I change docs it won't make a difference .. they always say send them as much documentation ads possible and she is like nope just a letter . Sheesh anyway so that my story so far .. I have some appointments with some docs that are on here . I been chatting with another lady who just started this journey too she is pretty cool she lives not far from me and her doc answered my question liked his answer he is 4 hours away so I sent him a request for a consult . I was hoping I could get a Skype consult and release him my records like dr Horndeski out in Texas does. He does the ultimate breast reduction /left with no scars.. they say it's reasonably priced and I guess if you care that much about scars and are willing to pay cash as they don't accept insurance then yes is reasonable but I can't afford it.. it twice what average reduction is.. like I said if you are doing it for cosmetic reasons and scars are a concern then yeah it makes sense .. but I don't care about scars ., when you've been in this much pain for this long you stop caring about scars or how small you might be its all just a matter of choosing the lesser of 2 evils .. anyway I'll update after I have my next consult with Dr Nunnery on the 12th in PC fl and then Dr Baker on the 14th in Dothan Al..

Well aren't I glad did not go with the first doctor I saw ? Sheesh sounds like he was going to mutilate me at this point. Every other doctor absolutely refused to do what insurance demanded one even said it would be a mastectomy. Wow no I don't want that .. but the first doctor was like if that's what you what I will do it .. I was desperate and if he had not started saying I had to have a free nipple graft I might have done it too . But I knew I did not want that done . Turns out every other doctor I've seen and one I spoke with on the phone after he saw photos and my measurements said I do not need a FNG in fact far from it . My nipple t notch is mid 30s one said unless it gets up to 40 cm there is no need to plan t graft my nipple the blood supply can be left unanimously they said that .. so that freaks me out a bit being he has operated on my face twice already . The second time it did turn out worse but I never blamed him still don't I just know to be more selective next time .. anyway I saw Dr Nunnery in PC Fl I like him a lot and I would have used him but the I saw Dr Baker in dothan closer to home and 1000 cheaper . Let me tell you both doctors seem awsome . Neither have done any work in me but they both have great reviews I'm thrilled to pay for it myself so I can not be worried about being toon small . I had 1500 in an FSA and now I only have tone come up with 3500 . When Dr baker says he gives a discount because the cost of living is cheaper here he tells the truth 1000 less is nothing to snivle at and he has excellent reviews and even has some extra associations he is with besides the board of PS.. OK so Feb 23 if I can come up with the cash 2 weeks before that date if not I'll have to move it up but shouldn't be too much later . The very worat case we have to wait on tax refund we should get twice that and we usually get it the 2nd week of February. . I did Draft a letter to my insurance company cause it is crummy like one doctor said if a man came in with a hernia causing him pain there would expect no squabbling about how much of the hernia has to be removed for them to pay . Pain is pain hernia is hernia hypertrophic breasts is what it is even small reductions make huge improvements in symptoms. It's just a way to deny clains that's it . I don't understand why I can't spare the 628 maybe even 575 since I lost weight since they weight at least 10 pounds together . But it's OK I don't want to be too small being almost 6 feet tall I don't need to be and also I am trying to lost about 15 more pounds before surgery so that I'll be at a good weight and not need to lose any and mess up my surgery . In fact in just a couple weeks maybe 2 and a half I've lost 10 pounds . FYI I found a new diet supplement at the HF store called " skinny magic " don't care what anyone says it WORKS have lost weight like crazy .. I was afraid I'd lose too much and my boobs would get small and insurance would reject me . Of course they don't get much smaller when I lose weight but I was pushing it anyway .. oh well not worred now the count down begins

I meant to add this in the last update . Part of me is really relieved to be self paying for my surgery . Not only so I won't have to worry about being too small in the end but so that I can lose some weight before and not worry about losing a little in my breasts and not meeting required breast weight . I lose a little breast tissue when I lose but not near'you enough to make me small enough to relieve symptoms the sagging also causes symptoms every doctor will tell you that heavy pendulous breasts cause pain even if they aren't huge . Even just a D cup of tea sag can cause pain . Anyway I had lost 11 pounds but I wasn't willing to lode anymore afraid I would get too small and being " borderline " for insurance in was afraid it might cause me to fall outside the range . However on the other hand also did not want to wait until after I had surgery to lose and mess up my results . So now I can lose the worst before my date which will be no problem I only need about 15 more pounds at the very most and I have lost 11 in about 2 weeks maybe less on these new supplummets so before the 23rd of Feb u should have plent of time ..
