I am looking forward to having my man boob taken off! this will be the final step in what has been a very long journey! but so worth it! My weight-loss journey started almost 4 years ago! this final procedure is the final step to complete my journey! One of the most difficult things I've had to deal with is the insurance approval but don't give in if you are denied keep appealing I can say I didn't give up when denied and my surgeon Dr Bean finally got this surgery approved!

Hello, My husband also has similar size chest to you. I was wondering how you went about getting insurance to cover it?

How did you get this approved by insurance? My chest is very similar

How did you get your insurance to pay for it after the denied you?

The dr did a peer to peer review to appeal the denial!

What is a peer to peer review, is it something complex to do for doctors, since most dont wanna even deal with you after insurance has denied you the first time

The recover was very good off pain meds in 4 days! unfortunately for me I felt so good 9 days after surgery I shoveled snow and moved around some plywood over the course of the next 4 days I was in unbearable pain on my right side! swelling leaking pain pain pain they had to put a drain back in for another week and I was out of work 3 more weeks, when I should of only been out for 1 week! lesson learned when they tell you to take it easy for 6 weeks they say it for a reason!

What exactly did you say to the insurance ,that was the reason to cover this procedure in the first place? Even though I am a woman ,I have also been contemplating this surgery due to insurance denial
