WORTH IT
I'm 37 years old and a 48dd I hope to be a b or small c cup after surgery. I know in my heart I'm doing the right thing. I have always had large breasts and developed at a young age.I have large pendulum breasts that cause upper back pain and bra grooving. I also have to buy huge tops just so my breasts fit. I'm hoping to find some relief with this surgery. I have been doing research on this surgery and it is scary, but I believe it will be worth it. My breast reduction buddies have helped e make the right decision. Now I'm trying to lose 22 lbs so I can get the surgery. I don't have a surgery date yet, because the PS has to take pictures for my insurance. God Bless

On Aug 31, my doctor told me once I lost 25 lbs, he's send my info/photos to insurance for approval. I have 15 more pounds to go for my weigh in. It's going slower than I want it to, but I do see the scale moving, which is motivating me to keep going. I'm using the Lose It! app with a Fit Bit Zip tracker. It's life changing. Good luck with what you're doing. We're on the same path.

Hello craftygirl! It's so nice to know I'm not the only one who has to lose weight. That is what my doctor said too. Thanks and God Bless

I went to my PS over a month ago. They filed the paperwork with the wrong department of BCBS. The office finally sent to right department last week. I am just dying to find out if I've been approved or not. I am a 40/42 G+. I am 43 and weigh 265 pounds so I have kind of resigned myself that I'll be denied until I lose some weight. I know this is the right decision as well. Like you I want to go to a size b or small c. I can't stand wearing bras as they hurt. I wish you all the luck !!!!

Thank You tafenner! My doctor seems to be really good and on top of things. It hurts me too especially in the upper back and shoulders from my breasts being too heavy. I will say a prayer for you and I hope you get approved. God Bless

It has been years since I last tried to get a breast reduction. I found a great surgeon thanks to my doctor Erika. The doc took pictures and measurements. I am now a 44ddd or 44e not sure. The doctor will be taking me down to b or small c cup. I am praying insurance will approve me..
