More than anything, I would like to not have the constant pulling of my neck and shoulders. I would like to run and dance and jump without being completely self-conscious about the flopping display. I want someone to notice my brown eyes first, not my big boobs. After experiencing the true onset of menopause and its lovely weight gain and mood swing surprises, I decided I had suffered long enough. After praying about it first ( I didn't want God to be upset with me), my spiritual advisors helped me work that out.. When I had the peace of knowing He blessed this decision, I went into action and found my PS and made the appointment. We talked at great length, then took pictures, and measurements and sent the request off to my insurance company. Two weeks later, I got the exhilarating news that it was approved...after all these years, it was finally going to happen. Now I'm getting myself ready, losing weight, lining up help for a week or 2 and ready in every aspect. I will definitely keep everyone posted.

Thank you for joining us.  You will feel like a new woman very soon.  This is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

Congratulations, and good luck with your surgery and healing! We are the same age. I've put this off for too long. I have my second consultation with a ps this Thursday.

Hello. How has your surgery gone?
I am just starting on the road of breast reduction I am seeing my Surgeon next week.
I have had 5 operations on my spine in the cervical (neck) section to remove tumours and rebuild my spine with titanium. I am now finding heavy breasts very debilitating and my neck and shoulders ache all the time.
Did you manage to get your insurance company to cover the cost? I doubt if that would happen in UK!
Good luck I hope you are going well.

Yes, they absolutely did cover it because they could easily see all the money they were having to pay out on all my back procedures. It was worth it to them to cover this and not have to pay for ongoing back treatment.

Due to circumstances WAY beyond my control, I have to post-pone this surgery for a period of 7-10 months. :(
Hopefully, I will rejoin the forum a few months closer to my actual rescheduled date. This has been THE single most helpful location to understand all that is expected financially, emotionally, socially, etc. before a major operation like this. I pray that all will be resolved soon and I can go ahead as planned. For now, I continue to endure the shoulder and neck pain. Very disappointing but I always trust my God who definitely is wiser and knows the better time and place for me.
