26 Years Old, 200 Lb, One Year of Breast Feeding. Grand Rapids, MI

15 Days to my consultation! I am so nervous, I so need this surgery (as seen in pictures) I have had a consultation before, but this was before my child. My husband lost his job, which meant the insurance went to. So I was not able to get the surgery.
Three year later and a now 1 year old. I am taking a stab at it again, but this time around I am doing more research. I also was not comfortable with the surgeon my primary physician referred me to which was the one I had the first consultation with ( his office sucked another story by itself). So I found my own doctor who accepted my insurance. My doctor sent in a referal to him, and I scheduled an appointment with the doctor. I had to cancel my first appointment beacuse I was not aware that I had to be done breastfeeding for 6 mo. I have had a lot of obstacles in my way so I really do hope that everything goes well. By the way I am a 38N! YES N! I was a 38 HH before child

The nurse from the surgical office called me today. Asking if I had any other doctor's documentation of back pain, neck pain due to large breast. The only thing I have is a referral from my doctor saying that I have chronic back pain. Will that be enough for insurance to cover breast reduction. I do deal with back and neck pain also migraines because of having 38 N very heavy breast. But I never specifically went too the doctor for the issues. Will that make a difference in my insurance approval?

Now the waiting games begin! I have had so many hiccups I have been trying to do this for three years. In 2012 I had a consultation and I did not go through with it because after my husband switched jobs insurance ended. I was not 100% confident in the surgeon anyways not impressed with him personaly. His staff sucked 7 weeks later I called back to see if I was approved and the person who handles that at the office never got back with me. If she had gotten back I probably would have been able to have the surgery before my insurance ended. Next year I got pregnant and nursed. This summer I finally picked up the process again. But I had to wait an extra 6 months after I stopped nursing. I found a really great doctor waited a month for the appointment just to hear that they thought I had my old insurance once I arrived to the appointment and do not accept Medicaid. my primary doc office told them I was still under BCBS so they didnt take my insurance. Eventhough the priority health company list it says they do. Come to find out only for reconstructive surgery. So fast foward a month later finally had an appointment. I had to go to a residency surgical center they are the only ones who accept priority health Medicaid. Everyone was kind there I felt like I could ask questions he asked me what my symptoms were. 3 years ago I felt like the doctor never asked he just took pics measured explained a little and I was gone. I educated myself alot more too anout to ask more questions. The two PS were pretty certain that I would get approved. Before I left they were like e Will see you at surgery. Once I took my shirt off I could tell they really wanted too help me. My Ps said for any reason they would deny me he would talk took them personally. They are expecting took take 1200- 1300 kg off each breast that's about 3 lb.l 3 years ago when I asked the PS that same question he could not even answer that for me. The more experienced surgeon said that would be a full D. I am just so nervous about it all hopefully early January I will have my BR. I will be closer to my 6 month mark for BR of no breastfeeding. Sorry so long of a story lol
