WORTH IT

Well I'm at the beginning of this whole process. I have emailed a plastic surgeon and am waiting to hear back about a consultation appointment.

A little about me:
I'm 30 years old. I've had issues with large breasts since 11th grade. When I graduated I was a 36C. Now I wear a 38DD but I know I'm larger than that bc I'm always adjusting. I've always had self confidence issues with my chest. I always keep my arms crossed to cover them. I have to wear a bra, and sports bra everyday. I can never go with out a bra, even while sleeping because of the discomfort. Working out is an issue as running and jumping hurts. I'm a cosmetologist, and having large breasts is making my job really take a toll on my body. I have constant pain and tightness in my back, neck and shoulders. It's there when I wake up until I go to sleep.

I just can't deal with the discomfort any longer. I excited to set up a consultation and submit a letter to my insurance(blue cross blue shield) to see if I will be approved. I'm hoping the approval will not be a long process. I'm a little worried bc I don't have documentation of pain from a family doctor, but that is bc I did not have one until a month ago.

I would love to be a C-cup. I play to go look at bras in the next day or so to figure out my true size.

I will update through out my entire experience.

I know exactly how you feel! Check out my story. The neck and back tightness is real. Even massages don't help much just back to stressed an hour later. I'm a cosmetologist as well. Wondering about working after with my hands up. I'm short so I'm always reaching. Good luck!!

Thank you and good luck on the 15th. Did you have to jump through a punch of hoops to get it approved?

Actually they refused the first time and the PS sent another request and in less than a week I was approved. But I was only approved for the month of April. Weird. I also called and talked to my insurance too. I hated waiting ... hope you hear some thing soon .

I think it's so ridiculous to deny, who would want to have it done if it wasn't necessary? If I get denied I will definitely appeal.

I know right! I did have my orthopedic surgeon write a letter of recommendation for me and my PCP also . I have had a lot of shoulder,neck and back pain related to these big hooters . Don't give up! And they may surprise you and prove it the first time.

Cm8308. Even though you don't have a paper trail of pain for ur ins you can right them a letter. Explain all the pain you have how it feels, how much meds even Advil you take. If u have ever seen a chiropractor, physical therapist, massage therapist, or any dr. Call and ask all of them to write a letter on ur behalf. It a standard letter for them and it will help. I'm a cosmetologist also. You don't want to live with this pain. Read my story. I truly wish I'd done this 20 yrs ago. I will pray that they accept u but if not keep trying. It only take 90days of a paper trail to get approved I heard. Good luck!

Thank you so much. Seems like everyone I have seen get approved have letters from several doctors. So that makes me feel better.
