I started this process of getting a breast reduction surgery approved by my insurance, BCBS. I met with four plastic surgeons in the last 2 weeks of October, and eliminated two right away. I had the other two PS submit claims and go from there. I have a preferred PS of course. I am waiting to see if my insurance approves me. I am thinking about the end of February to the beginning of March for surgery. I work in construction as an inspector and that time frame is one of slowest times of year for work. I plan to take a minimum of three weeks off. I will work light duty for 3 weeks before resuming my normal work activities. I have 13 days of paid vacation that I could use.
