Tuberous Breasts "Reconstruction"

After a long battle and a lot of fine detail reading of my TRICARE insurance policy, they approved to cover me 100% for my breast reconstruction. It is a breast suspension, trimmed the size of my areolas and inserted my breast tissue expanders and filled them with 100cc. I have been going in every 2 weeks to get 60cc added. I started off barley a size B. If they made a 38A that would have been my size. I am a pant size 12/14 with a big booty, wide hips, broad shoulders and my breast have never fit my body right. They have always made me feel extremely insecure and uncomfortable with every aspect of my life. They became painful after my 3rd child, I wasn't able to breast feed my babies long at all after they were born. I never had enough mammary glands to make enough milk to feed them.

My plastic surgeon said he had never seen any insurance cover a congenial abnormality correction so he was very pleasantly surprised to see that mine did. I had a referral letter from him, one from my PCM and I wrote my own accounting on why it was deemed a medically necessary procedure.
The expanders and surgery was painful but nothing too extreme. It felt more like someone (like the hulk) had punched me very hard in the center of my chest. My chest bone, or the muscles connected to it, hurt the worst. They were very tight and made it a little difficult to breathe. My areolas were only 1in from my chest wall so it is going to take a while to get my muscles stretched out. It has been a month and I just tried on a normal bra and I am now a full B. I am going for a full D. I will keep updated on my progress but they definitely have a difference already. The expanders make my breasts very hard and unnatural feeling. It is temporary which is a relief.
When I go for my fills it starts off the first few days all stuck up above my normal breast until the muscle gradually stretches and the saline descends. Every fill just makes me feel like I'm wearing a tight bra and not much pain. The worst is when the needle is inserted though my skin into the expander. They have to push the needle in the full depth to push through and that hurts worse than anything. The needle is a bigger gage and I refer to it as a straw even though that's an exaggeration. 
My lift restriction is down to 10lbs and my range of reach is limited. Which makes it difficult to care for my 3 kids but I know I have wanted this for 17 years and it will be worth it in the end. For the most part my major limit on reach is behind me, I am a month out and still sleeping elevated because of the too stretched feeling I get when I reach up while lying down. And also there is no exercising that is allowed for quite a while after surgery. No running, no fast paced arm movements, no weigh lifting, not even a leg press because it flattens out your back and stretches the muscles too much. I am going a little stir crazy from the limits I have but it will be over soon enough. I will try and post in the next few weeks for updates.
The cost is 10,000 total with it being 5,000/ per surgery and needing 2 surgeries. One to fill and correct areola size, fills and the 2nd will be to replace the expander with the implant.
