Was denied by insurance twice last year for my reduction surgery but I got the call today that I was approved and they scheduled for Dec. 16th! I have no idea what I should have for recovery at home, I didn't expect to actually get the okay and an appointment so soon! Any tips or great products to have would be awesome!!

Abnormal mammogram
Jennifer81654December 7, 2016
So, I found out I was approved for surgery finally on Monday and was scheduled for next Friday due to a cancellation - which was crazy!! Had to go get a mammogram Monday afternoon and got a call today that there was an abnormality on one side and I have to go in and have an ultrasound done this afternoon. I called my husband from work and bawled because of course I'm nervous it could be something bad but also that even if it's nothing to worry about, they probably will postpone my reduction because we needed to have everything in and read and okay'd this week. I'm stressed and disappointed. I hope I get some answers today ????

Well this may be something that will help you also in the long run. Don't be too discouraged. Everything will work out in the end. I'll have you in my prayers.

I've had abnormal mammograms and they stop you in your tracks. Lukily mine were cysts, that were drained and benign. I got my needle biopsy the same week. Praying you find out quickly and are benign.

Ultrasound
Jennifer81654December 8, 2016
So I had the ultrasound on the abnormal whatever it is in my left breast and they still aren't really sure. It sounds like he thinks it may be a benign fibrous tumor but they want to do a biopsy ???? The soonest they could get me in was next week Tuesday which would absolutely mean postponing my reduction surgery so I bawled of course...but after talking with one of the triage nurses for my PS at Midsota, she made calls and pulled strings to get me in for a biopsy about an hour and a half away tomorrow even though they usually don't schedule these without the notes and imaging from the original ultrasound and mammogram - my hospital only mails them so they wouldn't get there in time. I will be picking my stuff up and hand delivering it to the imaging place that my biopsy is scheduled with but there is still a chance that once they look through the imaging and see what needs to be done that it won't be something that can do there. So fingers crossed that it's just a straightforward needle ultrasound guided biopsy and nothing more complicated or hard to get to because if they can do it there then I could have my results back in time to still go ahead with my surgery the 16th. Unless my biopsy results come back with bad news of course....and that I can't even think about yet.
Just wanted to note though that my PS office has been AMAZING through this process. Between getting me in for a same day mammogram and fast results to making the calls to find someone willling to do a biopsy ASAP - I am thrilled and so thankful for the care they have provided. I will definitely be recommending Midsota to anyone!

I had BR a few days before you. I had a non-cancerous cyst that constantly caused my mammograms to be flagged. I told my surgeon to make sure he got it when he went in! Of course everything is hard right now, but if he was able to remove it will be a double bonus.
