I am a 26 year old female beginning my process of seeking a much needed breast reduction. My breast are huge and the pain it cause I can no longer endure. So far I have had my first consultation, been approved with a second opinion and have done physical therapy to see if that would help...Wrong.!!!

Today is my appointment for my second consultation. I am a little nervous but very anxious and ready to find out if I will be able to be approved for surgery. Because of the severe back neck and shoulder pain I have to be cleared for surgery by my insurance company. Hopefully with all the paperwork that I have they will see the severity my problem. Praying for the Best.

The Insurance Process

I have Horizon Insurance and for them to approve my much needed breast reduction they want 6 months worth of paperwork stating all other sources failed. August is over so I should have my official date of surgery soon. Approximately 4 months from today. I'm nervous but very excited. Nov/Dec seems far but after the next 12 physical therapy appointments it should go by quickly ??

I started the process last December. And also thought it seemed so far away, but just got mine aug. 12, 2 weeks ago. Now, the year of paperwork, doctors, physical therapy(stupid) seems like a blur. It's all worth it. I am so immensely happy! And you will be, too!!
