Tomorrow morning I have an appointment for a consult for a breast reduction. I really hope my insurance will cover it without problems. This is my third time trying to get a reduction. The first time was 21 years ago (military deployment interfered), and the second was 6 years ago (got divorced, lost insurance). I am so ready to do it NOW. I have learned to live with the shoulder, back and neck pain and the headaches, but I am tired of just living with it. In the past 6 months I lost 25 lbs hoping it would help, but I didn't lose ANYTHING in my breasts. And it stillstill takes emotional toll. Just today I stood crying in the middle of Macy's trying to find something "sexy" to wear to bed, but nothing looks sexy when your breasts hang down to your stomach and anything big enough for your breasts hangs off the rest of your body like a tent.
So yes, I am so excited for my appointment tomorrow morning. I hope things can move quickly. I've been ready for this for 21 years.

What insurance do you have? I have Moda health insurance from my oregon employer. Hard to find anyone with Moda to see how they deal with reductions!

I have Blue Cross Federal. The doctor said they're pretty good about approving and quickly. He also said approvals across the board have been easier since Obama care. If you're in the Portland area, you should check out Dr. Popowich. He has great reviews and is really nice.

I share your pain, I'm the same size, since 12, I'm now 59, I used to pray that something would go wrong, just so I could get them cut off!! That's how much pain, etc I'm in, and how bad I need them gone.

I know what you mean. I've been so depressed lately, I rarely leave my apartment, except to go to work. I deal with daily pain. I cry almost every morning because I have a closet full of shirts that I
Can't wear comfortably. My insurance has denied me twice. If they deny me again, I'm going to file an appeal. I hope every thing turns out good for you, and your insurance will pay. ☺

Day two of posting on this site and I've come to realize there are trolls who come here just to check out girl's breasts. Go away trolls! Nobody wants you.
Still waiting to hear from my insurance though! ????

How can you tell if they are Trolls???? Seriously isn't there some sort of Filter/Block that the Website has in place. If not I am shocked...... really a site of this caliber and content surely would have thought of this. If not Shame on Real Self !!! Otherwise good luck on your consults / procedure.... you deserve the Best !!!
First he talked to me about the procedure and what to expect. Then he did an exam and took measurements. Then his assistant took a series of photographs for insurance purposes and before/after comparisons. Then he talked to me about getting the pre-authorization from insurance so we can schedule. He seemed very confident the insurance will be no problem and we'll get to it soon. Yay! Now I wait.
