Thank you for joining us.  The weight of the breasts is very painful and hard on the back and neck.  I am hoping you are able to get this done soon.

Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO is the best. I am a 50 year old with a 38 E or F cup. I just had my surgery done 4 days ago and will probably wind up somewhere around a 36d. I couldn't be happier with it so far the pain has basically begun to subside and I can move around pretty freely the drains come out in a few days.

I will really be able to see results sometime next week after I'm about a week out. I experienced immediate relief from my upper back pain which I've had since I was a 13 year old and a 36 Triple D.

You should definitely move forward with doing it I don't think you'll regret it don't wait until you're 50 like I did.

You won't regret it, I'm now at 10 days and just got my drains out yesterday, it made a huge difference!!!! So far I'm doing really well, no infections or bizarre problems. I pray your surgery goes well too. God bless

Do it! Mine is scheduled in 3 weeks and I wish I would have done this 20 years ago. I have Group Health in Washington state and they approved it for my back and neck pain. I will only pay $150 copay, about $30 for pain meds and $75 for 2 post surgery compression wraps. Go for it!

sorry Im ate. You will be alright, its not bad as your thinking. I was more sore then actually in pain. Only thing I hated was car rides, when my mom would go over a bump it would cause discomfort.

I have a similar story to you, the same cup size and the same bra, lol (it's amazing, but it's not quite what I need). I've been looking into getting the surgery as well and am going to see my doctor next week to discuss the possibility of a reduction. I have healthnet insurance, but I also hear that Kaiser is excellent!

I also read that tricare is a good insurance company and a lot of ppl on here have been getting approval through them. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!

I have blue cross blue shield and I was approved within 3 wks. I'm a 32DDD/E. I couldn't believe how fast it's all happened. Approved last Friday and scheduled for surgery this Thursday. My surgeons nurse told me that BCBS typically approved BR and does it quickly! Good luck to you!!

There is always copays and coinsurance out of pocket expenses. The surgery out of pocket can run 6k-8kk. With Group Health in my state there is only $150 copay plus the cost of pain management meds about $30 and a compression garment about $75.
