Pending insurance coverage I will have breast reduction surgery on 10-13-16. I never really thought this would be possible but the steps I had to take weren't as hard as I thought they would be. My insurance company needed the following from me:

* A referral letter from my PCP
* A personal statement letter stating why I wanted/needed a reduction
* Proof that I have been seeing a chiropractor for at least 6 months. (I have been going for years) Also, my Chiro wrote a letter of recommendation for me.

I have been large busted since puberty. I was a c cup in 5-6 grade and since then they have steadily grown. I hope to go back to a full c cup :)

I am 5 days post op. The first few days were rough but already feeling a ton better. So worth it!! Good luck with surgery!

I had surgery 7 days ago. I am not at all pleased. Please learn from my mistake- everything they have you sign say breast reduction/lift. On all of my pre- op appts I was quite frank with the dr. that I wanted my right breast to match my left- there was a cup size difference and I wanted the emphasis to be on lift. I was assured repeatedly he understood even the morning of the surgery . I was horrified the day after surgery to find he took my full DD breast down to a small B. Making me significantly out of proportion with my body-forget about the overall shape as well. My advice- is amend all paperwork with wording that spells out how limited you want the reduction,when I shared how unhappy I was he simply said you can always get implants! Spell it out. I had a false confidence based on his credentials-but the additional surgery,costs, pain,time off from work was not part of my plan. Please learn from my poorly based trust. Good Luck

More before photos....this bra I'm wearing is a Lane Bryant 36F that I am busting out of. I called the insurance company to see if I was approved and they told me they never received my claim. I'm so frustrated! Luckily I have a great nurse at my office who is taking care of it behind the scenes for me. Wish us luck!
