27 Year Old 38H Need a Breast Reduction! - Washington

I've been thinking about getting a reduction for years. I was a D by the end of middle school. I'm now at a 38H. I know I need to lose some weight overall, but I've always felt very unproportional. Even when I played sports and was skinny in high school, I was at least a DDD. After finding and obsessively reading posts on this website the last two weeks, I've finally taken the first step, and set up a consult appointment with a plastic surgeon for April 20th. I've talked to my insurance, and they said that IF I get approved, they will cover 80% of it, with my max out of pocket being $5,500. More than I wanted to pay, but probably worth it. I've always struggled with back and neck pain, but never been to a chiropractor or anything for it. So I'm hoping that I can get approved just based on my consult meeting with my surgeon, and not need documentation of previous problems. Other than insurance coverage, I am worried about a couple of other things. I am 27, and will probably want to have kids a few years from now. I'm worried about being able to breast feed (I know it's possible with the way they are doing surgery now) and also worried about my big scary boobs coming back after having kids and wasting all that money...

So I finally had my consult today! The surgeon said that in order to meet the Schnur Scale requirement he would have to take out 800-900g, and he said that wouldn't be a problem because he would probably want to take 900-1000g (almost 2 pounds from each) anyway. He seemed to think that my insurance would approve the surgery, but now we just have to wait and see! I hope they get it figured out soon, I'm getting really anxious! I'm a teacher and would really like the procedure done at the very beginning of my summer break so I can spend break recovering. But that's coming up here in 3-4 weeks, so it needs to go fast! Oh - He said that a D cup would be best for my body, so that would be a decrease of about 4 cup sizes!!!

Woohoo! Got the call today, three weeks after my info was submitted to my insurance, that I'm approved for the surgery! My surgery date is June 20th, soooo soon! I have my pre-op appointment June 14th. Now I can really start to get nervous, lol! Any tips for preparing would be greatly appreciated!!!
