get breast reduction surgery

I’ve had two consults with plastic surgeons here in my area… they think that I’m definetly a candidate and want to take me from a DDD to a large D. What a relief that will be…the only thing that really worries me are the scars…Now if only I can get Tricare to pay for it! 3 years ago

I am in the military, so I have the option of having my military insurance pay for the procedure. The problem is- they require me to lose at least 65lbs before they’ll cover it, and I don’t get to choose the surgeon that does it!! I feel that it would be so much easier and more profitable to lose the weight after the surgery. I have to wear four sports bras (two with wire, two without) just so they don’t flop around when I run. It’s such a huge pain in the ass. I have back pain (esp. in the morning when I wake up), shoulder grooves, and when I make the mistake of converting my bra to a halter to wear a cute top, I have the red strap mark on my neck for days!! Urgh. So frustrating. So, I’m doing research and can hopefully get this done and pay for it myself. I have a local consult next Wednesday. Will post results. 3 years ago
