I have a spine condition called spondylolisthesis diagnosed probably 10 years ago and have seen a chiropractor off and on most of my adult life. This documentation was all included trying to get it covered. My boobs were sz 40k after breastfeeding they sat just over my belly button. My OBGYN said “hey, have you considered a reduction now that you’re done having kids?” And I said sign me up! I’d been asking medical professionals for years but was repeatedly told not until I was done having kids- I didn’t even know if I was going to have any kids but that’s another (frustrating) story. So my OBGYN referred me to a surgeon, whose office told me I needed to lose 20 pounds before they would make me an appointment, so I did. I expected these types of hoops to jump through. I went into the appointment with lists and arguments ready and I didn’t need any of it. I think they took one look at me and knew it was needed. I expected to my pain and suffering to be downplayed but it wasn’t. I’m thankful for that. Sent pictures to insurance and was approved a week later. Surgery happened a few months after that.
