Dr Schulman -
I am a year post LB and have lost over 65lbs. I am 5'8 and still weigh 190 - want to lose another 40lbs. Recently, I went to be measured for new bras and measured a 38C BUT when trying them on had to finally get a 40DD to get the support and coverage needed. Now, I am having issues with back pain, the bra straps cutting me and not being able to further my excercise to running and aerobics due to the pain they cause.
I am looking for a PS who will handle this through my insurance. I believe that I need a breast reduction - would like to be an actual 38C but in discussing this with other Drs, they are thinking that I need a breast lift which wouldn't be covered. What is you opinion on this? Also, I hope to have a tummy tuck at the same time. Do you feel this is a good option and at any time is this also covered through insurance? I have BCBS - HMO...I look forward to hearing from you soon! Thanks!
