NickelChip 1,318 Posted December 22, 2024 You're looking so good! Not to give TMI, but I would love a reduction as well because I am constantly getting rashes now, especially underneath one breast, from the loose skin. Having my doctor document the issues for maybe insurance to cover it someday. And I'm so sorry about your grandma. That's so hard, and right at the holidays, too.

ShoppGirl 5,022 Posted December 23, 2024 (edited) So sorry to hear about your loss. You look fantastic though. If you do get a reduction you may want to wait a bit just to make certain your weight had stabilized. Insurance does cover it sometimes if it’s medically necessary because of rashes and such as mentioned by @NickelChip which requires alot of documentation but your bariatric dr should know what to do for that and also for back pain but I was told that they have to remove a pretty significant amount of breast tissue that may not leave you with the cosmetic result you desire to do it for back pain through insurance. It’s certainly worth doing a consult with a cosmetic surgeon though to get their advice though.

I lost my brother recently, its never easy, I'm sorry you lost your grandmother. Take care of yourself, it sometimes becomes a second thought and sometimes a third after we lose a loved one. My thoughts are with you. 1 ShoppGirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
