I am on BCBS of GA and looking into a breast reduction as well as a tummy tuck. Has anyone had these procedures that were covered by BCBS? If so, I'd love to hear how you went about getting them covered and if you're glad you did it!

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!
