Breast Reduction after WLS approval

Did anyone need to do 3 months of physical therapy to get their breast reduction surgery approved?

I know some insurance wants it to see if PT helps the back problems. I know rashes, split skin, etc. will also get approvals.

I would like to hear from only people who needed this approval done and what their experience was. Thank you.

    I didn’t have to do any PT or anything before. My doctor had to provide proof that it was needed for insurance. Tell them that I had tried PT & that I was currently seeing a pain specialist for back pain.
