Hello everyone,

I've lost about 50lbs since my surgery. It came off everywhere except on top. I've been large all along, now i'm just large, droopy and disproportionate.

The worst part is that now my back has been bothering me, along with my neck and shoulders and exercising is a challenge and uncomfortable.

My primary doc was able to get my insurance to approve an initial consult with a plastic surgeon, who in turn, said I am a perfect candidate for surgery and for insurance to pay for it.

I have tri-care and really don't see a problem with them approving this. They've been very easy for me to work with (it's a civilian doc, since there are no military facilities close by).

I guess my question is......anyone here who's had the breast reduction and tri care paid for it......how long did the approval take? When I had my lap band done, the gastric surgeon scheduled my surgery THEN did the insurance stuff. The plastic surgeon is doing it the other way. Just curious if anyone knows...

Thanks in advance.

Andrea~~
