Breast Reduction?

Can we talk about breasts for a second? Now I love my girls...no question about it. But the reality is after nursing for two years and losing weight my breasts are starting to become a problem.  They are big, floppy and unshapely.  I wear a size 38DDD. Even though I'm am a 12 waist..my breasts are clearly a 16.

Last year I started experiencing some back pain that landed me in a chiropractor office. I won't bore you with his findings and recommendations..but let's just say I wasn't willing to dish out $1200 for therapy. Around the same time I seriously started looking into how I could get a breast reduction covered by my insurance.  I knew it would be struggle. Sure enough the surgeon I found refused to even see me without having at least 6 months of therapy. So I dropped the idea.


Now this year I wanted to get a couple of appointments out of the way that I wasn't able to get to last year. One being a mammogram. I have a new OBGYN whom after doing an examination herself recommended I go see a breast specialists.  Alright...cool.

But I knew I needed to see a chiropractor in the meantime. I switched over to new health insurance last year and was able to meet my $3,000 deductible within the first month. I know! So that $1200 chiropractor therapy I mentioned earlier is now covered 100%. I've been going to the chiropractor weekly for three months now and will approach another surgeon. Simultaneously I have an appointment next month with a breast specialists to discuss my options considering my family history of breast cancer.

A breast reduction in my case is more than just a physical relieve. The reduction could also reduce my risk of cancer by 50-70%. Given my family history this is a HUGE incentive. I've had five aunts who've had either breast or ovarian cancer.  Pretty scary but thankfully everyone has recovered.

So this will be bit of a journey I know, but I'm willing to take it on for a healthier me.
