Has anyone had their insurance cover a mastopexy without a reduction

I have select blue bc/bs western pa.... i had gone to a surgeon and was approved for a reduction&lift, which was not what he told me he would apply for, he said a reconstructive mastopexy.. im sure you could imagine my anger when i found out i couldnt have the surgery, b/c he messed up, he told me that after further looking he realized i didnt have enough tissue for a reduction. whic he told me that b4 he applied, now im at my whits end, denied 2 times for a panni, which he applied for too but as an adominalplasty, which wasnt what he told me he was applying for either! Sorry for venting, I was told that NO INSURANCE covers a LIFT, which i know isnt true, ive seen people who have had it covered. PLEASE someone give me some hope to go on and try again for these surgeries. I have been diagnoses with DDD, my hips are unalined and wont stay in place , ive got the whole side of my right leg which is numb and has been for 9 months, (im 1 1/2 yrs Post-op) chronic baack pain and not to mention the chest wall and neck/shoulder pain and headaches from my breasts. My mental state is at its all time low, I know there are ppl out there who need these surgeries way more then i do,so i know i shouldnt whine! But how does one live life suffering as much as they did heavy?! Any help will be appreciated. Brandy email me at [email protected] ... ha that should be jstsodamsaggy instead.
