I Need Help, Suggestions, Etc. Re: Getting Pre-Approved for a Breast Lift

Hi - <p>I just got off the phone with my cosmetic surgeon's office... sigh :P <p>My surgeon's opinion (which I agree with) is that I do not have enough viable breast tissue to do a breast REDUCTION; that I need a breast LIFT, and possibly implants (once the surgery gets under way, he'll try to make me a C with what I've got - if he can't, he'll insert small implants to get me there). <p>I have back, shoulder, and neck pain, as well as migraine headaches, and I have two primary care doctors, and my ob/gyn who said they'd gladly write letters stating their opinion on my need for the surgery. <p>The surgeon's office has never pre-certified anyone for a breast lift before, so before they submit the paperwork, they would like as much documentation from all of my other doctors as possible (not an issue). <p>But I'm also wondering if I should include a letter from myself, telling the insurance company that I HAD TO start wearing a bra in 3rd grade, that I have been teased and ridiculed all my life because of the size of my breasts, and that their size prevents me from enjoying my life now, because even though I've lost 130 lbs., I still cannot run, do aerobics, horseback ride, or anything "jumpy." <p>Any advice that y'all have would be greatly appreciated :) <p>Thanks! <br>Shawn Bryan
