My insurance covered the bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction, I just had to pay 20% of the hospital stay which ended up being around $3800.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488353142985783707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509311548976066926.post-73170651798928317412016-03-05T20:37:37.683-08:002016-03-05T20:37:37.683-08:00I'm in the process of working with a breast su...I'm in the process of working with a breast surgeon and plastic surgeon to have preventive double mastectomy.. My mother,grandmother and aunts and several cousins who have had breast cancer .. My question is did insurance cover your surgery since it was consider preventive . I have had multiple tumors that were b9 , biopsies as well . I've had about 6 mammograms in the past year and half due dense breast tissue and not ever getting clear images ..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762850217613317512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509311548976066926.post-53841499012124755522016-01-17T10:44:57.370-08:002016-01-17T10:44:57.370-08:00Hi April!

I read through the entire thing last night in preparation for my prophylactic nipple sparing bilateral mastectomy coming up on 1.29.16. I feel so much more prepared for the surgeries after reading your experience, but the implant choice is still weighing on me a lot. Especially after reading you had 2 revision surgeries and switched implants! I am 5' 9" and about 135 lbs so my doc recommended smooth, round, high profile implants just like you had put in initially. But after reading a ton about the complications, I'm really leaning towards to Sientra textured shaped high cohesive gel implants with the round base. So I guess I'm just wondering what complication caused you to switch implants, what implant you switched to, and how you like the final results! Again, that you so much for your wonderful blog and I hope to hear from you soon! *BrittanyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488353142985783707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509311548976066926.post-90866345942751956012015-06-28T09:41:14.202-07:002015-06-28T09:41:14.202-07:00I would love to see your final result and get your...I would love to see your final result and get your feelings on how they feel. I did a direct to implant procedure 2 weeks ago and I still feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest. Did you get nipple replacement or tattoo? <br />Once again, thanks so much for sharing your story. I will be so glad when all this is over! I go tomorrow to get the drains removed. Not sure what else to expect after that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955771223175679179noreply@blogger.com
