I am down 108 lbs and suffering from backaches that seem to be caused by too heavy breasts for my body; the family doctor just says that it is my body adjusting but..... Does anyone know where I can get a good bra fitting and support bra in Ottawa? Also, does anyone know the details on OHIP coverage for a breast reduction if it comes to that? Thanks

 ask your doc for a referral to a plastic surgeon and see what that doc says there is nothing wrong with asking for a second opinion..

OHIP covers breast reduction. You need to have things like rashes under the breasts, indents on your shoulders from your bra straps, upper back pain. It was easy breezy to get my doc to refer me for a reduction a few years ago. Recovery was somewhat painful, and my nipples look a little wonky, but i hope to get that fixed when i get plastic surgery down the road.

good luck.

No, but I am sure my husband wishes we had one - love them. We have two vintage Hondas. One of the things I am doing as part of my new life is going for my M1 in the Spring to ride the 1972 CB350 4 stroke. The reason I have Norton is because we have a cottage in Norton, Vermont. If you are into Nortons check out the website for the Classic Bike Experience in Essex Junction, Vermont

Congrats on your weight loss!

A great place to shop for bras in Ottawa is Marianne's at Westgate. It's a little expensive but worth every penny.

Looks like the girls already covered the qualifications for breast reduction which OHIP will cover. I had that done 10 years ago and would do it again in a heartbeat if I had to!

Good luck!

I will go there, hey even if it is expensive I can use some of the money I save on restaurant meals that used to cost a fortune with my old eating habits especially this time of year with work luncheons, etc
