i just saw a plastic surgeon yesterday, his name is pierre michaud, works out of kent...real nice guy, office staff is beyond wonderful.. felt very comfortable.
i thought i could get my insurance to cover the breast reduction, but i didnt qualify...they  make it very difficult, especially after weight loss....

the prices vary person to person, and depending on what needs to be done...

i walked out with a quote of approx.25,000.00  and that included a body lift or what some may know as a belt lift... and breast reduction/lift.

hope this helps...

take care
linda

My experience in 2008 with UHC was a bit different from what Jaime wrote.  I ended up speaking with a higher up in the office in Warwick after I was told I wasn't covered.  He told me that UHC considered the band experimental, and no matter what I wrote or submitted, they would not cover it.

Don't want to rain on your parade, but I don't want you to get overly excited, either, in case things just don't pan out for you.
