Not sure about breast reduction or rude surgeon comment???

Hello All-Well I'm 1 year post op as of march 6 04-Today I went to see the plastic surgeon after sitting there for almost 2 hours I met with him for all of ten minutes-I was told to wait for the tummy tuck until I am at the weight I want to be-I would like to lose another 70lbs so I will be holding off on that-However I am in dire need of a breast reduction and lift I am currently a 40-42DDD I used to be a 48DDD-I've lost 143lbs with 70 more to go. The doctor scared me a little because he said that the insurance company might want to take me down to a lesser cup -something more like a B -I was HORRIFIED-I would look absolutely ridiculous wearing a B cup-I would think a full C/D would be perfect for me-He also said that he would like to do an anchor incision to keep the sensation in my nipples as well as for future breast feeding when and if I have children, which was okay with me, but told me that due to the large amount of tissue he could not be fully certain if an anchor incision is a 100 % possible. Which scares me to lose sensation in my nipples. In addition, I am a brownskin Black/Indian woman and he said my nippes would be discolored to pale pink for about 6 months before the colore returned-Is this normal??? Lastly he made a comment about possibly having to battle with the insurance company so that they don;t take away too much of my breasts-He told me my choices were to of course appeal,get a lawyer and fight them but had a client who went through that and it was rather embarassing with the all the doctors or something, pay out of pocket which I can;t afford to because I am a college 23 yr old college student, or to "give them some black girl attitude" and fight them this way-I was really pissed off and offended by the comment but did not say anything and just got dressed-Should I have said something-should I write a letter or just try and find another plastic surgeon-I believe he is with a group that is one of the bests-so I don;t really know what to do-Should I try and see another doctor in the practice -After hearing everyhting about losing nipple sensation all together and discoloration and being a b-cup and looking retarted-I'm ready to just deal with my saggy girls the way that they are-Sad and Confused in Pa Tori
