Breast Reduction Surgery isnt a Cosmetic procedure (vent about Discovery Healths views on this surgery)

Its really sad to see how Discovery Health still hasnt considered Breast Reduction surgery as medical procedures instead of cosmetic procedures. I guess it makes financial sense for them to keep us purchasing pain medication year in and year out, instead of helping us with breast reduction surgeries. I was about to approach my dr to assist me with a motivational letter but after reading all these comments even dating years back, I see it will be useless as they wont help like they havent helped the thousands before me.

People who think breast reduction surgeries are cosmetic procedures surely do not understand the constant pain associated with living with big breasts. Some of us are on pain medication like its chronic medication and this soon will cause liver damage. No woman requesting this type of surgery is doing it for vanity. We request this because we need it to improve our health and quality of life. We are not doing this so we can become super models.

Reviewer Update
I received an email from Bankmed addressed to my Mother regarding Breast Reduction. There must be an error as Im a Discovery medical aid holder and have not been on my parents medical aid for more than 14years.

Is that the email I needed to read?
