***Getting Gyno Removed for Cheap***

[smackthatAAS]

If you have insurance you will most likely be able to get it covered. Here's the catch though, it must be labeled as clinical and not cosmetic. Visit your MD and have him document you're issues. Tell him it causes severe pain and keeps you awake at night, this is important. He than may forward you to a surgeon. Once again make it clear that you are in sever pain and it keeps you awake at night, this is the key to getting it covered. That and deny recreational drug use such as steroids (unless on hrt). Also you must take pre op blood test. Make sure you are off cycle when these are taken (unless on hrt).

Is this what you did? If so you mind going into a bit more detail of the process? How long it took to get it done, how many docs you had to see before hand etc...

Ok well it seems I'll be going with Upenn on this one. I have a consultation this tuesday and I'll probably have a resident doing the procedure with a certified physician in the room. Going to cost +/- 3200 bucks.

I may try to go into my Dr's office w/ the "It hurts really bad..." story and see where that gets me but I'll probably end up at Upenn.

Had my tonsils taken out at Upenn, great doctors, not sure about plastic surgery but should be good.

I have absolutely no experience here, but common sense would lead me to stay away from any cosmetic surgeon that is advertised as being the cheapest. You get what you pay for.

This. I would call around and schedule an appt with 5-10 drs. Interview them and get quotes, look at the location, get a vibe for their personality etc and make an informed desicion. If you do it right, you wont have to mess with it again. Unless of course you run another cycle and it comes back, but if he did a good job before, then you can assume you can rely on him to do a good job again. Just my .02
