I’ve had several major surgeries—including a mastectomy and 3 “revisions" of my “breast restoration”! I don’t recall seeing any of the bills. Probably just didn’t look carefully at the ones I did receive. I don’t think any were as much as yours. My cost was ever more than a few hundred dollars. Those “revisions” of my “breast restoration” would not have been covered by Medicare, but my Medicare Advantage provider (Humana) did cover them. The last one was the plastic surgeon throwing in the towel, saying, “I can’t fix this,” and taking out the implant. My two cents on breast restoration, male or female: Don’t do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] "Our world is a human world." - Hilary Putnam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
