Hi ladieswondering if anyone can share their experiences with getting OHIP coverage for a breast reduction in OntarioI know that it says there needs to be significant symptomatology for it to be covered... but do they just take our word for it that we have symptoms???I've got a referral from my family doctor to see a surgeon and I go Nov 25... my back has completely seized up 4x in the past 8 months or so, I have constant neck and shoulder tension, it's uncomfortable to sit or stand with proper posture, and I have some random tingling in my right hand.. I've been getting massages since March to help with the constant neck and shoulder tension and it only temporarily helps.  I wouldn't say I have strap mark indentations (bc I don't have a lot of body fat), and I don't have any rashes but my underwire (of a properly fitted bra) digs into the side of my boob under my armpit and leaves marks.I know the surgeon takes all that information and applies to OHIP - I'm SO NERVOUS it won't be coveredCan anyone share whether or not OHIP covered their BR and if it as difficult to get approval?  Does OHIP have a minimum amount that must be removed for it to be covered?  Do they take into account size of breast vs. frame?I'm 5'1, around 115-119 lbs, size 30FF (cup size equivalent to 34DD).
