Good luck to you. You made the same choices I did in December when I had a double mastectomy. My insurance company did not object probably because, at least according to my doctor, having the second, non-cancerous breast removed is a strong form of prevention. I too chose to go flat. I have a padded brassiere which was fitted at a medical supply center and paid for by Medicare. I do not regret any of these decisions. I’m so comfortable being flat that I rarely wear the bra. I also was anxious, once I knew my situation, to have my breasts gone! So you and I seem to think alike! I also want to tell you that the surgery, at least for me, was not especially painful. I wish you the best. You sound like you have a strong attitude (and make terrific decisions!) and those features will stand you in good stead.
