    It's so upsetting to hear you're both staring down the barrel of our awful dystopian healthcare system yet again, but I'm happy to see Mal taking it in stride, and continuing to take steps to improve her quality of life and be happier in her own skin.
    Hoping surgery went well and recovery goes well and wishing her the best.

      It's absolutely criminal that health insurance companies would rather see their insured in a coffin than pay a dime towards life-saving and health-improving treatments.

    • @NUFCSuraj
      @NUFCSuraj Рік тому +10

      Gosh. As a Brit, I have many issues with our country. But I cannot imagine having to worry about the cost of all the treatments my loved ones have had to go through over the years. My mum has had a history of health problems and it all started with her being precautious enough to go to the hospital due to pain (which then led to a scan and a revelation that she needed life saving surgery that same night.) I can confidently say that she wouldn't be with us now if we had to pay, as we wouldn't have been able to justify the cost of calling an ambulance to go to the hospital on a whim. I don't want to think about how many people in other countries don't have that luxury and have ended up in tragic circumstances because of it. What a sad state of affairs.
      I echo your thoughts of Mal + Stephen taking it in their stride and also wish them the best!

    My wife had it done when she was 18. The recovery process was tough for a few days, but all in all went really well and she is so happy she did it! Wishing you well on the surgery. Hopefully all goes well and you have a fast recovery and no further back issues :)

  • @zeldamaster702

    I usually watch the Vlogs in order but I wanted to watch this one as soon as I knew it was coming. As a Patron I’ve obviously had some heads up on this happening, and I’ve maybe said something on those channels, but I just want to say that I’m so glad that you are making all these steps to improve your life(and that from things that have been said on Breakfast Stream that the surgery went well) and hopefully this is the last big thing you guys need to go through for a WHILE. I wish you the best healing journey possible and I hope you get to come back to steams as soon as possible! Much love to you two and all of the Raleigh Collective and the greater GeorgCorp family.
    Also(and I say this as a US citizen, and also forgive my language), and I cannot say this stronger, fuck the US Health Insurance system so hard.

    @Deevster Рік тому +27

    So this was the surgery Stephen mentioned on breakfast stream. Still absolutely disgusting that some health insurance companies still won’t cover procedures like this, but considering how well Mal recovered from her endo surgery quite well, she’ll recover from this smaller one quite well.

    • @NintendoBlurb
      @NintendoBlurb Рік тому

      To be fair it sounds like they didn't bother to try and see if this could be covered. Most companies won't cover elective breast reduction surgery and would require some sort of proof that the surgery was medically necessary. They may have been able to get this covered especially since Mal has been thoughtful and has been documenting this for that past 10 years. But I completely understand why they don't want to go through the headache of gathering documentation and going back and fourth with insurance.

      The surgery itself isn't too bad but post opp can be irritating as you have to be careful. Also might not be fun if U r sensitive to meds. But it is a small inconvenience to have to be free of the issues from being busty . Also at least when I had mine done 20 years ago, I was told I may not be able to breast feed due to scaring.

      @@confusedopal8244 a few days for the shower, just be careful around the incisions. As for clothing nothing tight for at least 2 weeks and no traditional bra for at least that long. They will supply you with a special bra to wear, they'll let how often and for how long to wear it. At least that how it went with me but the doctor doing the surgery will get into more detail durring the consultation. They may even give you a booklet. Don't be afraid to ask questions, they may forget to mention somethings as Like with most surgeries there is alot.

    This video makes me happy, not just for Mal speaking up for her health and comfort, and Stephen being the unconditionally supporting husband he's always been, (great to see queens marry kings) but it's also kind of beautiful to me to see you guys feel you can trust your community enough to be open about this. Breasts and breast surgeries are so stigmatized and sexualized, so I can imagine how vulnerable someone might feel discussing this in front of thousands of people online.
    I guess that's just another example of Mal exhibiting ownership of her own body, and being an inspiration to all the women watching to do the same. 🫡

    I have not yet seen how it would go here in Germany, but as far as I know, if doctors attest to the fact that this is a medical procedure, not a cosmetic one, it will be covered. I wish it were like that for you as well Mal.

Like, what is even the point of them if they're not gonna help when it's needed? Anyway, I'm glad everything's worked out. Take care in recovery, Mal!
