Ayden's circumcision surgery is tomorrow. I'm scared for my baby. I don't want it to hurt him. But that's something I…

My son has state insurance in Tennessee and I think it was covered, but I chose not to have it done. The whole idea just made me uneasy after I looked into how it was done.

Oh I didn't know that either lol thanks for that. But yea in Chicago it goes by your insurance @Mirandag

Oh, I just know it's becoming a less popular cosmetic surgery overall. I don't know for sure which insurances cover it and which don't.

They do cover it. It just depends on what insurance you're with. Like my son is with "county care" & a lot of places don't take county care anymore. So really I could have switched his insurance. Then it would've been a problem. @mirandag

Thank you. & hopefully your state works better than mine. Hopefully you get your babies medical card to get his surgery, waiting too long bcos the doctors are money hungry is ridiculous. & yea my bf really wants this done too. He keeps bugging me about it. @varduim

Many insurance companies won't cover the procedure anymore unless it is has specific medical benefits to your son. It's a cosmetic procedure in 99% of cases.

My son is 2 weeks and I need to schedule his soon. I'm also having an issue with insurance and the Dr is asking for $500 up front, which I can't afford. I'd leave him as is, but my husband really wants to get it done. I'm really scared & nervous for my baby too. 😔 Good luck to you guys tomorrow. I hope he recovers quick & easy.

it's so much easier to take care of and you won't have to worry about the pain of a surgery. if he chooses to do it when he's older recovery will be easier with better pain management post-op.

I don't really like that. An uncircumcised male @Mirandag

why not just leave him intact?

🙏🙏💯 man I do too. Thanks mommy @mrsmoore

that is true I hope he has a quick recovery

Yea I'm so pissed. But I'm going to get it done. 2 months isnt as worse as 12 years. @mrsmoore

Really? That's so f***d up. I would be fuming

at that point if I had to wait that long I'd just wait till he's older and let him decide himself,I heard of hospitals doing that glad mine didn't I'd be mad

The hospital didn't know if his medical insurance would cover the surgery. Then he wanted me to pay 200$ up front. So I had to wait to get his medical card. Money hungry hospitals pissed me off too @pruisbianca

Why didn't you have it done when he was born?
