Typical, deny the one time procedure that has fixed cost and assign her to ongoing psychotherapy that will eventually cost more and only may fix her mind, not her worsening back.- report abuse

Her problem can be fixed for FREE by diet and exercise. Why should german taxpayers pony up for her lack of self discipline?- report abuse

Hmm Diet and excersize doesn't always Cure big breasts.. I will have big breasts either way. So this ruling is beyond incomprehensible. And changing ones habits typically has little to do with breast size unless morbidly obese.. even then. She does need Psychological intervention and learning of portion control.. and excersize habits..but at that point she would need massive reconstruction surgery.- report abuse
