    Hi everyone!!! I hope all is well.

     

    After a bariatric Surgery/gastric bypass procedure and a patient loses over 100lbs/has a lot of loose skin............. does that SAME Surgeon perform a tummy tuck and a loose skin removal for the patient/ does health insurance cover it?

    I will be sure to ask the Surgeon when I have my initial meeting with him/her 2 months from now. 

    Any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

      No, different surgeons. A plastic surgeon does the tummy tuck and skin removal. You would have to check with your insurance for coverage because they are all different. Some cover panniculectomy (loose skin hanging from the abd) but most will not be covered.
