Does Insurance cover Plastics after weight loss surgery?

I am obviously going to need a tummy tuck after this is all said and done. I had twins with a C-section, so that sealed my fate right their. (big lie when they tell you your tummy muscles will be fine afterwords) My friend had at TT and it was like 6 grand. Not affordable for this girl who has three teenagers, Does anyones insurance cover tummy tucks? lifts and all the other plastics one may need to look put back together again after WLS?

I see alot of ppl getting it, all kinds of procedures, I know its really expensive, How is everyone paying for it? Out of pocket, financing it? Mexico? Just curious to weigh my options..

Some insurances do, you just have to check with yours!

If the skin is a problem your doctor needs to document it and then send it in. They don't always cover it though. I see a lot of people go to Mexico

I know bcbs says it covers extra stomach skin....
