Reconstructive surgery

I had my surgery approved with Cigna as my plan didn't have it as exclusion.

One of my surgeons mentioned that some reconstructive surgery such as the belly area can be medically approved but not arms or legs. I am really only thinking maybe of doing belly and boob that have lost mass and now sag even more, lol.

Questiins: anyone have these done and have medically approved?

Anyone have these done at same time? Curious of healing time if I do both at same time before I go back to work. I was back to work 5 days after sleeve

I've been looking into this also, and I have Cigna. They will only cover a pannectomy after proper documentation (pictures, notes) showing the pannus area is causing rashes. My pannus isn't causing rashes, so I am going to pay for a tummy tuck with Pannectomy out of pocket. It will be around $8,000. Still on the fence about the boobs :P

I had both procedures done. I didn't even think to look at insurance for the tummy tuck but they did cover the boob job. I think I was off for two weeks each time. I did not do them together.
