To all of my vets!! Did anyone have to get a tummy tuck after a huge amount of weight loss? If so, did your insurance cover it, As it being Medically Necessary? I know some people said they snapped back without a tummy tuck and others had very loose skin.

I've looked into having insurance pay for the plastics, but everything I've researched has said it is very, very difficult to do.

They won't pay unless it's genuinely affecting your physical health.

Bummer.

Some insurance companies cover it f it affects your health or mobility, some have specific criteria--e.g. Mine said the pannus had to pass your pubic bone, others have clauses that exclude it in all cases. You have to check your specific policy.
