How do I get the insurance company to pay for a body lift?

I have gone through my weight loss surgery and lost 150 pounds. I am only 25 years old and don't want to live with this skin hanging all over me the rest of my life!!!! But I don't have 10k or 20k to pay for skin removal surgery!!!! I live in Indianapolis,IN. Is there anyone who can help me!!

Much of it depends on your insurance policy's level of coverage.  But generally one has to prove medical necessity.  By that I mean you have to have documented evidence that the excess skin is causing on going physical problems that is not responsive to less invasive treatment; skin rashes and breakdown, yeast infections, back pain, and the like are all common grounds for insurance approval.  You might want to take a look at Dr. LoMonaco's website.  He has a couple of excellent articles posted there on getting insurance approval.  You might also want to look into using a plastic surgery resident training program; many offer reduced cost surgeries.  Many here have used resident training programs and had excellent care and results.
