Ummmmmm,  You would not want to try and "make up" a symptom or problem in order to get coverage, that would be insurance fraud. A doctor would be in trouble too, for doing that.  

You may find a document on my webpage helpful in getting coverage however:

I had 5 babies and lost 130+ pounds.... I don't have a lot of extra skin and have had no rashes. I was approved by my insurance company for panni removal. Apparently it was because of the amount of my weight loss and the pictures that my PS sent in with the request.

Every insurance company is different.... some won't even approve with lots of skin and bad rashes.
