I guess really the long and short of it is that one has to document that the extra skin is causing issues. Be it skin breakdown and rashes, back pain, hernia or some other ailment. The insurance company will be looking for documentation of persistent issues that are not responsive to less invasive treatment.
What Red said...the plans vary so much is hard to say.
