panni

I'nm new and just thinking about a TT.  What is a Panni?  i figured since my WLS was self pay my TT woul dbe too, looks like some of you get panni's covered.

A Panniculectomy is the removal of the hanging skin of your midsection.  It often does not include the muscle repair of a TT and is also not always as effective.  If you have a lot of hanging skin, it is worth it to submit your info (through your doctor or plastic surgeon) to your insurance and they do sometimes cover th procedure.  My ins covered and extended panni (hip to hip) with muscle repair. 

Good luck!
