I've heard some are getting insurance approval for a belt lipectomy??!!

PLEASE, if there's anyone here who has gotten approval for this, how the heck did you do it? This what my plastic surgeon has recommended, but I figured I'd be lucky to get approved for an abdominoplasty, much less a belt lipectomy. Yet lately, I've seen posts from people who have. How? And if I were to submit a claim for the lower body lift and it was rejected, would I then have to submit another claim for an abdominoplasty, or would the insurance company come back with "No, we won't approve the LBL but you may have an abdominoplasty"? In other words, am I better off shooting for the moon on my first try and hoping they'll approve less as a compromise or am I better off to submit for something likelier to be approved? I would think that if they reject the LBL, I could try again for an abdominoplasty, no? Also, I have one more question - for those of you that have had tummy tucks, wasn't the excess skin on your back even odder looking in comparison to your flat front?
