Has anyone had plastic surgery to remove the excess skin on their thighs?

I wanted to know if anyone has had plastic surgery to remove the excess skin on their thighs and if it was approved by your insurance company becuse of all the weight loss? If so, what code was used for the surgery by your plastic surgeon? My problem is I have lost 250 pounds and the hanging skin on my thighs is enormous and uncomfortable but my current plastic surgeon says he has never know the insurance to cover that skin removal. He can cover my stomach a tummy tuck the arms and even the breasts but has never had experience where insurance companies have covered the skin removal surgery for thighs. He said if I could provide an example like a patient who was covered by insurance he would then know how to word the letter requesting coverage and the code to use for the surgery or treatment. Please anyone if you have had this type of surgery let me know. Thanks so much.
