I had surgery 6/9/03 I started out at 340 lbs I am now 230 and I am a size 16 but due

heavy weight training I look smaller. My hubby had surgery on 7/28/03 he was 443 and is now 265 in only 9 months. The only loose skin we both have is the he has in the belly and he has a hernia. We both really need the tummy tuck. We both had surgery under bcbc of illinois ppo my job will be switching to united healthcare ppo next month. does anyone first of all know how to get the tummy tuck covered? How will the switching of insurance effect getting this covered, it is definitely reconstructive not cosmetic. Although we are not one year out my hubby is nearly at his goal of 250 he is 6'4 so we need to get approved now, especially with hsi huge hernia. If anyone has any information on how to get this covered please reply. Thanks!
