Tricare/CHAMPUS paying for Pani?

Has anyone with Tricare Prime or Standard (Champus) had a Pani successfully covered. I know they exclude "tummy tucks" for cosmetic reasons, but I am asking about a panilectoly (sp?) to remove the excess apron after massive weightloss. I would think this would be reconstructive surgery. My hubby is Active Duty Prime Remote, and I am just Tricare Standard, or What is known as the old Champus. I have lost 70 lbs, post RNY, and am thinking I may need that excess skin removed, but I want to know what my chances of insurance covering it are. Anyone out there with Tricare of Champus that has had this paid for please give my your story. Thanks.
