I have Medicare. I called last week to set up an appointment with a plastic surgeon

I have Medicare. I called last week to set up an appointment with a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck and breast reduction. His sec. told me that Medicare is "no longer paying for ANY abdominal plastic surgery in this area." What's up with this??? I thought Medicare was easing up on it's limitations for plastics after RNY, NOT TIGHTENING up! I live in Virginia. Anyone know anything about this, or any alternatives I have? I have Tricare as a secondary insurance, but the sec said that Tricare will deny if Medicare doesn't approve. Thanks.
