I m 5'5 and weigh 155lbs. I had surgery in June 4, 2002 at a starting weight of 246lb

I am very happy with the weight I am now,and although I am still losing about a lb a week, would be very happy if I never lost another pound. The problem I have is that I have ALOT of extra skin in my stomach area. I am only 21 years old so I didn't think I would have a big problem with excess skin, I have also had a baby before wls which makes the whole thing worse though I'm sure. I contacted my insurance company and asked them about what the requirements are for them to pay for a tummy tuck...their response was, that I need a doctor to send them a letter saying it is medically neccessary, well what does that mean? What makes it medically neccesary? and my other question is...can I have the tummy tuck and still have another baby later in life? I really value your opinions and will be waiting for your responses. Thanks!
