the best diagnosis for insurance is going to be infection under the flap caused by constant wetness.

I listed lower back pain and persistant infections in and around the belly button. The way skin hung it squeezed my belly button together.. I would sweat and get this yeasty infection. Kind of nasty... I did get the surgery an it helped tremedously. Good luck!

The back pain might help your cause, but often backpain is hard to prove (especially is origin). Your best bet is to have your PCP document every single rash or skin breakdown. Many insurance companies require at least 3 mos of documented rashes etc. Your belly droop (best name I could come up with) will probally have to hang at or below a certain point. Go to your INS. Co website and try looking for the preauthorization form, it may state exactly what things have to be like to get approval. I submitted my papers in April and got an approval on the first try. I will be having surgery in December I think. Good luck to you and I hope this helps.
