They will pay if you can prove medical necessity, which means document all back pain, rashes, etc. Go to an orthopedic surgeon, chiropractor, whatever, and have your PCP document all related complaints. Start building your case. Good luck.

My insurance co. paid for my TT because I was having another procedure done at the same time and my doc wrapped it up into one nice, neat package...he's awesome!! I digress. Anyway, some insurance will pay for skin removal if there is medical necessity...document any and all skin rashes, and low back pain caused by hanging skin...if you have a hernia, you have an even better shot...or if your ins. is like mine, and wouldn't allow my gall bladder to come out with my rny, six months later I was @ goal and having terrible gall bladder attacks...now I have no gall bladder, and a flat belly. Good Luck!! Have a Sparkling Day!! ~CAE~
