Hi. Congratulations on your success! I've had luck with United Healthcare and Aetna covering some of the tummy operations. Check other past questions about what members say about the approval process. No matter what company, they all need to have MEDICAL NECESSITY proven to them. This means that you must have a documented skin rash from loose skin, back problems, or other issues that negatively affect your health. That's the most important determinant. Good luck ! JL
