Alright, I feel a little silly asking this but...What is a "pannis",apron etc?I looked in the "big dictionary" and in a nursing dictionary but could not find the word. Is it the area where pubic hair grows? Thanks, Sue

it is skin that hangs down like an apron on lthe lower belly. often hangs down in front of the pubic area.

There are a lot of doctors that take medicare. I have it and they do cover Panniculectomy and breast reduction. I'm in the process of them fixing to summit mine to the insurance. But take LOTS of pictures for the doctor of any and all RASHES!! And take them with you. I also took pictures of myself holding the excess skin but the doctor will do this as well, they did me. I just had to wait 3 months to be completely away from second hand cigarette smoke. I have another 15 days and will be back at the doctor for them to submit the documentation to the insurance company. Start with your bypass doctor if you had that. They will have the doctors that take medicare. That's where I started. I had to go to him for 3 months to document that it was medically necessary and then got a referral from him as well as on from my general practitioner. Hope this helps.
