    Default Panniculectomy anyone?

    So after loosing 120 pounds the lower part of my abdomin (aka apron) needs to be removed. I’m calling around tomorrow to get started on a panniculectomy and try to get approved. I was wondering if anyone else had done this and if so what did you have to do to get approved through your insurance? Also how long did you take off work and how painful was it? How good were the results afterwards? Thanks everyone for helping me out!

    I have not but I have heard that in order for it to get approved through insurance you have to have medical necessity. So it would need to be causing rashes or what not. Best is to contact your insurance and flat out ask.
