Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removes fat and tightens the abdominal muscle, while a panniculectomy ( panni ) only gets rid of the pannus (apron of hanging skin over the waist)

I have anthem bcbs and they will cover the panni if you've got issues and you are at least 18 months from surgery and 6 months at a stable weight. I'm looking forward to June so I can seek approval.

They say blue cross is a little lenient on things. I know they only had me do a 6 month diet before surgery, no weightloss required. So who knows?

Hi Aime,
I had a lower body lift after weight loss. It was covered. My insurance at the time was bcbs. This was back in 2001. I don't know what might have changed since then.
Good luck,
AlLee

Subject: [After Weight Loss Surgery] Removing Excess Skin
Hi,
I had gastric bypass surgery almost eight months ago and am doing great. I have lost 110 pounds and am feeling better than I have ever felt before. I met with a plastic surgeon yesterday to begin formulating a plan to remove the excess skin, as there is a lot. I wanted to give myself plenty of time to save up for what I knew would be an expensive surgery(s). Much to my surprise the surgeon said that it is extremely rare for insurance to cover any part of the surgery aside from breast reduction, if I can qualify for it. So, I am wondering if any of you have had the surgery and, if so, were you able to get it covered by insurance.
Thank you!
Aime
