No rashes or health problems.How do I get insurance to pay for plastic surgery?

Hi everyone! I am 13 weeks out from WLS...open RNY. Have lost 55lbs, and I know SOMEDAY in the near future I will want to have a tummy tuck & breast lift. How can I get the insurance company to pay for it, if their criteria is "medically necessary"? I've never had (and still don't have) any problems with rashes or anything like that associated with my breasts or lower stomach. I am very tall (5'11") and my stomach has never "hung" like I read about. My weight has always been very evenly distributed. But don't get me wrong, I do have a "pouch" (hey, now I have two!! LOL) & my boobs DO hang!!!! LOTS!!! I HATE THAT!!! So....if there are no medical problems associated with these "problem areas", how can I deem this "medically necessary" for the insurance company? Any thoughts or ideas?.....bring 'em on!! Thanks a bunch guys! ***GretcheeGirl***
