Hi, I read your question and I think you would get much more response if you changed your question so people will come and read it all. You desire much info, but it is not clear or hooking to people when reading the question. I don't have an answer for you, but I did read recently by someone else that they had reconstructive tummy tuck and it was covered by ins. So I do know there are some people out there that have info you can use. Good luck to you!
