Most insurance companies do not cover tummy tucks. Some may cover a pani removal if you meet requirements like how far down it hangs and a medical history of infections, rashes, etc.

I was able to have the operating room paid for (time, doctor, operating room, anesthesia, etc) to have my port changed to a low profile port, and then my plastic surgeon rode off of that time paid for by my insurance to do my tummy tuck. My costs were about half of what it would normally have cost.

I had surgery in 2006 and it's not working for me either right now.My insurance no longer covers my fills and I paid 250 per fill only to keep ganing weight.Where is my restriction? I'm tight for like two days than nothing.I'm really frustrated right now.

Hi guys Ive been banded since 2006 lost over hundred pounds going from 256 to 155. My insurance no longer covers my fills so I pay 250 per fill and ive hand two of them and I have zero damn restriction and ive gained 30 damn pounds with the fils.I'm so scared that i'm going to end up being 256 again and I don't know why my band is no longer restricting me.It will work fine for a day or two than the restriction will go away.I was doing so good now I feel helpless and fat all over again.What is wrong with my band? smh so digusted.

I had my lapband in 2007. I now have lots of loose skin in my stomach area. Does Insurance cover a tummy tuck for lapbanders? I have BCBS of NC insurance. I thought I'd ask here first. I will eventually call my insurance company.  thank you

I'm so sorry about the loss of your daughter. That's terrible and you have my condolences. 

Congratulations on your success. Hope you heal up well.
