Hi simplelife,
I'm really sorry to hear about all that you've been through.
Unfortunately, insurance companies don't usually cover aesthetic surgery or its consequences. Here's a thread with more info: Is It Possible to Have Insurance Cover Implant Explantation?
However, you should absolutely check with your provider, as every insurance company in different. Also, they may deem it medically necessary because of your poor health. There's no way to know unless you ask.
Good luck and please let us know how you're doing.
