Is Medically Necessary Liposuction.. Ever Covered by Insurance?

I have never had an insurance company cover liposuction, no matter what the reasons are.  I suspect they would want you to try to explore other methods of weight loss first.  

I'd also recommend seeing your GI specialist to see if anything else can be done for your troublesome GERD.

 

Best wishes,

I'm sure this is not the answer you were looking for but liposuction for your abdomen would not be covered by your insurance as they would consider it a cosmetic procedure.  You should explore all avenues to help you lose weight and reduce your abdominal bulge.  Liposuction is not and should not be used as a weight loss procedure.  The effort put into your weight loss may be difficult but is needed and will pay off in many other benefits as well.

Being overweight will not be corrected by liposuction. Once the surgery is done, you will regain weight if your calorie consumption and exercise regimen doesn't change. To say that losing weight will not redistribute the volume of fat is probably not correct. Once weight is reduced, and the fat diminishes, the shape will improve and your symptoms will be addressed. This will give you a long term solution to your problem. Seek consultation with a nutritionist to help guide you through the process and possibly use a trainer to embark on a healthy exercise routine.
