I am type 2 diabetic and considered obese because of my size and height. I've tried water aerobics, zumba, work outs at gyms but my middle stays.
Answer: Is Liposuction Covered By Insurance? Liposuction is not covered by insurance and you are not a candidate for liposuction. You may need bariatric surgery to help improve your weight and diabetes. I suggest discussing this with your internist and considering a consultation with a medical nutritionist as well as a bariatric physician. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Liposuction In general, it is best to consider liposuction as a means of contouring areas that are resistant to diet and exercise not as a means for weight loss. In addition, liposuction removes fat, but will not address the excess skin. Insurance companies consider procedures that will address medical conditions like chronic irritation within a skin fold secondary to excess/hanging skin. In your case, I would recommend meeting with a nutritionist, medical weight loss clinic, or your local hospital clinic in order to treat your concern of excess weight. Once treated, you would likely be better served by having excess skin and fat removed.
