I had spinal fusion as a teen and currently have 3 children (two c sections). I've experienced lower back pain and was wondering if the weight from my stomach (its heavy) was affecting my spine. I saw a plastic surgeon today hoping to get liposuction and was told that I have severe diastasis recti. I don't want to get a tummy tuck but I am worried about the long term affect that the weight (from my stomach) will have on my spine. If it does affect my spine fusion will insurance cover the tummy tuck?
