When is diastasis recti considered a medical necessity so covered by insurance? (photos)

October 25, 2017
Asked By:Rechandle in Gainesville, FL

I went to general surgeon today thinking I had a huge hernia, but found out it is diastasis recti, and that they no longer do the repairs on this. I look nine months pregnant, I am in agony, can't breath well, and my whole stomach region hurts. I can't bend over or exercise so I have put on 100 lbs. Lots of flab and I feel completely deflated that I may have to remain in this discomfort. It has been ten years now and my stomach grows larger and larger.
