Do some insurances cover surgery to fix diastasis recti? If I get a tummy tuck would it fix this problem?

Asked By:mina54 in Kansas City, MO

i think I have Diastasis Recti. I’ve had two kids. The lower part of my stomach is heavy and hangs. I started to excersice but I think it made things worse cause that’s when I started to get severe lower back pain/stomach pain.its very hard to move around,get up from sitting or laying. I also have siatica so it makes things worse. Questions are,if I get a tummy tuck would it fix this problem? And would insurance cover the procedure? And if not what are my other payment options?
