Would I qualify for insurance to cover my panniculectomy? (photos)

January 12, 2023
Asked By:RoCoGirl2000 in Mooresville, North Carolina

Im 33 year old mother of 3 (done having children) I lost 60lbs and now I have this apron that is killing my back, makes in really hard to bend over for anything, when stretching - I would be able to touch my toes in a seated forward bend, but I cannot. It's very frustrating and I'm at my wits end. I'm currently stable at 190lbs 5'4 and haven't been able to lose more weight. We don't have a lot of money, but I'm severely unhappy with my body. My hope & prayer is that insurance will cover this!
