Hernia, diastasis recti and panniculus causing combined pain, and how to get Medicaid to cover? How much out of pocket?

February 21, 2017
Asked By:Cailan in Seattle, WA

I have a diastasis recti of about 6" which causes pain, an umbilical hernia that causes pain and a growing panniculus that causes pain and in summer gets infections. Together they're beginning to really start to hurt all the time, both in regular life and when I try to exercise. I'm 5'9" and large-framed. Last July I weighed 303 pounds. Now I'm 250. What weight do I need to be to get these things done? What can I expect to pay cash and what might Medicaid cover? What can be done combined?
