  1. Hi there. Congrats on your weight loss...that's quite an accomplishment! I'm not sure what procedures you're interested in having done. I know health insurance generally covers a panniculectomy and that's about it; a tummy tuck is not covered. None of my procedures were covered by insurance; I was self-pay for everything. I am in grad school, so money isn't plentiful, but the excess skin was really bothering me. My surgeon is Prasad Sureddi and he has offices in Waterbury and Southbury. My first surgery with him was abdominoplasty/tummy tuck. That area had by far the most excess skin so I wanted to tackle that first, and that surgery was in the summer of 2007. We are having a thunderstorm right now so I think I will send this off to you and then send another one with more info. :)
