Panniculectomy (fat apron removal)

Has anyone here had this procedure (not tummy tuck or abdominoplasty - but panniculectomy specifically)?

I'm considering getting it done and would love to hear about experiences, etc.

• Did insurance cover it?

• What was the cost?

• How long was recovery and what was that like?

• Did you have complications at all?

• Was there a weight loss requirement? For example, did you have to be at or below a certain BMI before they would do it?

• Did you wait until you reached your goal weight?

• Was it worth it overall?

Also, for those that suffer from this same problem (panniculus/fat apron) - how are you coping? I find that mine gets worse with the more weight I lose in that it hangs lower and tends to cause more problems, like making exercise somewhat difficult (from the "swaying") and causing rashes. I also get really insecure when it's accidentally touched - basically it sometimes ruins my sex life.
