Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Yes, but most insurance plans classify it as elective and cosmetic. The only way it's generally covered is if you start developing skin infections under the pannula (the hang). It's also a very painful surgery. There's a developing movement to use the tissue from Pannulectomies though for donor skin and I'd like to see a trade tissue for the surgery kind of deal happen.
