In the great lakes states, it's called a spare tire, or more frequently, a dunlap, not only because Dunlap makes tires, but "because yore belly dunlap over yore belt."
A panniculectomy is known as a lap job, though, rather than a dunlap job.
I don't recall hearing either term since moving to Pennsylvania.
