How can I get approved for a panniculectomy?

svetap
Im 5'10 268 pounds and i want to get a panniculectomy. My insurance covers it and i wanted to convince them that i need to get it done and i have hard time coping with my belly. Nothing fits clothes wise and its the only part of my body i cant loose weight on. I also started to have rushes under the fat. What can i say or do to be approved?
