I was denied bariatric surgery. Do I qualify?

mzdawnblaque
I am 46 years old, my current weight is 262lbs., I was recently diagnosed with Pre-Diabetes, I have sleep apnea, and I have at least one episode of diverticulitis a year. I don't believe that my insurance have all on my medical records since the decision was based on a doctor who saw me once and was only aware of my weight and pre-diabetes. (Just switched physicians). Can I request that my case be reevaluated?
