Unable to Get Approved by UHC

I had weight loss surgery and lost 120lbs and am currently at 240lbs, I wanted to get the procedure done to help with back issues and issues with constant skin irritation.
I went in for a consultation and even though I had a referral from 4 different doctors offices I was turned down by United Healthcare, they stated it was not a covered service.
Has anyone else been approved by them?

My Blue Cross won’t cover it either - don’t know if my company picked a plan where no plastic surgery is covered or what.
