You'll only need about a week for recovery. Surely they can swing that. Why wouldn't it qualify for medical leave in the first place? I think they are thinking this is cosmetic like so many other people and insurance companies as well. Try telling them all of the co-morbidities you have and explain that they will likely be cured by having the surgery. Educate them about the surgery and obesity in general. May fall on deaf ears but it's worth a shot.
