First appeal with Group Health- any suggestions?

 I have surgery (RNY) scheduled with Dr. Landers on Tuesday. I didn't know anything about him when I joined Group Health in January. I came over to GH as they would cover my surgery with a 35+ BMI and co-morbidities. My previous insurer would have required me to gain wait to a 40 BMI. 

Anyway, I was sold on Dr. Bock as he has an excellent reputation and a ton of experience. When I was offered a date with Dr. Landers, I began doing research on him. I've been very impressed with what I learned and am happy to have him leading my surgery.

I agree with the others that you should go back to your PCP or PA and make your case and appeal.
