How did you approach the ridiculous requirements of your insurance?

Just spoke to my medical "group" today to find out what were the exact requirements that were needed to get a consultation with a surgen. Among other things they told me that I needed to have been on a physcians supervised medical weight loss program for 6 months out of the last 2 years and that I needed to be on Meridia and Xenical for 3 months. Did any of you run into this as well. Will they really require me to take drugs that will sure, make me loose weight for a while just to gain back more? I also don't believe that they would think that anyone who has been overweight for so long hasn't tryed EVERYTHING already. I have PacifiCare and Pro Care IPA is my group. Thanks for the input:~)
