The doctor found two incisional hernias when he did my tummy tuck,

my question involves the fact that my insurance denied paying for my tummy tuck becaused they determined it not medically necessary,even though 3 other docs thought it should have been.I submitted proof of rashes and such,well they still denied it.So i took out a $5000 loan and prepaid for the surgery,while doing the tummy tuck the doc found two incisional hernias resulting from my bariatric surgery, both of which me and my doc could not feel prior to surgery because i still has a lot of fat and skin left in my belly area. Will the insurance reimburse me for any part of this surgery? Maybe the OR ,anestesia,and hospital overnight stay? Has anyone run into this situation?What steps do i take or does my doc submit something?I have bluecross federal employee insurance. Thanks for you help!!
