I was denied Insurance coverage from BC/BS.

My contract states ..."No benifits are provided for servces and supplies related to weight reduction programs ( except for surgery for morbid obesity for a life threatening condition.)....I have been taking 3 different meds, a total od 5 pills a day to control my blood presure, which by the way still happens to run about 160/96. Am I crazy, or is B/P a life threatening condition. Is this worth a shot at an appeal. and how do I go sbout it. I have an appt. with my family DR. next week,she is very supportive of this surgery.Sould she write an appeal letter for me, explaig that B/P is life threatening. and also is there anything that I can do as well? Thanks in an advance for your help.
