Co-morbidities enough for approval with Aetna Open Choice?

I'm 5'5 1/2" & 240# BMI 39 (about) I have only been on one dr rx'd diet (Meridia) and he didn't even do a follow-up even though my BP was spiking. Have always been overweight & have dr files proving that. Have L4-L5 ruptured disc (5 epidurals, so far & taking Vioxx & Lortab daily), degenerative disc disease, insomnia (taking Halcion),heel spurs (in the past)(all dr. documented)stress incontinence, swelling feet & ankles, possible hernia (lots of heartburn, reflux feeling) and lovely snoring started lately. These last 4 or so have not been dr documented. I have 1st consult w/surgeon April 15th, but am anxious about getting approval. Have heard both good & bad about Aetna. The Vioxx that I am taking daily is putting pounds on me fast, so I might be about 40BMI by the time I see the surgeon. GOD what is wrong with me...I'm wanting to gain weight!?!? Help...please give advice
