If there is an exclusion, would they still cover if medically necessary?

My husband is covered by Illinois United Healthcare PPO. I cannot find his policy book, but seem to recall an exclusion for obesity. But, I'm unsure. I know they have a pre-existing condition exclusion. Either way, is there anyway that they would cover surgery for obesity if it were a medical necessity? Has anyone had any sucess at all with dealing with them in this type of issue?
