I am wondering if anyone gained weight to meet their insurance guidelines.

I was denied by my insurance company, then they upheld their decision in my appeal. Their policy states 100lbs overweight with documented comorbidities, or 200% of ideal weight without such documented comorbs. I didn't understand that 200% of ideal body weight was not 200% OVER ideal body wieght. So what it came down to was that I was a few pounds under their requirement. So, in a short amount of time I gained the weight. I weighed today, and my surgeons office sent in the paperwork from scratch. I am wondering if anyone else was forced to to this? Did your insurance give you a hard time? My surgeons office says that there is no way that they can deny me now because I meet their guidelines, but having been through the mill already, I am not so sure. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
