Anyone with BC/BS of Illinois had surgery since they changed their guidelines?

I was denied surgery back in October of last year. I am appealing thru Walter Lindstrom with a 25 pages appeal letter that he sent on January 5th. I am still waiting. I thought they only had 30 days to respond and it has been 60. I asked my lawyer if I should contact them and he said no that he had asked them to only talk to him. People that I work with who have the same insurance as me are getting their surgeries approved. At least one of these persons has no co-morbid conditions and a BMI of 40. I on the other hand have a BMI of 47 and I have 5 co-morbid conditions. My question is this: is there anyone else out there with BC/BS of Illinois who have had their surgeries approved and would you be willing to share your info with me so I can determine if I am being discrimated against? Thanks for all your replies.
