What can I do to get insurance to pay for a tt?

I need a tummy tuck. My insurance company said they will pay if the dr. codes it as medically necessary. I am very careful about drying myself so I don't get rashes, so there really isn't anything in my chart about problems. I suppose it is really cosmetic (because it's so darned UGLY), but is there anything I can do or say to get the dr. to code it so insurance will pay? I think it should all be part of the gastric bypass package. If they approve one, they should approve the other. It all goes together. Help anyone???
