Excluded-Any treatment for obesity

What do I do when the health plan book says that any treatment for obesity is not covered?? I called the insurance company prior to going to my first consult, and they said that gatric bypass surgery would be covered if nedically necessary. Now they are saying that in my husband's employer's health hand book is says, "Excluded Medical Expenses-Charges for any treatment of Obesity including diet control, diet supplements, enrollment in a health, athletic or similar club" I don't know if I should appeal or what? HELP PLEASE. Has anyone had this and still got approved??
