How can I use Hpopnea to my advantage?

I recently underwent a sleep study where I learned I have Hypopnea. The tech told me this would likely develop into Apnea unless I lose some weight. I am getting ready to submit my first appeal. How can I present Hypopnea to my Insurance company as a co-morbidity?
