What are my chances in getting approved?

Under the Blue Cross Blue Shield plan at my work it states under exclusions: "treatment, services and supplies in connection with obesity, weight reduction or dietetic control, except for morbid obesity and disease etiology." Does this mean I may have a chance or not? I'm confused by the wording. What is the difference between morbid obesity and just plain obesity...what qualifies you to be morbidly obese? I don't have this insurance (I have Touchpoint, formerly United Health HMO) but could switch to this in October if I want to. But I don't want to switch if I have little or no chance at getting wls.
