I was denied surgery by ins,

I was contacted by phone by the nurse case manager this morning that I was denied. She said my co-morbidities according to the nurse was not what the ins considers life threatening. She was very nice and sympathetic to me. I have several dx; Diabetes, Hypertension, Arthritis, and Gastritis to name a few. I am scheduled for a sleep study my surgeon suspects I have sleep apnea. Anyone have that considered as a life threatening condition? There is no weight loss exclusion in my policy it just states "No treatment for obesity will be covered unless it is life threatening"- Thanks for all/any responses. Kristee
