Exclusion does not specifically address surgery or morbid obesity

My husband's health insurance states:"No payment will be made under this Plan for expenses incurred by you or your dependent: for charges for the treatment of obesity, weight reduction or dietetic control". The bariatric center I consulted called our insurance and were first told that the procedure was covered benefit. Two weeks later when they checked again, were told it was not and would not be covered, don't bother us again and everything came to a screetching hault. Since the center was told there was an exclusion, I was told not to bother trying to appeal. Any body come across something like this? Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
