What do I do if the Insurance Company denys me due to a pre existing condition

On 2-27-01 I was denied approval for my procedure with my Doctor. Their reason was because of a "Pre-existing condition" so they say. The only reason why they denied me was because prior to me attaining their insurance, I went to one of these non-referral weight loss doctor centers(Doctors Choice Weight Loss) to see if maybe the "medication thing" would work for me. This is OUTRAGEOUS!!! I am going through a serious state of depression and I am very discouraged about this whole thing now. I am still wanting very very much to have this surgery, but because of this sorry insurance company I have(BCBS Trigon) I have to wait until after 10-02-01 to have this surgery. Right now, money is becoming a problem for me and $350-$400 is a lot coming out of my pocket. Now if Mr. Lindstrom can somehow guarantee approval after this appeal letter is done, then I will scrap up the money. Can Obesity Law still help me?
