If your doctor won't even submit a letter of medical necessity for you, I'd look for another doctor. It's quite obvious he's just "looking for the money" rather then your best interest.

Hi, I have Qual Choice.They approved my abdominplasy. Dr took a couple pictures,but I had no rash at all. Was approved in 6 days. Good luck.

Chances are that he has not had a lot of patients that have had WLS. Not just any PS can work on us with the best results. He sounds like he has not had many, you might want to consider going to another surgeon and see what he is like.
