When my hubby had to go through it 2 odd years ago, he was denied by Cigna HMO. They were tough, for the same reason, even though my husband was 454 lbs and has had medical weight loss attempts since he was 9 years old! As with you, he hadn't had anything for the previous two years before he tried for approval. Fortunately, we had 2 insurances, one from each of our jobs. Blue Cross HMO approved him a month after he was denied by Cigna.
