Sleep apnea only co-morbidity

I have BCBS/Illinois PPO. I talked to the insurance company and they informed me that they don't consider sleep apnea one of the co-morbidities for the weight loss surgery (otherwise I'm fairly healthy). My BMI is 45 and I meet all the other requirements. Was just wondering if anybody else has run into this problem.
