Missing 1 of 5 year history

I am currently in month 5 of my 6 month program before my doctor submit's for insurance approval, and I am starting to get anxious. I have UHC, and they require 5 consecutive years of a BMI >40. Well, in 2015 I was breastfeeding and lost a ton of weight, bringing my BMI down to 35. I gained it all back in 2016. I am so worried that I am going to get denied. Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!
