Hello! I'm Jody, from West Virginia. I'm just trying to find out if PEIA ever approves any of the weight loss surgeries with a letter of medical necessity from the doctor? I have HBP, Diabetes II, sleep apnea, morbidly obese and pulmonary problems (unrelated to weight).

Hi Jody! Welcome. What is PEIA? I live in WV also, in the eastern panhandle.
The best way to find out what you want to know is to locate and get your hands (or eyes online) on a copy of your insurance benefit 'book' for the calendar year 2016. Without seeing that, it is hard to know that answers you're asking for. (Assuming PEIA is your insurance plan)...

Some people with a compassionate PCP will fudge the records (i.e. not browbeat you to actually lose weight). I don;t know of anyone who got the insurance company to concede (the whole purpose of the diet is so you get frustrated and drop out of the program so they don't have to pay for WLS) but perhaps there are some.
Sorry yours is a YEAR. Most are half that
You could do self pay as I did with Esquerra in MX and get it done next month for far less grief
