I got a letter of denial, What does this mean?

I got my letter from Anthem b/c b/s and it simply put stated that I was denied because there are no clinical findings to support my medical necessity for this surgery. Can you believe this???? Besides being 125lbs overweight i have high cholesterol, triglycerides, Acid reflux, patella femorol syndrome(my knees are not aligned right)so because of this I have early degeneration of the knees and arthritis.What was the number one thing my Orthopedic said I have to do??? You got it, LOOSE WEIGHT.I have constant leg pain and lower back pain.Am I not a good candidate for this surgery? I thought I was with just the weight itself! Any ideas? thanks Rebecca
