Do I have a chance witj Unicare HMO?

My HMO has a very tough exclusion... it reads "Services primarily for weight reduction or treatment of obesity including morbid obesity, or any care which involves weight reduction as a main method for treatment. " I am just starting out and found out that this is really a hard thing to beat.... Do I have a chance? Or should I wait the 8 months until open enrollment comes around again and change insurace carriers to someone who will give me a better chance? My BMI is 54, so I am considered Super-Morbidly Obese, but the additon of Weight REduction as main method of treatment scares me! I do not have alot of Co-Morbids.... Asthma, incontience, undiagnosed sleep apnea and boarderline High Blood Pressure not requiring meds....... HELP ME PLEASE! Laura
