2nd appeal with NJ Horizon BC BS

[m_kuiphoff 1]

Hi started this journey in Dec. 2015. Went through 1 appeal that was presented from my surgeons office. I called Horizon twice this week and they told me I need to send more information I'm 5'4 and 205 my BMI is 39.5. I have high blood pressure, veinous insufficency, been going to pain management for 1 1/2 years for 2 herniated disks and a tear above another and I'm on two different protonics for gastritis. I never mentioned the gastritis condition before, do you think it might put me over the top with the second appeal? Would appreciate any input. I don't want to throw in the towel.
