Besides diabetes, high blood pressure and of course a high BMI , what are some of the other qualifications the ins co uses to make their decision.?

My BMI didn't meet my insurance requirements, so for me sleep apnea was my co.

Each insurance policy and company can vary a lot. What co-morbidities qualify you for surgery should be listed in your member handbook or plan document. If you can't find yours, call your insurance company and ask for a copy. This is the sort of document you definitely want to see in writing.

Other co-morbidities that I have seen include high cholesterol and arthritis -- but you definitely need to get the specific list for your policy. Good luck!
