Curious, has anyone gotten a waiver on the 6 month nutritional requirement if you have a hiatal hernia and gerd?

[For reference, I technically, I have 6 months done (6 months through former insurance, 10 months of weight watchers aug 2016 - may 2017), and doctors appts in aug, sept, oct, march, april where my weight was taken. Regardless, I am curious as my insurance said it might be possible to get a waiver for things like that.]

Not sure how that works but I had gerd pre op and I had a hernia operated on the same time my RNY. I had no idea I had a hernia it was discovered during surgery.
