BCBS of TX via TRS active care 2

Hi all. I am posting as a follow up to many other posts regarding BCBS of TX via TRS active care 2 (for teachers in Texas).
I have just been informed by my surgeon's office and by BCBS TX that the TRS plan does not cover VSG, but does cover RNY and Lap Band. So, if you have this plan, you will have to choose between the RNY and Lap Band. As of this plan year, VSG is NOT covered.
I am disappointed because I have been in contact with BCBS TX and my surgeon's insurance people constantly since January and I am JUST NOW finding out that VSG is not on my plan, despite having said VSG in every single piece of correspondence since January.
Oh, well. RNY here I come! Probably will be better for me in the long run anyway!
