Will Anthem BCBS deny surgery for significant weight loss during the 6 Mon diet?

I had my initial consultation with the surgeon on July 11. At that time, my weight was 279. Today, my weight is 248. Will Anthem deny coverage for the surgery if I continue to lose weight at the same rate I've been losing weight based on changes to my diet and exercise routine?

    That is a good question for your insurance, and your surgons office. My insurance wants my BMI to be 40 on surgery day. I'm 5'7" and 266 right now.
