If you're located near Dallas. Have you tried Kim's Bariatric? They did all the paperwork for me, an on appeal, my revision was approved. I didn't have any health issues except high blood pressure. My insurance is BCBS of Texas too.

Many people with bariatric surgery exclusions save their money and go to Mexico as self-pay for the surgery. There is a whole forum here for it. You can get a package deal for $5K or less.

Wow ok I will check, thanks

Unfortantly an exclusion is an exclusion. Insurance wont pay for it if theres an exclusion. Maybe you can find a good cash price. Where are you located?
