South Carolina Insurance & Bariatric Surgery Coverage

Hello all,
To anyone that lives in South Carolina, I'm looking for any insurance plans that cover bariatric surgery. From the research that I've done, I haven't found any that do. I don't qualify for any Medicaid plans, so I'm not sure what my options are at this point besides either paying out of pocket (which is a last resort possibility) or going outside the country. Any help regarding finding any insurance plan that could cover bariatric surgery or a way to get my current healthcare provider (BCBS South Carolina) to somehow cover my surgery is appreciated.
Thank you.
