I have Anthem BCBS. I work for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, but I know that my doctor's office (Dr. Anderson) mentioned that Anthem was usually pretty good about covering. There was an exclusion, but it was worded so that it wouldn't cover the surgery EXCEPT for in the case of morbid obesity (that's me!). I was approved in 4 days. I have heard that United Healthcare (what I had before BCBS) is tough to get approved, but I will bet there are people who have it and were approved. Even BCBS can attach exclusions to policies so that it won't cover wls. You can check with HR people, I don't know how you can pose that question, though, without them thinking you would be on sick leave once your ins. kicks in. Good luck
