has anyone with Blue Cross California HMO been covered for surgery?

I definitely want this surgery. I am a 30 y.o female , 5ft and 257lbs. I have struggled with my weight my whole life and have tried sooooo many diets and programs, always losing a little but not being able to keep it off. I turned 30 in sept and can feel my body not being able to deal with the weight anymore. I have problems sleeping, can barely get up the 12 steps to my front door and am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. Most people have told me I would have to switch to PPO first but I was wondering if that's necessary. Also my primary care physician keeps telling me to eat right, go to the gym and that I don't need the surgery since I haven't had any kids yet. Anybody have any advice?
