Looks like no surgery for me

I had made up my mind last week after doing more research and talking to people who had surgery. I'd decided on Dr. Teng after finding him to be highly recommended in my area. I called up my insurance company to make sure everything would be covered and I was told yes. So I made my appointment for November 1st. I was nervous and excited. Then I got a call from Dr. Teng's office on Thursday letting me know that they had called my insurance company (I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Washington) and they have a clause in their policy that NO bariatric procedures are covered period. I called the insurance company myself again and after speaking with TWO different people I got two different answers. So, I sent an e-mail to my HR department asking them if they could confirm with the insurance company what is covered and what isn't. I'm still waiting for hear back from them but at this point it's looking like no. Since I can't go the cash route, I'm thinking I'm SOL unless anybody else has a suggestion. Thanks!
