IS OBESITY CONSIDERED A

I have been with Anthem BCBS for about 11 months now. I know that they have a policy that doesn't cover "pre-existing conditions" until after the initial 12 months with them. I have appointments with Dr. consultations all of this month. However, i'm afraid that ANTHEM will consider OBESITY a pre-existing condition and deny coverage. Then even if i had the operation AFTER the initial 12 months, my consultations were within the non-coverage period so they can deny even the operation!! I AM SO CONFUSED !!! Should i pospone all my operations till i'm over with the 12-month waiting period? Or is OBESITY a different issue seperate from other PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. Pleeeeeeeease help clarify this for me if you've ever had to deal with it, or if u have any info at all. Has anyone with ANTHEM faced this? THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH IN ADVANCE !!!!
