I am a 57 yo female suffering from obesity. Why is my insurance company (BCBS) giving me such a hassle to do surgery? (photo)

I have been on so many diets to have lost 30 or 35 lbs and gain 40 or 50 back. My insurance company is giving me such a run around it is driving me crazy. I would like to have the sleeve surgery but my insurance company is giving me the runaround - why is that? In my plan it clearly states gastric bypass is covered but when I call or the doctor office call its not covered. What is the problem???
