Hello

I have independence blue cross/keystone. Does anyone know the process and if they even accept the surgery?

Even within the same insurer, different plans can have different coverages. I'd say the best first step is to call the number on your card and ask your insurer directly if your plan covers bariatric surgery, and if so, what the requirements are.
