I started the quest for my lapband in August 08. I have Aetna Insurance and went through all the 3 month required visits, etc.... In december I found out I was approved. I have my surgery scheduled for 02/26/09. But, here is my dilemma. During the approval process my husband was laid off from his job. He received a severance package so I am still approved and fully covered until 03/27/09 at which time we will have to switch insurance companies. My concerns are what if I have complications after 03/27/2009? It is likely my new insurance company will consider it pre-existing. So, had anyone ever had this problem or have any of you done the surgery with no coverage? I was so excited to get this done, but now I am having serious doubts. Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.
