I have 4 more days till my surgery! I've lost 17 pounds so far on my pre-op diet. I'm feeling better and have more energy. Can't wait! I do have one question: I have been fighting this upper respiratory cold for over 2 weeks. It's getting better but not gone. Will they still do surgery if I'm...

Does anyone know how insurance companies look at pre-surgical weight loss? Seeing in the beginning of my journey I qualify for everything but what if I lose too much? Will they still go ahead with the surgery or does my ins. co. no longer cover it?
