Question about insurance coverage

I was banded on March 10th. Ive lost 37# as of Friday the26th. Im off my blood pressure meds also. Im wondering if the surgery is considered a reason to be denied coverage. When I had to pay my own health insurance I was denied by every company because of pre-existing conditions. Pennsylvania has a high risk pool which is how I got insurance. Now my "co-morbidities are gone(still overweight), the cutoff weight for me was 250# to have regular coverage(not high risk pool), Im wondering when I get to 250# or under are they going to deny me because I had the surgery? I think they asked about surgeries in last 5 years on the applications. I would like to have my wife quit her job(she works mainly for benefits)so we can focus on our plumbing business. Any input would be appreciated.
