    Speaking in general terms since you do not say who your insurance is now.

    I don't think insurance will deny you but your surgeon might. WL surgeons tend to want people who really want to lose weight (not that you don't). Gaining weight will not up your BMI for insurance as your weight is measured from your intial appointment. Hang in there Bes and try not to drown your emotions in food.

    PS - I gained 5 pounds in the waiting process so I understand.
