    You could call them and ask but very likely they will cover it. You have gallbladder disease and its not 'elective' like RNY often is considered.

    Yes it should....as SoccerMomma said its not a elective. I had my RNY surgery and 10 wks after I had a really bad gallbladder attack and had to go under the knife again... I wish I knew to have a ultrasound done BEFORE RNY or I would of had all done at once. Mine was full of stones too but it never bothered me. You are luck to get all done at once.....good luck :)
