Getting insurance AFTER surgery

I had Lap Band in March and it was covered by my insurance, Aetna, including fills. Unfortunately, my insurance was through my old employer via Cobra, so now I need to get new individual insurance. I've been turned down for new insurance already by a few plans , including Aetna, because I need to be one year post-op. I am very nervous now about not having coverage and had no idea this was going to be a problem. Does anyone out there know of insurance plans that cover us after surgery?

Thanks!
