Is WLS considered a pre-existing condition?

I had VBG back on 3/4/08 and I've lost 93 lbs so far. I feel better than I've felt in many many years, no complications, and I'm about 18 lbs away from my goal. I don't regret my decision in the least. I have a hypothetical question, however. If I were to switch health insurnace at any point (new job, etc.), would my surgery be considered a pre-existing condition? Would it prevent me from being covered for anything--particularly if some day down the road something DID go wrong related to the surgery? Has anybody had any trouble like this? I'm just curious so at least I'm prepared mentally if it ever comes up.
