I received word my secondary insurance (BlueCross/Blue Shield of Kansas) has denied

my surgeon's reqest for WLS. My primary insurance is Medicare, as I am on disability. A letter, of course, was also sent to them. Haven't received a response, as of yet. It is my understanding that Medicare "cannot" pre-certify surgeries, etc. If that is the case, are they apt to deny or approve surgery later? Do you go ahead and have the surgery and hope for the best, or what?
