If we have a lapse in ins. coverage, is our WLS considered pre exisiting?

Ok, here's what I was wondering. I am a full time student and I'm almost Done!!!! But, I am covered under my mother's insurance company until one of two things happen. 1.) I turn 25 (which will happen Feb. 2003) or 2.) I'm no longer a full time student (i.e. graduation--which is sent for the end of spring 2002). So, here's my main question. Chances are I will have some time between graduation and actually starting a new job. So, that would result in time of being uninsured. So, is it true that if I have ANY lapse of insurance coverage, that I then have to notify the next insurance company of my WLS and then it's counted as a pre-existing condition--and that could result in a denial of coverage??
