If I self-pay, then the company adds WLS to their policy, could I get reimbursed?

Just out of curiosity I was wondering if someone could answer this question. I requested WLS, was denied, appealed and was denied again. I self payed for my surgery, and insurance covered my gallbladder removal. Now I am back to work and there are so many people I work with who are interested in having the surgery themselves. I really think the employees are going to pressure the company to cover it. (yes, they must have used me as a guinea pig to see if I would make it then they would have it.) I am wondering if the company changes the policy to cover WLS, can I make them reimburse me for my expenses? Alot of the older women have a lot of influence. I tried to get them to help me before the WLS, but no one really knew enough about it. Now they are willing to go to bat to have it covered. I feel cheated and ripped off because I fought for this for over 2 years. I am happy that other people will beable to have this as an option but I am pissed because I didn't have the choice. Does anyone know what I can do?
