of concern is why u lost your insurance, did you loose your employement over your absence for this illness. if so you may have been violated of your fmla rights, both state and federal. you have cobra rights to see you thru recovery, and with group coverage prexisting conditions are not excluded such as this surgery and its coplications should any arrise.

I live in Fl also and last October went in search of individual coverage due to a HUGE increase in premiums at my hubby's job. I called UHC, BCBS, Humana, and contacted a broker. I am uninsurable due to the gastric bypass. There was one company(don't remember who) that was willing to cover me so long as I was 4 years post ANY complication and the policy would exclude anything to do with my digestive system for life. Of course this plan was crappy and cost a fortune. Needless to say, we still have coverage at my hubby's job @ a rate of 1000. per month for just he and I. You can not be denied group coverage leagally, your best bet is to find other employment.
