Life Insurance Options Post-Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Prior to surgery, many times, I'd been turned down for life insurance nearly everywhere.

Reasons cited were weight, fatty liver issues, and in one case slightly elevated blood pressure (though blood pressure is not normally a thing for me).

Wondering if anyone has been down the same road, and found some luck post surgery. I'm around 108 lbs down now... not quite enough to start shopping, I think, but I'm hoping to get a decent policy in the next six months or so.

Welcome

you are one of the latest and greatest new member to the century club :)

108 lbs down!!!!

wow!!!!

party dance, party dance

the physical problems you had - helped you get approved for WLS

now as these physical issues (and others) improve or go away

life insurance will be more available to you!!!

never too early to nose/snoop around a couple of insurance companies

if you feel comfortable - talk to an agent about WLS, your life et al

"nothing ventured, nothing" gained" ( expression my mom would say ;) oooops no pun intended, really )

as your weight goes down, you will not be as much of a risk

therefore your premium will be less :)

you are doing a great job

keep up the good work

kathy

congrats

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
