Terri70 37 Posted August 4, 2016 I signed up for Aflac yesterday. For accident and hospitalization. I know there is a 12 month time frame prior to a claim that anything can be considered "prior" illness or whatever but I'm hoping I can sneak a few in. lol Do any of you use Aflac? How helpful is it?

Sent from my SM-J700T1 using the BariatricPal App So do you think if my Policy start date is Oct. 1st 2016 and I have my RNY in say May 2017 that they might pay me? And what if the surgeon gets in there to do the RNY and decides to do a hernia repair or remove my gallbladder at the same time. Will they pay then? Thanks for the help in understanding. I really appreciate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
