Life Insurance... Any success getting a good rate since WLS?



Recommended Posts

Background I tried to get life insurance when my son was born 7 years ago. I was in my 30s overweight and on many medications. Needless to say the rate was terrible and I passed. Now I am in my 40s and normal BMI with no HBP, no issues with cholesterol and really only taking prevacid.and allege meds. So has weighing less help anyone? I am the picture of health but assume my medical history and age could hurt me still. Let me know what your experience has been.

I'm curious about this. This was one of my motivations to lose weight, to get decent life insurance rates.

Same here.... It has been my motivation for 7 years. I actually bring in over half the income. Still close to 50/50 but tips in my favor. Loss of my income would really hurt my family.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
