So now that I’ve lost some weight I asked my life insurance to re-evaluate my rating to see if I can get a cheaper rate. Those jerks actually cut your weight loss in half because “the average person regains half the weight they lost.” Has anyone else run into this? Just irritated me. Sorry to vent.

I hadn't even thought about any discount for life insurance now based on a lower weight. Interesting.

Improved health, less medication and health issues are resolved. Shop for a new company with better rates.

I had no problem mentioning I was looking for better rates to my long-standing insurance company. All the sudden they wanted to try to compete for my business. They did not make the cut. lol

I am a retired insurance agent. Most companies require 1 year from date of surgery, but I have had several during my careeer that we requested a change in rating and they were approved and out underwriting was relatively strict.

These days 2 years is more common than 1 year. Although you should be able to get AD&D until it's been 2 years since your surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
