Just thought I would share my recent experience with my life insurance. I have had it for may years now. Just recently my ins guy called and we were chit chatting, wherein I told him about my WLS. WELL, found out that because of my weight loss and all the medical conditions that I no longer have, I qualify for a rate reduction!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Thanks For The Info We Have Always Had Insurance Policies For My Husband Thru Work And Our Own But We Never Got A Policy On Me Because Of The Diabetes, Chlosteral, Weight, Etc So The Rates Were High. But That Is One Of The First Things We Want To Do Is Get A Policy On Me Once My Weight Is Really Low. So I Guess They Dont Care That You Had The Wls Thats Not An Issue Or A Problem? Thats One Thing I Was Afraid Of But Now Im Feel Better Nowing Its Not An Issue.

That's wonderful. I hadn't thought about that, but not too long ago, I met with my life ins. agent to buy more ins. coverage on me. They denied me a higher amount of coverage due to my weight, so maybe after this surgery, I can get back with him about a lower rate AND more insurance.

Wow. I read on another forum that someone tried to get life insurance and they denied them because they had WLS. Funny how different insurance company's can be!

It's my understanding that this applies to gastric bypass patients seeking health insurance, not life insurance.
