I just spoke with Antonio at Novamar and he was super helpful. In a nut shell, the policy does not cover any expenses in the US. If you have a complication while in Mexico during the policy period you purchased (i.e. 5 days, etc.) then you are covered for another 12 months afterwards up to $160k. However, this care has to take place in Mexico. Insurance covers a plane ticket back to Mexico but will not pay for any emergency expenses in the states. Hope that is helpful to everyone. I think I will buy a 5 day policy and also look for something that is valid in the unlikely event I need care when back home.

I have looked at this insurance but I am confused by the coverage time. They way I read it you are buying coverage for up to 30 days for the price quoted which depends on the coverage "Term" So if i am correct for a 10 day "Term" I would be covered up to $160K for ten days.
Is this correct.
Thanks

I will be getting this. I am so surprised more people aren't on this chain. Everyone should get this! Thanks for all your help.

Great! So if I land Wednesday night and leave Sunday day, I purchase 5 days of coverage and this is valid for 12 months after I return to the states regardless of when a potential complication arises? If a complication arises within those 12 months that specific issue will be covered for a lifetime. Only complications not covered are those that arise after 12 months? Truly fantastic!

The insurance covers you both in Mexico as well as when you return to the US.

I am VERY interested in purchasing medical insurance for my surgery scheduled 8/20/15 in Mexico. In reading this article, I am not sure if this insurance will cover me for a period of time when I return home to the United States? Or is it only valid while in Mexico? Thank you!

I had the same concerns. My doc does a 90% sleeve. That's... A LOT. I figured my chances were better living long term with 10% of my former stomach than all the weight related health problems I'd developed after I turned 40, (and that's when things really began to go down hill for me health wize). Today at 48, after about a 95 pound weight loss, I'm the healthiest I've ever been. Free from the 10 pre-op prescriptions for cholesterol, BP, anxiety and asthma with normal everything. If I have to drink a couple of Ensures a day when I'm a senior citizen, so be it!

I am considering being sleeved. I'm in my mid-thirties and I'm wondering if there are any long term risks to having so much of your stomach removed? Hopefully I have another 50-60 years left to live and I'm feeling scared that removing such a large portion of my stomach could be detrimental years down the road. It must be safe or people wouldn't do it so often. I know this procedure is relatively new so maybe they don't know 40+ years. Did anyone else ask about this? Would love feedback!!!
