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

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.

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.
