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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
