Life Insurance after Bypass

[Lori1964]

Sorry I know this is a bit of a random question but I am a well organised type of person and I know that my current life insurance policy expires within the next 2 years. I was just wondering if anyone who has had a bypass has tried to take out a new life policy and if the bypass has caused them any issues with it?

Also while I am thinking what about travel insurance does the bypass cause a problem with this?

Many thanks in advance xxx

ive tried to get life insurance since banding but because i had plastics ops upcoming i was classed as a high risk and they was going to charge me silly prices even though i had lost weight, i may try again in the near future.

Oooh good question!

I'd never even thought of that. Keen to hear of any experiences people have had with this.

Just rang for life insurance and they said they would not accept me within 6 months and then it would be at a very high premium for 3 years! hows everybody else going on with life insurance?

Here we go, we have a major operation to save our lives and this is what happens....... damn.

I have never been able to get cheap L/A as I had a cone biopsy (which was clear) when I was 25, I am now 62, think of all those years premiums they have missed......

I already had life assurance and rang after my op to tell them, and they said it makes no difference if you already have a policy, cos they go by your health at the time you take your policy out
If you're due for a new one i've no idea though

I have been in touch with a travel insurance company about getting cover for my holidays and I disclosed that I had had the bypass and also that I was referred by my Doctors for the surgery. That apparently made all the difference, they will not cover it if you weren't. I don't know about life insurance as I haven't had cover for years!
