UDATE!

CAA travel insurance ---medical questionnaire -----section on bariatric surgery if it is under 12 months.

I just found out that a travel insurance questionnaire now asks if you have had bariatric surgery!

So any complications will not be covered?????

I suspected it would start. It was in it's own section ...specifically about bariatric surgeries.

Seriously? What is the company? I sell travel insurance all the time. If you are under 59 there are no medical questions and you only need 7 days of stability prior to departure. If you ever want a quote I can send you my email or cell in a PM.

Wow, great to have a contact! Thanks.

I have been told I need 30 days of stability (ie no change in dosage of prescription or new prescription) for something to be covered (like asthma).

7 days would be much easier. Lol.

Some companies want you to be stable for 3 months prior to departure. If you are 60+ it's 6 months.

I used to sell it for 1 company. If you've been stable for their time period it'll be fine.
