Travel Insurance post Bypass

[Dee717]

Hello All,

I hope you’re well and doing your best on your various journeys.

It’s been 5mths since my emergency triple CABG and recovery has been slow but it’s one day at a time.

I was considering booking a little trip away as a little treat hitting 6mths and my Doc saying I can fly again but I’m absolutely flabbergasted that my travel insurance has gone up nearly 11times as a result of declaring the Op with the BP and Cholesterol meds. It’s utter extortion. I did expect an increase but not 10+ time more; maybe double but some instances of £1k!!

I wonder if any of you are able to recommend a sensible travel insurance company if at all possible.

Grateful for any advice.

Stay Strong!

Dee

Here's the post from the bhf forum

I've used staysure over the past few years, I have AF so you trump me in terms of seriousness but they still use it as a way to weasel more cash out of me.

The other tip I'd say is to deffo phone them and speak to a human, don't just fill in the web form.

Maybe using the word emergency as you did above might not be a good thing. But enjoy your holiday.
