Travel Insurance - HELP !!!

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I wonder if any of you had any experience when it comes to travel

insurance and which insurance companies are willing to include the

lap band at a higher premium (if at all) ?

I'm travelling for business quite often and the next trip is to

Singapore in 2 weeks. For the first time in 5 years I had to fill out

an assessment form and I called the insurance company (COVER-MORE -

what a joke !) to find out if the lap band is a 'medical condition'.

They told me yes and that they would NOT cover anything to do with

the lap band, not even at a higher premium.

That's quite upsetting by itself but what makes me really furious is

the fact that that they have no problem covering: Asthma, Epilepsy,

Hypertension, Prostate Cancer, Stroke etc. - none of these conditions

even need a higher premium. Arrrrrgh !!!

So, if anybody can help me or point me in the right direction ??? I

will of course be eternally grateful :-)

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,
