About this group

Holiday, Travel Insurance After Surgery

There are many reasons why you might need to undergo surgery, however, whatever the reason, the experience weakens the body, and so demands certain precautions are taken.

These usually include restrictions on air travel, although the length of time doctors recommend patients avoid flying varies according to what procedure they’ve had done. Simple procedures, such as laser eye surgery, only prevents you from flying for 2-3 days (more complicated eye surgeries may prevent you from flying for longer); for abdominal or chest surgeries, minor procedures carry a 4-5 days ban on air travel, whereas more invasive treatments can mean you cannot fly for 4-6 weeks, or even as long as 3 months for joint replacement or lung resection surgery.

The reason for these restrictions is that changes in air pressure, having to sit down for long periods of time and being in close proximity to other passengers can increase the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), infections, expansion of air in body cavities and severe headache for post-surgery patients. As emergency medical assistance is not immediately available during long flights, these conditions can carry serious, and possibly fatal, consequences.

The most important thing when deciding whether or not it is safe to fly is to consult your doctor, as a medical professional is the only one able to give you the all clear to travel.

Whether or not you have booked your holiday already, you can use the buying power you share with other post-surgery patients to save money on your travel insurance. Join this group today to get a discounted quote.

Current Offer

Get 8.6% off travel insurance after surgery from Travel Adder - exclusively for members

Excellent news - we've negotiated an **8.6% discount** on Travel Insurance with Travel Adder. The offer is available exclusively to members of Bought By Many, and you won't find it anywhere else.

Having listened to feedback from members, there were two reasons why we chose to work with Travel Adder:

  • The combination of Travel Adder's already competitive prices and the discount meant that they offered members the best value-for-money

  • Travel Adder gives you a choice over whether or not you want to include or exclude cover for your surgery or other pre existing medical conditions

You can get a quote for holiday insurance and apply online at the Travel Adder website - just click on the "Get a Quote" button. (Please note that the discount is applied automatically when you click the button).

Unfortunately Travel Adder aren't currently able to offer insurance for people who are over 85, though they are working on it. In the meantime, we wanted to make sure we could do something to help all members, so we created a Travel Insurance Over 85 group - if you're over 85, please join this group, and we'll be in touch to let you know about a different offer that's now available for you.
