First my partner has a prolapsed disk he has surgery but it was unsuccessful and is waiting for more surgery but this will happen after our holiday. Does anybody know of a travel insurance site that can insure him that doesn't cost over £300 like I am getting quotes for.
Second He is on a lot of medication which he will have to take with him. do I have to get a letter of confirmation from our doctor to say he is on all these medication and does it have to be translated into the language of the country I am traveling to.

    I'm surprised you get a quote at all.

    I had a successful microdiscectomy and my GP advised against travel for 6 weeks. I wouldn't have got travel insurance during that time.

    Is he travelling against GP advice?
  • he has got the ok from the doctor had surgery when we travel in August it will be 16 weeks post surgery.
    anybody know of any travel insurance sites I can try please?
