I would postpone if I was you. If you have problems whilst in Bali your insurance will not cover you as it is a pre-existing condition. Went with a friend (only 33)last week who got ill. Heart began racing twice as fast as normal -no apparent reason (and no he does not touch drugs) Insurance company would not pay. He had to pay everything up front ($3,500 for 2 days in hospital) and has had to on return to WA see specialist and prove that it was not a pre-existing condition before the insurance will decide if they will reimburse him. As well as the medical fees, he could not fly home on the original date as the airline wouldnt allow it until he had clearance - insurance would not pay for change of flights, or extra accommodation. No - Sorry I do not know the insurance company he was with. Good Luck with your op.
