Ponderer, Ya, the rate was almost 15% on the one they offered, it was insane! But I looked into my bank and credit union, but they only offer signature loans, and the signature loans are only offered up to $5,000. My mom is willing to co-sign with me, so not sure yet how that can help. Im going in next week to get qualified and all that jazz, so hoping it will work out. Im so crazy stressed about it. I want this surgery so much, its been an emotional roller coaster! But thanks for your advice, I appreciate it very much

Thank you all so much, this has definitely helped... Ive looked into some credit unions and they recommended their signature loans, but you can only get signature loans for $5,000..Lame lol. But Im still looking. Thank you And Dave, I have looked into Mexico a bit, still deciding. Thanks!

Hey all... So I just wanted to vent a bit about my emotional struggle lol... I have been looking into the LapBand for a while now, a little over a year, and the last couple months Ive gotten serious about it.... Went to the Dr. and got a packet and got so excited. My best friend got it done and she looks great, and she's doing fine on the payments. My insurance will not cover the surgery, which sucks, but meh, I was willing to pay the monthly payments for this life change. I was scanning through the pamplet for the loan company who finances the surgery and WOW. The interest rate is insanely high... My excitement started to turn into dissapointment. My husband keeps telling me that we'll find a way to do it somehow.... Does anyone know if you have someone co-sign with you on your loan if it lowers the payments or rate at all? My mom is willing to do that... Sorry I know this is me babbling, but I needed some support... Thanks for listening.... Kayla
