myralene

So happy for u! I hope I get the same news soon

..

Well hello again, for thoughs who dont know me , im myralene, im 28 and my bmi is 54, OUCH!! i have been wanted to do lap band since forever and couldnt afford it. i finally found a place i was comfortable with, to do my lap band and its in chicago at Synchrony. Since at the time my insurance did not cover it and i applied for care credit and guess what........ i was only approved for 1,000 because i have barely any credit history and that seems to be my problem nowadays for everything but when my company was just recently bought out, they changed insurances and they cover the lap band Synchrony sent my letter in and now im here waiting for the answer...... and im nervous, please God let it be approved please!! if not it will come out of my pocket and i really dont have that kind of money. so keep me in your prayers all and cross your fingers, legs arms just cross everything for me, lol

Hi, my name is Myra and since my insurance does not cover the lapband, they referred me to carecredit for financing. I have looked online and saw so many negative reviews about care credit and im not sure if i should take the risk. please if u have used Care credit, can you please tell me your experience with them good or bad. i dont want to get in a scam or jam. Please let me know. thank you

So far the cheapest was 14,900 but im gonna keep on looking thanks all

Have you considered going to Mexico??? there are a lot of doctors that specialize in the LAP-BAND® and have really good packages...there are even ads on LBT for them...

Hey Zeniada, ahhhh mexico! Lol Im too scared to go so far and wouldn't I have to go back for fills? I don't know I will check it out though. Thanks : )

Hi I live in nw Indiana also. You should look around I am going to Dr Shayani in Olympia fields Il he his very cost conscious for his self pay patients. the hospital is also really good. I work at the hospital where I am having the surgery done at

Hi firebug, im willing to travel to IL so I will check your dr out too and thank u so much, I greatly appreciate it! : )

You should shop around, I paid $10,200 in Dallas. There are 2 medical finance companies that I know about, Carecredit and Cap one. The Dr office that you use will have information for you.

Hi! I had checked carecredit before and kinda scared me with all the negative comments but I will check it out once more and also cap one too. I hope to find a good deal like yours. Thanks

Hi themaxwellfamily, most of these places dont cover me because i dont have an health issue like diabeties or high blood pressure and that is something i dont understand, i want to get it done before i get those things. But just incase ill check what they will say and thanks

Hi, my name is myra and i leave in nwi. My doctor referred me to dr. Stanish at methodist hospital in merrillville, indiana. My bmi is 51 and i dont have no health issues but my obesity and my insurance doesnt cover this so self pay is my only option. They said it will be around $19,000 and almost passed out when they told me. Does anyone know a good medical finance place i can go to? I wanted this surgery in my early twenties and now that i am in my late twenties i feel like it will never happen for me.
