Hi all im from KS had just gotten my heart set on the lap band surgery and found out my insurance would not cover. They are talkin like 16000, i do not want a second morg on house. I have looked at care credit are there any other similar options?? Any advice would be great, im even considering mexico but dont know how to start that process. would love to hear from someone! thanks for your time

Hi Misty.

I would explore the Doctors and Surgeons threads. Some people have very strong opinions on who is good to see in Mexico and who isn't.

I got a brand new credit card and put my surgery on it. I was desperate. I would rather be in debt than dead. I managed to get a new line of credit afterwards, with a way better interest rate, and paid my card off with that.

Although I'm a slow loser, I am indeed losing, and more importantly, I'm not gaining so I consider it well worth it.

Good luck with it.

Hi Misty,

I wish I had answers, but I just don't.

But, I also didn't want you to post to this board feeling like you're being ignored. I think some people just don't have answers for you.

I hope that you find some, I thought the post before mine was worthy. If you can find a car loan, you can find a loan. I just don't know.

I am still waiting for approval myself but think I would pretty much sell the car for this.

sorry your insurance does not want to pay. I am not sure how heavy your are or what other health conditions you have but Keep pusing the insurance co. Your Primary care Dr. etc. so everything would be documented.

In the meantime keep up the fight.
