Questions only for those who did financing?



Recommended Posts

Hi My insurance will not cover my surgery. No big surprise there.....

but i am wondering what kind of financing those out there did. the interest rate on it ect...???

I found one place for financing but the interest rate was 24.99% my jaw literally dropped. My husband and i have thought about getting a personal loan or refinancing our home, which in the economy has held quite a bit of value. we were refinancing before we decided about the lap band but now we are thinking we would like to take some money out at 6.5% interest rate.

Anyone do something similar?

How and what did you do to make your lap band dreams possible? thanx :)

I used HealthOne. It is an unsecured loan, so even with the very best credit score they will only go as low as 10%. There was 0% for the first 6 months, then it is fixed at 10% on the balance.

Thank you for your quick response! I will check them out. HOPE I CAN GET 10% cause thats the highest my husband is even willing to entertain. again much thanx for your response. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
