Hi, Can anyone give me an idea of what interest rate they charged, whether or not, and how they secured the loan, and how easy or difficult they were to deal with? I am thinking about starting a company expressly for the purpose of funding lap band operations. Also, how long would they fund it, etc. (Ie, what were the repayment terms?)

Any insight you can give me could well result in creating a new, bandster-friendly funding source.

Thanks, Brad

Hey Brad.

I applied at Capital One - the max term of financing is 5 yrs - and the range of rates and everything was listed on their website.

what they quoted me on my approval for $15,000 5 yr loan was a payment of $313/mo. I forget the exact rate but it was something like 8.99%. Sadly, even though I "Qualify" for the loan, in real life, I can't afford the payments!

I applied online and had an answer back pretty quickly.

**Caution**

As a mortgage underwriter I have to caution you against applying for multiple loans - as the inquiries from when they pull your credit WILL affect your score. (and every lender WILL pull your credit.)

If you think that it is something you are really going to use - then by all means apply and get an answer - but if you are just checking out options and not ready to proceed, then I would say to hold off on applying.

:]

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
