I am having a tough time finding financing for the gastric sleeve. I have been researching this for the past year and really think I am a good candidate. I currently have no health insurance because I am a temporary employee. I also do NOT have good credit so financing is not an option. Also saving money is hard these days. I also thought about buying health insurance but they don't want to cover me with a pre -exisiting condition, What can I do?? I feel hopeless and my health is suffering. I checked out Mexico but like I said financing is not an option unless I can find a bad credit loan company. Can anyone relate or point into the right direction??

I am with you! I was in the same boat. I thought I was able to get financing and I also considered getting health insurance to persue the surgery but I could not afford it b/c my payments would be so high considering my weight.

I decided that I was making my mind up to do whatever it took. That was in Oct.

I am a waitress, not lots of extra cash and thought I nothing.

I started with a garage sale. I sold everything. If I did not use it it went. Life is much better and my house is cleaner. I made $400. 00 in one weekend. I put things on craigs list, baby clothes, camaras , ect. I started putting away every cent. I used to like to go play Bingo, stopped that. I do not go buy fast food. $10-20 there a week. Soda.... that stuff....

My husband pitched in $500.00 from our business (which we really do not have) and as of today I am 1/2 way there. I have $2500.00 saved.

This is from not having ANYTHING. I thought I had NOTHING to sell.

If you really want to be sleeved you will see where you waste your money.

For me I had to start a savings account with NO ATM card, otherwise I would spend it. I do not know if I will get the other half up as soon but I will give all I got till I get there.

Also I am trying to repair my credit slowly in the event for my tummy tuck in 2 years...lol

If you want it real bad it will come!!!!!!

Have you looked for other employment opportunities? Do you work for a temp service that offers insurance perhaps? Its hard to save money, I get that. Financing with bad credit is going to be nearly impossible. Take the time now to get your credit in order, perhaps look for a position that will provide health insurance. A lot of places depending on where you live give health insurance to part time employees - Starbucks being one of them.
