Hi. I'm new on here. I was wondering if anyone has ever used medicalfinance to help pay for their surgery? I am having surgery with dr Garcia in April. I'm so excited.

How did you come across Dr. Garcia if you don't mind me asking. I had the band done with Dr. Zapata and loved him, but the price is great with Garcia an they are affiliated so I feel so comfortable with my choice.

Just lots of research and reading lots of posts on a lot of different forums. Dr aceves, Kelly and Garcia are the top three I kept seeing over and over. So the price with all the good praise helped me to choose him. I'm going by myself. I'm a little nervous but sounds like lots of people go alone and are fine. How about you?

My husband is too busy with work to go so I may just go by myself as well. Besides from what I hav read people tend to be pretty sleepy and it wouldn't be any fun to make someone sit around lol. I am coming from Texas. How about you? I feel 100% confident in Garcia especially if Ready4Achange is affiliated with him. I'm not really worried about safety issues. How about you?

Hi southerngirl.. i looked into medicalfinance.com and it seemed like their loans were ridiculous but i only did get one approval out of 6 companies they work with.. did you go with them and if so was it a decent loan? I may have to get a co signer. just to borrow 4900 was going to cost me 243.00/month for four years.. which is like more than double the amount ... Just would like to know if it is worth pursing with a co signer... really wish my dad would just help me but he's not being too helpful.

I ended up just using my income tax refund and really scraping by to save. It seemed easier to pay myself the payment and cheaper.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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?
      Thanks

      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! 😞
