Carecredit Question



Recommended Posts

Thought I'd share:

I called CareCredit and asked about this. I'll have a large balance so I can't do a promotional 18 or 24 months no interest offer. I'll be doing payback at the 14.99% over several years. According to customer service, my monthly payment due will change. It won't be, say, $200 a month for 3 years. Instead, what's due is a percentage of your balance. Like a credit card. The first month, I may have to pay $200. The next month I might have to pay $190, etc.

If I were to pay off the balance "early", there would be no penalty.

Hope this information will help someone else.

Honestly, not quite sure, my doctors office recommended them do that's why I tried. I have to check with care credit . I hope I get approved. I've never needed anything this much!!

Well looks like I've been denied and I'll be sleeveless. It's the worst feeling in the world.... Nobody will help me and no one wants me having surgery. I guess everyone's wish, except mine, came true

CareCredit is great. It goes through GE Capital. I applied on line and put in the amount i wanted and hit submit, and immediately came back with my approval code and account number. Since my doctor was not offering any type of a promotion, careCredit gave me 6 month with no interest. No penalty if paid off early.

Caveat: I haven't read what the previous posters suggested.

Have you tried applying for a loan through your local credit union? I am fully financed and am only paying 2% in comparison to what Carecredit may offer. They also allowed me to consolidate my credit card bills into my financing which was a huge plus.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
