Due to one of the referrals from Dr, I applied for financial assistance through medicalfinancing.com, and waiting for response early this week....but I am very nervous and concerned as I've read some not so good reviews about them in last couple hours! They already charged me to apply, $14.00. I haven't seen this before only when applying to apartments, not loans...I hope this ends up being a blessing to me, and not something else! If anyone has dealt with these people I sure would appreciate any and all of your inputs.

Good news approved...YEA!!!...Bad news they didn't tell me terms or amount just that I was approved...BOO!!!

Still worried about this company, and praying it doesn't end in a nightmare, but giving them a chance seeings how I've only read a few bad reviews, kind of like the different views of which doctor recommended on this site. Still would appreciate input from others on this company if you've heard or had any dealings with them. If not prayers are welcomed! Thanks

I tried to go through them and they had me do all the paperwork get a cosigner after they said I was approved pay 50 to overnight the paperwork after I faxed it to them so they had the originals and then still got denied in the end it was a huge run around game. Tell them u want approval before u pay to send the documents and get the name and stuff of the lender their saying will approve u. They use other companies to finance and u have to have like 20% down and a processing fee of 400 dollars which for me would have been fine considering I was that desperate and in the end they still didn't come through. Tread lightly and seriously research all other options I would never recommend them to anyone

Thanks AmandaRaeLeo and Mexico for information. I finally reached caseworker Hosea (sp) after I was told that I was approved and he informed me that I was, but only for US not Mexico. He said he'll check with another bank they do business with that has done loans for out of country and get back with me tomorrow. He seemed pleasant and curteous, so we'll see. Not agreeing to anything till I have all details in writing first. And Mexico I'm really sorry your experience with them turned out not so good. Did you find someone to loan you the funds eventually? I will be cautious in dealing with them.

Ok, so Hosea (sp) didn't call as he said at time he was to call. I gave this company the benifit of a doubt and they are not holding up in the light very well. No surprise, and out of caution I cancelled my card so no more funds can be taken from my acct. Back to the drawing board I go! I'm a believer that everything happens for a reason, but sometimes those reasons aren't made clear to us, this is one of those times! Lol!

Thanks for reading and posting responses!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
