Desperate for answers

I am new here and was directed here by a friend on Facebook. My name is Misti Taylor and I need some answers. I was getting ready to finalize financing for the VSG in Mexico with a Dr. Alvarez when I was informed, by his staff, that they don't work with this particular financing company anymore. It has left me devistated and broken hearted. I have been fighting my weight for 11+ years. I am in pain on a daily basis that is weight related. Everytime I try to get insurance, I get denied BECAUSE of my weight. I am at a loss on what to do. I feel like just giving up and finding a way to accept my huge body. I can't stop crying and know that this will destroy me if I can't get this surgery. This is my last hope. (Boy do I sound like a broken record, don't we all say this when we get to the surgical option? It's sad but very true in WLS patients. This really is our last hope.) Anyway, I don't know where to go or what to do anymore. I am only going to have $4500 to work with as a down payment, unless I go to this one doctor in Houston that needs to do a $1750 procedure before he can do surgery. If that's the case, I will have less than $4500 to work with. I am at the end of my rope. This is the ONLY thing I want for myself. I am a current college student with an amazing husband who works his butt off to take care of things for us until I am done with school. He could make monthly payments and is MORE than willing to. We just need financing that will work with out less-than-perfect credit. Please someone help me figure out where I can go for financing that is guaranteed to work.

Any help will be appreciated,

Misti Taylor

This is just as inappropriate as her posts. Please, can we all grow up?

No, it's no reasoning with her, and I stated so and have every right to. People will agree to disagree.

And again I ask...how's that "ignore her posts" working out for ya? You're the fool who thinks you ACTUALLY are going to change anything? You're words fall on deaf ears. LET IT GO!

And yet here you are, responding to me. Lmfao. How's that working out, ignoring me? You can't do it. Just another reason I HATE christians...they can't do what they say they will.

Let's not call names please .. We all just have an opinion were entitled

And the devil likes to taunt and lie, like the slithering snake you are and tell people God ain't real.

Devil please you are the least of my worries. But I see you like to argue! Could be the butt of your marriage problems. Hmmmmmmm.

When you assume, ignorant moron, you really show how much of an ass you are. My marriage doesn't have problems. Now keep up that ignoring me, it's working well! Lmfao. Oh, thanks for the entertainment. This is fun!

The way you act it won't be long before that prediction you foretold will come true. Yes this is what the Devil (you) loves. So I'm not going to continue giving you what you want cuz the Devil is a liar!

Medicalfinancing denied me. Nopatientleftbehind almost had me until I researched them because of the shady scammy sounding deal they talked to me about. 4500 is what I will have to put down. The surgeon needs to be within 5 or 6 hours driving distance because I will be in the first month of my 2nd semester of college' date=' can't miss more than a couple of days from classes. This actually feels like heartbreak to me. I met a surgeon in Houston which will cost 12,000 + 1750 for a procedure prior to surgery. I just don't have it and my back pain worsens everyday. The more active I try to become, the less I can move after 1 or 2 days of easy exercise (biking or light weight lifting). I am having spine issues which is beginning to make my life even more hell than it was a short time ago. I don't want pity, I don't want sorrow for me, I just want my pain to stop, mentally and physically. I'm really beginning to believe it won't stop ever.[/quote']

What about going to a surgeon in MX for that amount. You could go doing Spring Break... That's what I plan on doing.

This thread has gotten way out of hand. Tone it down and please refer to our rules as you are new and may not have had the opportunity to do yet.

This is your only warning you will receive. Next action will be the issuing of bans,

I'm about 1000 short on the price' date=' no passport yet (or the money for one right now), and I can't afford the trip to Tijuana. I think I have to find a way to do it here in Houston. But thanks for the info.[/quote']

You would come out better if you went to MX financially, especially if you are able to get an extra 1000 dollars
