try Care Credit...

www.carecredit.com

They are a low rate credit card ONLY for medical expense.

The doctor's office you go to (I recommend Trace Curry through Deaconess Hospital in Cincinnati, OH) should have a finance plan you can apply for.

www.thebanddoctor.com (Dr. Curry's web site)

I know Dr. Curry's office does. You can have secured or unsecured lines of credit. (subject to approval of course)

I was fortunate enough that the Care Credit covered all of mine. You can apply online and over the phone. The cost for the Lap Band plus a year of follow ups at Dr Currys office is $16,500.00 -- so you need at least that, depending on the office you decide to use.

So, good luck.

      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! 😞
