Cancelled Surgery

So, I was scheduled for March 8th with Dr. Lopez, and I had to cancel my surgery due to lack of $$$. I've applied for 2 loans and both no luck. I'm going to have to use the money from my tax return to fix my car that decided to break down on me :( this sucks.

    Sounds like you might have a pretty nice car, have you considered selling it and getting something minimal for a while so you can get the surgery sooner?

    I'm with you 100% Laura. Exactly why I recommended downgrading cars. I'd rather be thin driving a $2500 hoopty than obese driving 10-15k car. And being debt free just makes it all the better

  • Aww I'm so sorry. Hopefully you can work something out and have it a little later. I know it sucks but don't give up.

I feel so bad for you. If only we were all just wealthy and didn't ever have that stress. Keep your attitude positive and here's hoping that everything lines up so you can get it done sooner than later.

I'm so sorry this happened to you! I hope and pray that everything works out well for you and you have the surgery sooner!

Whatever happened to the new in house financing the r4ac offers?

I don't think they have that... I think they go through other companies too. Which would still require a consigner. When I applied for my loan at my bank, I even put my car up for collateral and still nothing... :(

Sorry this has happened to you. I was supposed to be sleeved October 16th but had money problems, then my date was November 11th but money troubles weren't sorted yet. Finally I was sleeved 2 days ago!

I hope you get a new date too

Thank you everyone! I'm going to save whatever money I have left out of my tax return after fixing my car and try to put away $4-500 a month. Hopefully by summer I will have a new date :)

Good luck on your new plan. You can do it.

Jesser good luck to you!

Finding financing can be hard. I am still working on it to. Best wishes!

Jesser I know how you feel, I also went with ready 4 a change, I had to push my surgery from feb 8th to feb 25th, now I may have to push a little farther out :-( I also contacted ready 4 a change about that program Ed mentioned and Alma said they aren't doing it. So frustrating!
