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 have thought about selling it... I'm just confused on what to do. I was really hoping that the loan would have went through :(

Get* I think if I had that issue I'd just put it on a credit card. Ya there's interest but going to Mexico is pretty cheap anyways.

I really messed that up when I was younger. I had 2 credit cards with $10,000 limits on them and by the time the interest and late fees piled up on it, it was ridiculous. I pretty much ruined my credit over that. It got out of hand and I didn't pay it back. Just young and dumb. Now that I actually need it, I can't get it.

Jesser, I am in Finance, and can tell you from my experience, a company that may take your car for collateral, and loan you the amount you need depending on the circumstances would be Springleaf Financial. I have had clients that were able to borrow from them within less than a year after foreclosure and bankruptcy. Maybe give them a shot?

Best of luck!!

Jesser,

The good news is that this surgery isn't going anywhere, it will be here when you are financially ready. Take some deep breaths, take care of yourself and your son. When you get your financial house in order the surgery will come.

I see that you have gotten yourself in credit trouble before. Be patient, don't fall into desperate lending barely getting yourself enough money to get surgery type credit. think long term about the financial impact.

I agree with Laura-ven, don't strap yourself financially and certainly don't get into anything you can't handle. Especially if you are going to be putting your transportation up for collateral, only do this if you know you can afford it for the duration. Otherwise, this surgery will wait for you when the time is right financially. I am a huge believer that everything happens for a reason!

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

I sold my 2 year old Nissan Sentra to help fund my surgery. If one is serious about getting it, then one will do what they have to. :)

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
