I am going to be self pay and I am finding so many companies that I am lost. I don;t know which ones are legitimate and which to be cautious in dealing with. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am still early in this process, will be attending the seminar on January 4th. Thanks

My insurance excluded WLS of any sort. I was self pay in the Dallas area. I chose my surgeon on several criteria. I wanted a surgeon that had thousands under his belt. I wanted a surgeon that believes in the surgeries he does. Other folks have other criteria.

You will know when you find he one that is right for you.

Any surgeon you throw out there, you will get folks thinking he is amazing and some folks thinking he does way to many in one day or not enough. A very personal choice, indeed.

Congrats on taking this ned step. You will be so happy you did!

I intended to say that there are so many finance companies out there. I have always stayed away from those types of businesses, but with banks still not doing many personal loans, I have to consider them. Any ideas out there on good financial companies?

Have you applied for a personal loan ? Banks are lending and that would be my first choice. After that look to your 401k or sell something. Care credit is well known and offers interest free for awhile but is only accepted in the US right now. Or a credit card offering any interest free promotions.

We are having to use some of our retirement savings to pay for the surgery. I am going to dr. Borland in new Iberia, Louisiana. He is well recommended and cost is $9800. We just cannot qualify for a loan so sorry but if your doctor offers financing then try the company he recommends . Usually it is called creditcare. Dental offices use them as well. Hope this helps in some way.
