I saw on one of the doctors websites that you needed a credit score above 650 to qualify for MedLoan Financing. I think I will be trying a subprime bank locally to get mine and using collateral because I would be right on the boarder of qualifing for it.

I know there are several companies that do financing for bariatric surgery. I actually have a spreadsheet of them, that I am attaching here for you.

Hopefully, one of them can help you.

Is a 401K loan possible?

I have heard of others doing a 401K loan and if I had that option it would be the first one I would explore.

If your credit score is good, you can go to creditcard.com & select a card with 0% interest for 18 months. You apply online & get decision in 2 mins or less. Card comes with checks & you just write one to yourself (3% fee on checks). Interest rate goes up to "whatever" after 18 months, but its a low cost, easy short-term loanl.

I will be going for a 401k loan.

I had my surgery in June 2013 and list 71 lbs so far. I borrowed from my 401k. Best decision I ever made.
