I am devastated



Recommended Posts

:think :think :think :think :think

I am looking for a loan and because I am a stay at home mom and don't make a lot of money I am not fiding any loans that I can afford. My plan was to get a personal loan and add to it my school loan and credit card along with the surgery and have one payment.

My husband filed for bankrupt a couple of years before we met and still recovering.

I feel like someone has given me a sentence to be overweight forever. I feel like my dreams of loosing the weight have been taken from me.

I cannot stop crying, my eyes are blood red and swollen.

My husband says to have faith that something is bound to happen. The quantity of money I need is not going to drop from the sky.

This sucks! I should have looked into the money before going forward with the surgery process. I have made plans accordingly, I have tasted Proteins, I even subscribed to WLS magazine.

Hey, I remember this post from a while back. I cut and pasted it for you. If it doesn't work, you can find it under the insurance links. Hope this helps.

Peace Out

I have posted many posts,about how to get insurance approval or how to get a loan,I could'nt get either because of my credit score.I was watching ABC News:

C:My DocumentsAbcNewsProsper.htm

and they talked about People to People loans,borrowing from common people.

It's great and it did work for me.

Every loan varies it's depending on you credit score, interest rate cap in your state and your ability to pay back the loan,everyone gets 3 yrs to pay back their loan typically.

Have you looked on the internet for medical procedure loans? I was able to find one several years ago when I was looking into a little plastic surgery. You might google it and see. The interest rate might be a little high but you could pay it off asap. :D Hope that helps. Good luck! Kelly

Thank you all.

My credit is good but I stay at home and that is not considered a job. the interest with capitalone medical loans is 16.99 way to high. Bank of America only approved me for 10,000.00. Capital one's personal loans are better but by invitation only, I mailed them a letter asking them to invite me.

I am hoping to consolidate my student loan and credit card alongwith the surgery ( 14,500.00 for the surgery) I need 23,000.00 to cover all three.

or just find a super low interest medical loan.

I will keep you all updated.

Again, thank you for all your help.

Yeah,

I was self pay and went to Monterrey Mexico and it was just 8500.00 for absolutely everything and right now they're doing a special for 7500.00. I had to take out of savings and I didn't have the 23000.00 they wanted here plus here I checked with 4 different hospitals and the most anyone had done was less than 500 and my surgeon had done over 6000. I wish I knew something to help you. Keep trying though and don't give up.

Mexico is too complicated for me I already looked into it. My daughters won't stay with anybody which means I have to bring them with me along with my parents to watch them and that is plane tickets and hotel and food and hours on a plane. I want to have surgery and go to my bed and rest and I rather have a local doctor that I can go to and knows me.

My doctor is a very reputable doctor, I cannot tell you how many lap bands he has done but he was an apprentice to one of the first gastric bypass doctors back in the 70's and they put their patients through the ringer with classes and nutritionists, support groups and writing a letter of understanding etc.... before he does the surgery.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
