In House Financing?

After much research I have decided to not go have surgery with dr Quinones but he is the only one I have found that provides in house financing. I am Canadian and can't get a medical loan without a co-signer which I don't have and being a single mom it will be years before I can save up the money. Does anyone know any other doctor who will do payments either in Mexico or the US? I am severely morbidly obese and need this surgery to save to my life.

Hi canadian_girl

Which province are you from? wLS should be covered by your provincial healthcare. I know there is a wait time but might be something to look into. I recommend you speak to your family doctor. Good luck.

I applied with Citerra Finance for surgery at Tijuana Bariatrics with Dr. Garcia. I was approved for a partial amount (leaving me with a $1500 balance) due to my debt to income ratio (student loans). However, the rates on this loan were terrible. It was 22+% interest and also an additional $800 fee included in the loan.

I am currently working on my credit and have reached the average/good range, so I have no idea how my score effected the rates.

I decided I would give my credit union a try. I was approved for a credit card that has 1.9% interest for the first 12 months, and 9.99% after that. I intend to use that to pay for surgery instead.

I didn't mean to ramble, but I hope this gives you some insight. I wish you the best!

I am using Medicredit for Dr. Joya, in Puerto Vallarta. It takes a few weeks, they will confirm with the doctors office and send you a check. In order to get a bank draft; the funds have to sit in the bank for 5 days. The interest rates are not awesome; and you definitely have to pre plan. But, it is another option.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
