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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
