Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Hello, I've been looking at getting a loan for the sleeve. I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience with bad credit/revolving credit. My credit is about 600 right now, but I am expecting it to go up as a credit card my name is associated with is finally being paid off this month (it's carried a balance for over a year). I made about $28,000.00 last year. So basically I say all of this to ask if anyone had similar stories of low credit/low income and were able to get approved for the loan? I'm also considering applying for a smaller loan, and using a credit card for the rest?. The surgery cost $11000.00, Should I apply with a credit union or prosper? Sorry for so many questions, I just want the best!

Thank you in advance!

First I would make sure that your score has gone up before you apply for credit. Credit Karma gives you a free score monthly. Next, I would go to Mexico, for literally half of the cost. I paid $5000 plus flight.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
