Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

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.

      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! 😞
