Can you try another source? Will your surgeon's office help you?

I applied to two companies to see who would give me the better rate: Capitol One and Care Credit. I also ended up using both because Care Credit had a lower interest rate. I ended up splitting it about 2/3 on Capitol One and 1/3 on Care Credit. Surely your doctor has some suggestions on who they work with.

Keep trying and good luck!

I used Capital One for fiancing too. They were really quick about it as well. They pretty much just have to confirm fees with your Surgeon and know how the checks are to be written. For example mine were broken up as follows: hospital, anesthesia and surgeon fees for a total of $14,500.

Hope this helps,

I, too, used Care Credit and got immediate approval after applying online. Definitely try them. When I applied alone I was only approved for half of what I needed (but my credit is TERRIBLE so half was actually a huge surprise to me), I applied again w/ a co-signer (thank you mom!) and was approved for the whole amount...again immediately (the account number was given to me upon approval as well, no need to wait for the card)

I did what you did and set a date not knowing for sure if I'd get the loan. Somehow things have their ways of working out...

make sure if you apply with capital one that your doctor is a particpating in the program i got a loan from them only to find out my doc didnt participate gosh i was bummed! are you paying for the whole surgery or just a small amount ? THE HOSPITAL sometimes will work out or offer some financing! good luck!

Good for you! Don't let it stand in your way.

I'm a single mom of 3 w/ no insurance. Like you, I made it happen. Found a great surgeon who gave me a great deal, $7,000. Didn't want to compromise my safety just by selecting a 'cheap' surgeon.

I used my line of credit/overdraft protection attached to my checking account.

Keep us posted.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
