I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "X company" -- do you mean ANY loan company, or a specific loan company? If I take it to mean any loan company, then you don't know anyone who has had a loan with any company?

Search for their names. I'm sure there's a ton of information on them. That's the best way to know about them.

well. actually you are right. I dont know anybody that has use a loan company to pay for their surgery. I was reading that they charge like 50 dlls a month extra because its a "medical loan" or something like that. I think it was "medicredit". I was wondering if all the medical loan companies do the same thing, or just that one. Or if I go to a bank and get a personal loan, would it be the same?

Im really just starting my research, so I have to start from the basic info!!

Thank you!

If it were me, I would start with a personal loan. I *think* they generally have lower interest rates and fewer special fees that medical loans. I would do it first because it's a set payment and I could set it up on my bank's auto pay and forget about it.

My second choice, before a medical loan, would be to put it on a credit card. And then I would xfer that credit balance to a different card that had set interest xfer specials (e.g. many will offer between 3 - 5 percent until the balance is paid in full when you xfer from a different account). I can't imagine a medical loan - or possibly even a personal loan, depending on loaning factors - having that low of an interest rate.

Thanks for your help. I am so desesperate that I didnt eve care HOW i was going to pay for it, I just wanted to have it done, but I dont want to put myself in a whole. I guess I have to wait a little longer and try to get another kind of loan, or do more research about this medical loan companies.

Thanks a lot!!!

i financed through capitol one credit for medical loans. it is a 10% fixed for 5 years. Much lower than the local "personal loans" and even very competitive with my fixed rate credit cards. However, i have a 763 FICO, so that helped lots. i work in banking, and my bank said this was the best deal, they could not offer better (of course i had to finance $15k).

Bandster, so that 1.9 % for the loan was a really really good deal?

Im going to look at capital 1 too... but i dont have an account with them, and also, I wanted to know if the loan has to be under my name, or It could be under my husbands name?

Typically the loan has to be under the patients name but they willl let your husband cosign .

Hi I'm glad to see this thread. Can anyone that has gotten 100% financing and is willing to tell, please let me know how much your payments are every month. Anything beyond that (ie: % rate, years have to pay) would be great! Thank you!

I was in your shoes.

1st I found the cheapest docs while looking for

the best docs.

I made inquiry and the best doc gave me the cheapest price. Whew!

Location, location, location! Someone can spend more just by getting to their destination. So a flight into LAX and a short drive to SAN (the gas was cheaper than the airfare/even bus fare was cheaper) and the doc's shuttle came to pick me up.

Southwest Airlines was the airline I chose.

So when picking dates, get a date when airfare is cheapest.

Tijuana was cheaper for me.

But for financing...be creative!

I did the research...those w/ even a lower fico can go thru American General or some other HIGH INTEREST company.

I requested a CLI, credit line increase on my overdraft protection thru my credit union. BINGO. I used that line of credit to pay the $7,000 for my surgery. The airfare was $159 RT.

Good luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
