Hello All,

I am working on getting funds for self pay. Other than using a credit card if possible!

Could anyone recommed a company that does Medical/patient loans?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Sincerely,

Pamela.

I ended up borrowing my Tax Shelter Annuity money that I was saving for retirement. I pay it back monthly at a lower rate than a traditional loan would have been. I finally decided that I had to do it otherwise I may not be around to use the retirement money. Do you have anything like that through your work?

I used Advanced Patient financing online for part of my cost, a signature loan for part and some of our cash on hand. The online loan has a pretty high interest at 18% but that might be cheaper than some credit cards. Toll Free number:(800) 504-4053. I just researched for weight loss surgery loans, then compared interest and availability. Good Luck

This is the company I used to finance 2000.00 of my surgery. I was a self pay and was short 2000, my payments were 127.00 for 18 months I paid it off this month 5 months early there was no penalty to pay it off.

I was fortunate enough that my doctor was a participant with this company. I do not know what doctor you are using but it is worth checking it out. I hope this helps :)

I paid cash cause mine came about so quickly but when we returned home I had a approval letter from this company and they had 90 days same as cash-very cool!!

I cleared out my Simple IRA and am still financing part through a home equity loan. Since it's for medical I won't have to pay the 10% penalty, income tax only and the home equity loans interest is also tax deductable. So there is a little silver lining in there somewhere.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
