Hello everyone. My name is Julie. I am new to the forum. I am trying to find some help on how to get the lap band done if you don't have insurance or good credit. I have been overweight my whole life. I have tried everything, and nothing works. I am 100 lbs overweight, and I have no energy, lots of pain, and I am missing out on my kids lives because I "just don't feel good".

I have looked around and only found credit options. Well my ex fixed all of that for me. He ruined my credit, and is now decesased. I can't do much about it. I have tried to pay off the items, or get them removed. However, at this point I am self-employed since, and don't make a lot of money.

I thought others might know of some options that the Kansas doctors had. Any help would be wonderful.

Thank you,

Julie

Julie. I don't know how things are for you now but I would recommend Dr. Kirshenbaum in Co.

www.lapbandrockies.com

He accepts self pay only and his price (unless it has changed in the last month or so) is only $9950.

I went through www.surgeryloans.com

I don't know with bad credit how it is at the least the price is less than most and he is the BEST. I love him and it is worth the 7 hour drive for me. His fills are only $15 after the first 3 months so it costs less to drive there, spend the night and come back than it does to get a fill in Wichita (which is very close to me.)

Good luck. I love my band!
