For the Self-Payers: Where'd you get the money?!
Fatshionista posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello I have been overweight all my life, and am 4' 9" and have a BMI of 38. I'm considering band surgery but my insurance won't cover it. I'm interested in finding out how other self-payers have financed their surgery. Did you save up? Put it on a credit card? Get a loan? I have no savings but I do have good credit – but the thought of almost $20k of debt is terrifying! Please share your experiences. Any helpful suggestions are welcome.
