btrieger 21 Posted January 7, 2010 Borrow from your retirement if possible. Put it on a credit card. Talk to surgeon's office about a finance plan. Refinance the new house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MizzouFan1 88 Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) thanks for the advice. Any ideas are welcome. The credit card is a no go, but maybe the house. Has anyone used a flex spending account? Edited January 7, 2010 by SarahMizzou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MizzouFan1 88 Posted January 13, 2010 I am very willing to travel. I can't use my house so I am running into many road blocks. I have 3-4 grand in a flex spending account but I still need 5-6 grand for the Dr. Kishenbaum in Colorado. Thanks for the ideas and keep them coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newdicarlo 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Hi Sarah (Go Tigers), Is your insurance not covering anything on the band? I went to Dr. Van Wagner in St. Louis and I believe he offers a payment plan, his part of the surgery is only about $3500, the surgery center is a bit more, but it's worth a look--and you wouldn't have to go to Colorado...although you may be dead set on that Dr. too, which I can understand...
