Questions only for those who did financing?



Recommended Posts

Hi My insurance will not cover my surgery. No big surprise there.....

but i am wondering what kind of financing those out there did. the interest rate on it ect...???

I found one place for financing but the interest rate was 24.99% my jaw literally dropped. My husband and i have thought about getting a personal loan or refinancing our home, which in the economy has held quite a bit of value. we were refinancing before we decided about the lap band but now we are thinking we would like to take some money out at 6.5% interest rate.

Anyone do something similar?

How and what did you do to make your lap band dreams possible? thanx :)

I used HealthOne. It is an unsecured loan, so even with the very best credit score they will only go as low as 10%. There was 0% for the first 6 months, then it is fixed at 10% on the balance.

Thank you for your quick response! I will check them out. HOPE I CAN GET 10% cause thats the highest my husband is even willing to entertain. again much thanx for your response. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
