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. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
