Hi, Can anyone give me an idea of what interest rate they charged, whether or not, and how they secured the loan, and how easy or difficult they were to deal with? I am thinking about starting a company expressly for the purpose of funding lap band operations. Also, how long would they fund it, etc. (Ie, what were the repayment terms?)

Any insight you can give me could well result in creating a new, bandster-friendly funding source.

Thanks, Brad

Hey Brad.

I applied at Capital One - the max term of financing is 5 yrs - and the range of rates and everything was listed on their website.

what they quoted me on my approval for $15,000 5 yr loan was a payment of $313/mo. I forget the exact rate but it was something like 8.99%. Sadly, even though I "Qualify" for the loan, in real life, I can't afford the payments!

I applied online and had an answer back pretty quickly.

**Caution**

As a mortgage underwriter I have to caution you against applying for multiple loans - as the inquiries from when they pull your credit WILL affect your score. (and every lender WILL pull your credit.)

If you think that it is something you are really going to use - then by all means apply and get an answer - but if you are just checking out options and not ready to proceed, then I would say to hold off on applying.

:]

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
