i used care credit to get my daughters teeth aligned not braces but something else. they seem to me to be a really good company and haven't given me any problems.

I just got it for my cat's large vet bill. It was not by choice, but it was either that or have him put to sleep. :thumbup: So far, so good. It's no interest if I pay it off in a year. No biggie!

GL!

PS- Maybe when the vet bill is paid, I will use it for ME!!

I used CareCredit for both my up-front fee (about $1000) and for the balance ($3600), as well as for some dental work. No problems either time. Be careful to read what you sign--they have many different programs (like 0% interest now, but you really get zinged if you don't pay it off in time).

We used Care Credit for my daughter's braces. We had absolutely no problem. We got the no interest rate for 18 months as long as we paid it off before that time was up. The approval was super quick. They are just fine to use. No problems. Good luck!:lol:

I used them for part of my lapband surgery as well and I haven't had any problems at all with them. They do have diffrent porgrams/ rates ect so check with your Dr. as to what they accept. Part of mine is no intrest if paid in 18 months and they also have 12 or 13% intrest...which is better than most credit cards! But no I've had no problems with the company at all!

I used Health One. The rates were lower than Care Credit. That was a year ago, so I don't know what the rates are like now.

      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.
