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.

      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.
