I've been reading in here about care credit. Apparently they loan for medical costs with no interest if pain in 10 mos.

I guess I don't need to worry, My Dr does not accept carecredit, I do not know why, but they said they never turned anyone down for $ so I think they have a payment plan themselves. I have my next appt july 11, so that will be my official start of my 3 mo medically supervised diet plan, I guess I will know more then , I just did not want to get excited and find out its wayyyy more than what I can afford. I live alone, and its on all me. 3 months is 6 paychecks, 8 at most, not much time to prepare-

If you have a 401K you can borrow against it and it is a loan but you are paying yourself back

I am in only 4 yrs gs-7 and long story short, death of my son etc etc no extra money. Just starting to rebuid back my life so getting this surgery would be amazing. To get my body back in shape to do things again, feel better, and look better be like a new me. Been through the fire and came out as pure gold-- but gold is heavy isnt it? I think even if I have to take a P/T job after, be worth it.

      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.
