I’m feeling under the weather right now, I was so excited last week because I thought that the bank was going to approve my credit, I’m going to pay the surgery all by myself, but yesterday call me and told me they only approved part of it, I do not what else to do to get the money, I really want the band and we do not have insurance here in Mexico, so I guess I’m gonna have to wait until next year... :(

If they approved x amount, you could try and find a Dr who will take the partial amount and set you up on a payment plan.

Also, have you looked into Carecredit? It's a healthcare credit card and they usually have some decent promos for financing.< /p>

Thanks to all for your responses, I live in Mexico and I'm not sure we have that option, and there's only one good Dr. that does this procedure in my city and he does not finance any part of the procedure, going outside my city to find a new doctor only will increase my expenses, I know he is great I've seen his work and know a couple of success stories from their patients, I think I just have to be patient and look for an extra income :) I'm trying to stay positive!!!

      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.
