Any companies that specialize in financing Lap Band?



Recommended Posts

Insurance will not pay. Those of you that chose to self-pay, are there any medical procedure financing companies that are easy to work with? I am looking at having the surgery done in the states.

Thank you.

Here are a few links to companies that provide financing for non-covered medical procedures. I would suggest, however, that you go to your local bank and inquire about a personal loan first. You may find that you get a better rate. I was self-pay and we obtained a personal loan from our bank. Good luck!

I'd also check with your doctor and hospital. Mine has a major discount for people who are self-pay. Might be worth checking into...

      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.
