Hi. I'm new on here. I was wondering if anyone has ever used medicalfinance to help pay for their surgery? I am having surgery with dr Garcia in April. I'm so excited.

I have not but I too am really looking into Dr. Garcia. Little nervous but excited. Are you having just the sleeve or a revision.

How did you come across Dr. Garcia if you don't mind me asking. I had the band done with Dr. Zapata and loved him, but the price is great with Garcia an they are affiliated so I feel so comfortable with my choice.

Just lots of research and reading lots of posts on a lot of different forums. Dr aceves, Kelly and Garcia are the top three I kept seeing over and over. So the price with all the good praise helped me to choose him. I'm going by myself. I'm a little nervous but sounds like lots of people go alone and are fine. How about you?

My husband is too busy with work to go so I may just go by myself as well. Besides from what I hav read people tend to be pretty sleepy and it wouldn't be any fun to make someone sit around lol. I am coming from Texas. How about you? I feel 100% confident in Garcia especially if Ready4Achange is affiliated with him. I'm not really worried about safety issues. How about you?

Hi southerngirl.. i looked into medicalfinance.com and it seemed like their loans were ridiculous but i only did get one approval out of 6 companies they work with.. did you go with them and if so was it a decent loan? I may have to get a co signer. just to borrow 4900 was going to cost me 243.00/month for four years.. which is like more than double the amount ... Just would like to know if it is worth pursing with a co signer... really wish my dad would just help me but he's not being too helpful.

I ended up just using my income tax refund and really scraping by to save. It seemed easier to pay myself the payment and cheaper.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
