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.

      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.
