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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
