For Those That Are Financing Their Surgery



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to share this site with everyone. I found a place called lendingclub.com that is REALLY interesting. This is not a bank loan. This is a loan through "invenstors". You fill out your application - then invenstors can see your credit score, what you are looking for in $$ - and decide if they want to help finance your loan. The financing rates are much lower than what they are for what a personal unsecurred loan would be. You put on the app what your loan will be for. An example are the following:

Medical Bills

Debt Consolodation

Pool Purchase

Vacation

Etc. The list goes on. This is a great way to get some financing for your surgery if your insurance will not pay for it.

After I've finished this - I am going to become an invenstor myself. You don't have to invest thousands of dollars. If you are looking to deversify you holdings - this is a great way to do it. I'm really impressed with this process. I needed an extra $5200.00 for my surgery - and I did not want to tap my savings, 401K or IRA. So I decided to go this route. I am 40% funded as of today - and I'm really happy about it. I can't wait to become an investor myself. The returns are much better than you can get even on your savings, yet alone a 401K or IRA. For anyone interested - take a look. I'm just really impressed with this - and hopefully it will help out others that may have been turned away by insurance - or their insurance (like mine) has an exclusion!

      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.
