Sorry to hear that. Is it possible to get a credit card, some have low rates for x months. Where are you going to have the surgery, does the hospital do its own credit plan?

I had mine with cosmetic bliss in czech republic.

If you make good money & the only debt you have is a car payment I would pay off the car ASAP, sell it to pay for surgery then buy a really cheap car to replace it.

Then I would save up to get a nicer car with cash.

I don't advocate debt, it wreaks havoc on your finances, much like the extra weight does to your body.

you could always apply for a medical credit card. it can only be used for medical and it had to be paid of quickly.

Medical credit cards must be an American thing, I googled it and nothing came up in the uk.

Car cost the same as op :-(

      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.
