Sounds like you might have a pretty nice car, have you considered selling it and getting something minimal for a while so you can get the surgery sooner?

I have thought about selling it... I'm just confused on what to do. I was really hoping that the loan would have went through :(

Get* I think if I had that issue I'd just put it on a credit card. Ya there's interest but going to Mexico is pretty cheap anyways.

I really messed that up when I was younger. I had 2 credit cards with $10,000 limits on them and by the time the interest and late fees piled up on it, it was ridiculous. I pretty much ruined my credit over that. It got out of hand and I didn't pay it back. Just young and dumb. Now that I actually need it, I can't get it.

Jesser, I am in Finance, and can tell you from my experience, a company that may take your car for collateral, and loan you the amount you need depending on the circumstances would be Springleaf Financial. I have had clients that were able to borrow from them within less than a year after foreclosure and bankruptcy. Maybe give them a shot?

Best of luck!!

Jesser,

The good news is that this surgery isn't going anywhere, it will be here when you are financially ready. Take some deep breaths, take care of yourself and your son. When you get your financial house in order the surgery will come.

I see that you have gotten yourself in credit trouble before. Be patient, don't fall into desperate lending barely getting yourself enough money to get surgery type credit. think long term about the financial impact.

I agree with Laura-ven, don't strap yourself financially and certainly don't get into anything you can't handle. Especially if you are going to be putting your transportation up for collateral, only do this if you know you can afford it for the duration. Otherwise, this surgery will wait for you when the time is right financially. I am a huge believer that everything happens for a reason!

I'm with you 100% Laura. Exactly why I recommended downgrading cars. I'd rather be thin driving a $2500 hoopty than obese driving 10-15k car. And being debt free just makes it all the better

I sold my 2 year old Nissan Sentra to help fund my surgery. If one is serious about getting it, then one will do what they have to. :)

      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.
