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.

What company did you go through? Which one is it that r4ac is using?

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. :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
