Who has gotten a loan or financing for Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Well I was recently informed, (7 days before my surgery) that I was not eligible for my insurance anymore, so I am still determined as ever to have this surgery, probably in May or June now though, because I am a teacher and will need to wait until summer break, instead of spring break. So I am thinking my only option now is going to Mexico. I would love any information on not only Mexico but from anyone who has gotten some type of loan or financing for surgery. What are the different options I have? I will not be able to save up more than $1000 before summer. Thanks for any advice! :)

My daughters went through medchoice for their lapbands. Vey easy, but I thought it was a bit higher than going through just a credit card. Easier to get by far though

I'm sorry, I didn't see that you were denied. If I was going to go out of the country, I would get some references from others, like you have here and go for a pre-surgery visit to scope out the town, hospital and hotel. On the flip side, who is going to monitor you after surgery?

I have United Health care - serviced by health plan of Nevada... they have said they will pay 5k of the surgery ( leaving me with 10k left to pay on my own). I am trying to get the surgery early this summer-- any ideas who might finance this sort of thing ... my credit is about 625 :( helppppp

      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.
