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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
