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

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
