Mexico and financing?!?



Recommended Posts

Long story short, my insurance approved my surgery..then 7 days before my surgery they denied it. :( This happened 2 weeks ago…trying to get over it but still determined to have this surgery. Does anyone who went to Mexico know if it is possible to use any type of financing or anything like that, I say mexico because I know it is about less than half of what it costs here in the US.

If anyone has information on financing for here in the United States that would be great as well…about how much would you think someone would need to finance in the US?

I am actually going to Mexico for $5500 that is including removing my lapband with Dr. Garcia. They have several financing companies you can use. Depending on which doctor you choose they will send you the information on the finance companies. I am choosing Mexico because it was going to cost me $17,000 here in the states which you can use care credit here.

Are you financing the $5500?

No. I'm paying cash. Pinching pennies to have it all in time.

Why did they deny you after you were approved? Isn't that illegal?

They said I should have never been eligible to begin with and it was a mistake of their part.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
