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.

      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.
