No payment plan any more, they had issues and had to stop.

Go to your local credit union for a personal loan. The rates are half of what I was quoted by those "medical financing companies" and if you don't have the credit for the personal loan, a revolving credit card through your bank is still lower.

It took me 6 more months to save for Dr.Aceves than my Plan B surgeon, but for me it was worth the wait. I used the time to research, research, and do a little more research. :rolleyes: We are lucky here in the U.S. that we can choose the surgeon who is best for us and our wallet. I wasn't comfortable with the surgeons in my area, even if they had been cheaper (which they weren't).

I just spoke with Nina last week and they still have the in house payment plan. You pay the $500 deposit and $5000 when you get there, you will be billed for the rest at minimum $250 until balance is paid out. They do not use a financing company however you will have to sign a promissory note the day of surgery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
