How did u pay for plastics?



Recommended Posts

Ill try reposting my question here, how did u pay for plastics? I want to go to Mexico, I have a few docs in mind and I've spoken to one already, bit how did u all pay for it? Did it take u a long time to save? Did u use some kind of credit card? I need a LBL and a breast lift. Somebody please help! Currently have some money saved but I want to know other options... If u took out a loan, how did u go about that? I don't have the best credit either!

I used care credit for my surgery. It's medical care financing. Interest free for 5 years when a certain amount is spent.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get no interest for 5 year with care credit, I have only seen no interest for 18 months?

The no interest for 18 months is for a lower amount spent. I believe it's like 3000 and under or something. I self paid my surgery for about 8500 and that amount qualified for 60 months no interest.

Does Care Credit accept anyone or do you have to qualify?

Check into doctors in the states as well. I got several quotes from Mexico doctors for a Tummy Tuck and I was going to pay more in Mexico then I paid to have it done in Kansas City. One quote was 200 cheaper but then I had air fair and hotel costs. Plus someone had to go with me or I had to pay for a nurse to take care of me. The next place in Mexico was 700 more plus the cost of air fair, hotel and a nurse or have someone go with me. So it's worth the time to check out doctors and prices before you just run off to Mexico. I paid for my tummy tuck by saving like crazy! I canceled my satellite, and I have a pre paid phone to save money. Good luck!

      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.
