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!

      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.
