Just wondering if any of you have any positive feedback re: financing options for sleeving in mexico. My wife and I are looking at options for sooner rather than later, but don't have the best credit. Thanks for any insight you can provide!

I saw on one of the doctors websites that you needed a credit score above 650 to qualify for MedLoan financing. I think I will be trying a subprime bank locally to get mine and using collateral because I would be right on the boarder of qualifing for it.

I know there are several companies that do financing for bariatric surgery. I actually have a spreadsheet of them, that I am attaching here for you.

Hopefully, one of them can help you.

I have heard of others doing a 401K loan and if I had that option it would be the first one I would explore.

If your credit score is good, you can go to creditcard.com & select a card with 0% interest for 18 months. You apply online & get decision in 2 mins or less. Card comes with checks & you just write one to yourself (3% fee on checks). Interest rate goes up to "whatever" after 18 months, but its a low cost, easy short-term loanl.

I had my surgery in June 2013 and list 71 lbs so far. I borrowed from my 401k. Best decision I ever made.

      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.
