I am devastated



Recommended Posts

:think :think :think :think :think

I am looking for a loan and because I am a stay at home mom and don't make a lot of money I am not fiding any loans that I can afford. My plan was to get a personal loan and add to it my school loan and credit card along with the surgery and have one payment.

My husband filed for bankrupt a couple of years before we met and still recovering.

I feel like someone has given me a sentence to be overweight forever. I feel like my dreams of loosing the weight have been taken from me.

I cannot stop crying, my eyes are blood red and swollen.

My husband says to have faith that something is bound to happen. The quantity of money I need is not going to drop from the sky.

This sucks! I should have looked into the money before going forward with the surgery process. I have made plans accordingly, I have tasted Proteins, I even subscribed to WLS magazine.

Hey, I remember this post from a while back. I cut and pasted it for you. If it doesn't work, you can find it under the insurance links. Hope this helps.

Peace Out

I have posted many posts,about how to get insurance approval or how to get a loan,I could'nt get either because of my credit score.I was watching ABC News:

C:My DocumentsAbcNewsProsper.htm

and they talked about People to People loans,borrowing from common people.

It's great and it did work for me.

Every loan varies it's depending on you credit score, interest rate cap in your state and your ability to pay back the loan,everyone gets 3 yrs to pay back their loan typically.

Have you looked on the internet for medical procedure loans? I was able to find one several years ago when I was looking into a little plastic surgery. You might google it and see. The interest rate might be a little high but you could pay it off asap. :D Hope that helps. Good luck! Kelly

Thank you all.

My credit is good but I stay at home and that is not considered a job. the interest with capitalone medical loans is 16.99 way to high. Bank of America only approved me for 10,000.00. Capital one's personal loans are better but by invitation only, I mailed them a letter asking them to invite me.

I am hoping to consolidate my student loan and credit card alongwith the surgery ( 14,500.00 for the surgery) I need 23,000.00 to cover all three.

or just find a super low interest medical loan.

I will keep you all updated.

Again, thank you for all your help.

Yeah,

I was self pay and went to Monterrey Mexico and it was just 8500.00 for absolutely everything and right now they're doing a special for 7500.00. I had to take out of savings and I didn't have the 23000.00 they wanted here plus here I checked with 4 different hospitals and the most anyone had done was less than 500 and my surgeon had done over 6000. I wish I knew something to help you. Keep trying though and don't give up.

Mexico is too complicated for me I already looked into it. My daughters won't stay with anybody which means I have to bring them with me along with my parents to watch them and that is plane tickets and hotel and food and hours on a plane. I want to have surgery and go to my bed and rest and I rather have a local doctor that I can go to and knows me.

My doctor is a very reputable doctor, I cannot tell you how many lap bands he has done but he was an apprentice to one of the first gastric bypass doctors back in the 70's and they put their patients through the ringer with classes and nutritionists, support groups and writing a letter of understanding etc.... before he does the surgery.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
