Financing plastics?



Recommended Posts

Well, I'm about 30 lbs away from goal and totally obsessed with the idea of plastics. I have always had a large chest that is purely breast tissue so my 36G chest is sagging like nothing I've ever seen. I guess breastfeeding three kids didn't help either. My stomach from three c sections is not nice for a 28 yr old either.

This brings me to my question....with savings accumulating incredibly slow - has anyone financed their plastics? Care credit interest free promotions are my interest specifically. If you have, was it hard to approve for?

Curiosity needs answers ????❤️

I haven't financed my plastics, but when I'm done losing - assuming my surgery is paid off - I would.

I had my plastics in Mexico, so they weren't prohibitively expensive to begin with, but the way I financed mine was to borrow against my retirement. If you or your husband have a retirement account, you should look into that option. The nice thing about it is that you are just paying yourself back with interest.

In case anyone wonders - I went ahead and pulled the trigger with care credit. I was approved very easily with 18 month interest free term. When I decide on a date this will help tremendously ❤️

Congrats! Best of luck with your plastics and I wish you an easy recovery. Just a word of warning, the recovery from plastics is BRUTAL compared to WLS. It is serious business! Make sure you are able to take adequate time off work and have someone to help you in the early days at home. You will NOT be doing things for yourself... like not even bathing yourself in those early days.

I'm terrified of recovery. I think I'll do one procedure at a time. I've had three c sections and those were horrendous. I'm a baby about pain maybe lol the question is boobs or tummy first?!?! Lol oh the choices!

Boobs are a lot easier, recovery-wise. So maybe those first and then work your way up to the TT? If you do the TT first, you may change your mind about having boobs done, since that one is tough! Or you could do them both at the same time, like I did, and just get it over with so you only have one recovery period. One thing to keep in mind in addition to the time off and the pain... each time you are recovering from surgery you will have to cut way back on exercise, so that's always a scary prospect when you are relying on regular exercise to keep your weight in check.

I have to have my boobs redone soon due to malpositioning of my left implant and I am DREADING falling back to square one with my upper body strength training and running.

I wanted to do my lower body lift and breasts at the same time, but was told I couldn't because I would have to be under anesthesia for too long. I was under for 6 hours for the LBL itself. I will definitely wait a good long time before I will be ready to go under the knife again!

      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
