Financing? Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I will admit that I cried when I found this site and read everyone's stories. My name is Savanna. I will be graduating from college in December and I will be a teacher. I actually start my student teaching tomorrow. I have been researching LapBand for about 3 years, and I have decided that it is the best option for me. The only thing is that my insurance doesn't cover it. I'm fine with that because I have been reading about a lot of financing options that are available. I can't work while I student teach but I plan on starting my journey as soon as I graduate and obtain a job (hopefully in Jan. or Feb.). Has anyone else been financed for the band? What is my first step? I am so excited that I am about to burst even thinking about it. I could use all the advice you have to give!:whoo:

Hi Helm, I Financed With Care Credit Actually I Just Got Approved. The First Thing To Do Is Find The Doctor You Want To Go With Because Since I Was Approved With Care Credit I Had To Really Search For Docotrs Who Accepted It In My Area. And Then Just Go From There. 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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
