Medical Financing Options



Recommended Posts

Has anyone used a financing source to fund their surgery? Who did you go through? What did you look for to know it was safe?

Thank you.

We didn't go thru any financing for my hubby Sleeve surgery in Mexico. but I used my car as collateral at our bank. But...most of your companies offer some financing thru them. I know that we went thru BELITE WEIGHT LOSS and they offered it but the interest was higher than our bank. I would not recommend that place at all. You could start here with BARIATRICPAL and see if they offer financing. That is if you want to go abroad.

I went through Belite Weight. My interest was less than creditcare. Interest was based on my credit rating and im pleased with my loan terms. They were fast and very easy to finance with

Just curious, how did you like going thru them? Which Hospital did you go to? My hubby went thru BELITE and we weren't pleased with it. Was your Surgeon Jose Rodriquez?

My experience with BeLite was great. I worked with JoAnna, Jamie and Nadia. It was hassle free and they were great mental support as well as financial. I went to Hospital Angles. I had a team of 5 Doctors and 1 Anesthesiologist, Im terrible with names and i was a bundle of nerves so i couldn't tell you anyone's name.

We didn't get that kind of love. LOL They did take us to the wrong hospital for real. We got out and walked in, they checked and we weren't on their list. Then we were taken to another hospital. We had nurses and DR's that didn't speak English at all. They had me pay with $$ at the cafeteria. Then my change was pesos. Lord, I had lots of peso's when we left. Our grandkids were impressed when I gave them each peso. The nurses didn't even wash their hands or use hand Sanitizer. We didn't get discharge papers. He didn't have the RNy as planned, due to solid scar tissue he had the Sleeve. When I ask Belite for a new diet for him I was told it was the same as a RNY. I knew there was a difference because I had the RNY. They were supposed to give us money back due to different Surgery but they had to get more of the refund because he had a more difficult surgery which was fine but...we didn't even get the amount that they quoted to us. It was NOT an experience that I would visit again. So glad yours was so Positive!!

      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.
