Need Financing! Any Suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Hi All!

I am restarting my real weight loss journey today on Black Friday, 11/24/2017.

I am a newbie and had my first surgeon visit 11 months ago. I knew going into my appointment that my insurance would not cover the procedure. I was a good candidate and even scheduled a preliminary surgery date, but I had to cancel it (last week of December of 2016). I thought I could cover the surgery until the final price was given to me. I then thought I could get financing from a bank and/or appeal my insurance. Needless to say, both of these did not occur.

My question is, what reputable companies offer financing? What are options for financing? Do any medical provider/facilities offer it? I've done a pretty extensive Internet search, but wanted to ask forum.

I look forward to participating and getting to know many of you.

Thanks in advance!

If you want to stay in the states try CareCredit.
I was approved through Medical Tourism companies but they wanted to add a $2000 processing fee but they would give me a 0% interest if paid in full in 12 months instead of 24. I wasn’t willing to pay that extra so decided to wait. I have heard that a few people have been able to finance and did not mention that high fee. Hope you are more successful than me. I only tried 2 companies and approved by both but neither was enough for the type of surgery I wanted.

I know it sounds silly, but did you ask the surgeons office? I mean im sure they get plenty of cash pay patients and they want the business. So it benefits them to help you out

      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.
