Anyone else financing?



Recommended Posts

I am financing due to being 38.5 bmi. The advantage is that I can be scheduled two weeks after meeting the surgeon! I believe the lapband is best for me. Anyone else financing?

Your member name defies me.

You are not going to have a lap band, surely? The success of gastric sleeve operations in substantially higher than lap band.

I'm confused.

Please explain.

Sent the sleeve. It was a typo LOL. I'm getting the gastric sleeve the second week of June and I don't know how to at my post. Please be kind.

and yes, I would never get a lap band. I have not heard of any long-term success as it seems to slip even years and years after being put in. My mom got a gastric sleeve six months ago and has had success.

Good luck on your journey and to answer your question, no sorry I didn’t finance. Insurance covered my surgeries.

I met with my surgeon today and I have a 36.9 BMI so I’ll be financing too. Waiting to hear from the finance rep to see how payments work. Did you have to do a down payment?

I too am financing / self pay.

I was going to go with Prosper but I did not like their interest rate. I am getting a loan from my credit union.

Prosper was very nice to work with.

Hi all - Am very upset to have learned that my "top flight" BCBS PPO will not approve my DS (being done 9 years after a sleeve). Have you found financing through your hospital billing/financial assistance office to be an option? Can't believe I may have to self pay.

Will they pay for RNY gastric bypass instead, or they won't pay for any bariatric surgery?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
