Help with paying for my surgery



Recommended Posts

my husband's insurance does not cover the surgery. We have very bad credit. I am desperate for a solution to my weight loss. Is there anyone out there that can lead me toward an answer or solution to financing? ?

My surgeon had financing availible.

Have you tried with your surgeon?

It will be at high interest with your (er credit rating) probably but very much WORTH IT.

Good luck,

edie

Have you tried to find out why they don't cover it and did you get an explanation.

Like edie stated, they have all kinds of financing available. look on the internet and pick one.

Could you try cleaning up your credit a bit and then perhaps you could get a loan? The interest rates are going to be extremely high otherwise.

Some of the Mexican docs used to personally finance some of the surgeries but they were burned so many times I don't know of any that do it anymore. Besides, they do check credit.

There are financing co's that many docs work with. Call the doc of your choice, explain the situation, and see which finance company they suggest.

      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?
