Having trouble borrowing the money to have this done



Recommended Posts

Credit is not the best, does anyone have a suggestion where I could get the money. I am going to pull the money out of my 401k to pay it off in Feb 09. But I really wanted it done over Thanksgiving Holiday.:biggrin:

I went through CareCredit. You can apply online. I have very very bad credit so I had to have my dad co-sign for me :grouphug: Good luck. I hope all works out okay for you.

Thank you for your advise about a loan. Truthfully, I am having the gastric sleeve done. I am scared but I have to do this to save my life.

I agree with care credit.. It is a medical credit card and can be used for anyone in your family, even a pet. I even knew a girl whose friend got the care credit card in her name and she used it for herself.

Hi Ellisa... I was banded by Dr. C. in April! The office actually offered the Care Credit card to me as a payment option along with some other bank loan options. All the loans were basically the same.... payments with interest for a certain amount of years.

Thanks for the reply.

The person interested said her credit wasn't very good. I don't know if she is planning on going to Dr. C but probably could get the information from them or whoever she goes to.

CareCredit is a credit card for healthcare. It can be used from plastic surgery to vet bills. It can be reused as long as you have money on it to use. You get a line of credit based on your needs and the amount of the surgery and you credit. My parents cosigned for me because my credit wasn't good. :)
