jenlee 0 Posted October 21, 2008 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodriguezequal 3 Posted October 22, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenlee 0 Posted October 24, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nursekathy2u 0 Posted October 29, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellisa 6 Posted October 29, 2008 Asking for someone else as I was banded last year. But what is Care Credit and how does one apply? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalipso2 25 Posted October 29, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellisa 6 Posted October 29, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodriguezequal 3 Posted October 29, 2008 Asking for someone else as I was banded last year. But what is Care Credit and how does one apply? 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
