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. :)

      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.
