Hoping and praying to find a way to pay for this

[Guest Barb B]

Hi I am new my name is Barb I live in Kansas. I hope to some day be able to afford this. My daughter is thinking of getting it done and her insurance will pay for hers, wish I could find a "BOGO" sale on these. I have not been back to work very long and have still been having troubles. I just finished chemo in January, and still doing loads of weird tests that I can't afford, that also keep me from working like the spinal tap 2 weeks ago that has kept me from 2 weeks of work since the tractor driving bounced me so much I got a Migraine that lasted for 7 days. I don't have a significant other he took off with his secretary when I was diagnosed. But somehow I will figure out how to do it. I have beenin this message board for hours now reading all I can. Glad to have found you, you inspire me. Barb

Barb if you are going to Mexico, many of the Dr.s there offer financing. I had my surgery done in TJ and I financed $2000 of it and paid cash for therest. My payments were 127 a month, I have paid it off. Best of luck to you, when there is awill there is a way. Dont give up!!

Hi Barb. Welcome to the board! I've been all over the internet and this site is unsurpassed for information and support. I remember seeing a comment on another thread about Capital One offering financing for Lapband surgery. Good luck!

Hi neighbor! I am from Kansas as well. Hey there are some really great bandster sites on you that are from here in Kansas, I would love to give you the links. But on here you will find tons and tons of valuable information, I am rather new to this site as well, and I look forward to reading posts everyday for information as well as inspiration. I hope things pick up for you. I am going to Mexico for my surgery as I am self pay and its cheaper plus the dr. I am going to seems to have a great reputation.

Anyways, welcome and good luck!

Ive heard of people taking out a 2nd mortgage on their home to pay for this surgery. Also, the credit union is another souce that a firend of mine went to for a loan.

I sure wish you a wonderful recovery, both physicaly and emotionaly. God bless~
