Topic: Financing help - we found this ---
Hi everyone,
I am posting this for Sherri, ObesityHelp Web Services Manager:
Greetings everyone! We wanted to get your feedback. Here at ObesityHelp.com
we are always trying to help our members in anyway we can. We have found a
special finance company that deals with financing surgical procedures such
as plastic surgery and bariatric surgery and would like to hear your
experiences and feedback with dealing with this company.
Several people, as a back up plan, have applied and gotten preapproved for a
loan, just in case their insurance company denied them at the last minute,
so they wouldn't have to postpone their surgery.
So, check it out, it's free to apply. :cool:
http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/finance_services.phtml
And make sure to let us know how things went and help us to determine if
this service is a benefit to our members.:deal:
You can send your feedback to [email protected]
For your privacy, please do not post personal information in your replies on
the message board!!
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!!
