financing?
Hi there,
That is a good question. I have been wanting to get some plastics done and face the same issues. There are a lot of creative ways to raise money. Fundraisers, sales, bake sales, and I could go on. I don't know much about you but maybe your church, if you go to one, can have an event to help you raise money. I don't encourage people to get loans because that is just more debt but it is an option.
I wish I was more help but life is hard money wise and I think we all struggle with having enough.

I think that the possibility of getting special financing for the procedure is slim to none. You can try programs like " Care Credit" or finance companies or title pawns places if you own your title (but please decide whether or not that is a sensible option). I honestly think that it might be easier to find a job where you are 100% positive that the insurance pays for the surgery and try to get a job there. I know for a fact that certain state insurances such as NC and VA insurance offer the service thru their insurance. I work for a City Government in VA that doesn't offer the insurance but I plan to start looking for positions in my field with the state as soon as possible in hope that by the end of next year (2013), I will be in a position where I can have the surgery. I was offered a job in 3 different states a few months ago and only one of the offers insurance plan offered Bariatric services. I was not offered that positiion but was offered the other two. I'm happy with the position that I took but it would have been so perfect if they offered bariatric services. Maybe it's just not meant for me but I'm now 47 years old, 290 pounds @ 5'4" with sleep apnea and grossly bad knees. My self-esteem is practically non-existent right now and it's affecting every part of my life now when in the past it didn't really bother me.
