Which one should I/would you use? I've seen good things on both!

Also, I met a wonderful surgeon on my fourth consult and am so glad -- Dr. Gallaher in West Knoxville. WOW!
He told me something completely different than the others-- that instead of doing the LBL altogether that since i have so much skin that i would get a better result if i do the tummy tuck and BL/BA first then do the rest of the lower body in a separate procedure.
Cost for BL/BA and tummy tuck (including hospital, anesthesia, garments, etc.) $14,200.

Be happy.

Apply for both and see which one gives you a better rate.  Its all based on your credit score.  Also, some deduct from the doctor's fee (I hate that) and so your doc may not be willing to discount your fee as much !

I don't know anything about surgeryloans.com, but one of the things I really like about my care credit card is that I can use it over and over. I used it for my braces, tattoo removal, hair removal, got my husband's teeth whitened... and now that all of that is paid off, I can use it again for my plastics when I'm ready. It's just like any other credit card, meaning you can pay it off and keep it for use again, and you can use it for anyone you want to.

Some people use theirs for dental, vision, even their pets.

ive heard about both care credit and surgeryloans. be careful of fees. i had a credit score of 628 and i found a company called FundMyDr.com.... they paid my dr the entire procedure amount with no fees to them, my doc was really happy. they qualified me for a 6month interest free program, because i will pay it off soon! FundMyDr.com is really good

I got a 12 months same as cash loan through Care Credit and went with them as a result. Just set up autopayment so I can be done a month ahead and I'm happy with it.

hello i went through surgeryloans and had a really hard time and had to cancel with them another company (fundmydr.com) gave me the same loan with half the fees and they paid my dr directly. not only did i save money, but the dr told me they did also, because i guess surgeryloans charges them a fee also!! so glad i found FundmyDr.com last minute saved me alot. and thank goodness to  these horrible reviews i found on surgeryloans

I checked out quite a few medical loan company's and was finally accepted at United Medical Credit http://www.unitedmedicalcredit.com/.   I am scheduled for a consult for a tummy tuck as a gift to myself for my 50th birthday. I feel a new body coming on!!!   mail

I used Care Credit for both of my surgeries and I like them. You can set your payment schedule. However, they don't offer the no interest on large amount but it was fixed for a period of two years. However, I paid it off in less than one. Good luck to you
