~Hi Denise, i was'nt sure i understood your question correctly...so i tried to read your profile. According to your profile you your body mass index (BMI) is 22.7 are you talking about WLS or plastics because your BMI is too low for WLS. you need to be @ or near a BMI of 40.0 for a weight loss surgery. That being said...if your BMI is off~ I wish you all the best @ getting a surgery date by june or july...it took me 9 months to have surgery, there are members on here that have taken years to be approved and go through the entire pre-op process.As for loans, i would say it would be in your best interest for your mother to apply for them...unless you have a steady income and a semi-descent credit score i doubt you will qualify for a loan on your own. WLS can run in upwards of 25,000-40,000 dollars...so we are talking more like a second on your moms mortgage rather than a personal loan. hope this answered some of your questions...GOOD LUCK

Thanks for clarifying :) I would just say that mom would have to apply for loans, due to you not being employed right now. Sorry i can't give you anymore info on the whole timeline of plastics....I am not there yet. I am only 21 days post op from WLS surgery. Good luck on your surgeries and @ school in the fall~BEST WISHES
