Hi,You could always take a loan out from the bank, pay your doctor in full and pay the bank bank in payments. If you don't have credit possibly you get a family member to sign with you. I have heard of many self-pays that have to take out loans. Best of luck! :-)

I don't know what your circumstances are exactly but you should look into Medicaid and/or Medicare. Also, check with the local Vocational Rehabilitation office. They have been known to pay for this type of surgery in Texas. Obesity is a disease and it can and will prohibit someone from being able to work and that's what Voc. Rehab is all about - getting people back to work that suffer from disabilities. Good luck and God bless!

I just received an email from www.midwestsurgical.com and they said they take payments. 1-800-853-4229 is the phone number. I called them and am waiting for more info about payments. All they really said was "yes they do, & you'll work with the billing dept".
