I think that was the one that quoated me the $400 a month payments and that was for $8950. Oh well, I guess I wasn't meant to have the surgery. If I keep applying for loans that will make my credit score lower due to so many inquires. Maybe someday, If I don't crock first. (haha). Thank you everyone that has responded. All of your advice was helpfull. > >

I applied thru one of the ones that is listed on Dr. Ortiz website and they had two loans one was like 17% and the other was even higher than that. I tried thru my bank and they denied me. I am trying another one but still waiting for them to call me back. I don't want to give up because I really would benefit from this procedure. But I just don't know where else to look. Thanks for responding, I wasn't sure if anyone would with this type of question.

( I want to have this surgery but Im not well off in the pocket book, I have tried for loans but Im looking at around $400 a month for the next 3-4years. OUCH!! I have been trying to find information on grants, but either Im not looking in the right area or there's nothing out there. Does anyone have any advice on where to go or where to start?? I am desperate. (

Does anyone out there know if Dr. Ortiz has a requirement of no smoking in order to have the surgery? I know here in Oregon I have to be smoke free for at least 6mo. Yes I know its better for my health but everyone has some bad habit. (haha)

I was told by my doctor to have bariatric surgery but neither of my insurance's will cover this. I have heard of a couple people at work that went to DR. Ortiz so I thought I would look into it. I am really nervous about going to Mexico and later having complications. I live in Dallas, OR so Im not by any means close. I think Im more worried about unexpected cost's that could arise. I know my health would benifet but just hearing of a few complication that people have had scares me. My husband thinks that this is a waste especially if I have to go to mexico. But Im at the point that I will do almost anything. Can any of you calm my worries and give any advise?
