Pageantnurse Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I know that NO insurance will cover my band as I am not by their standrds heavy enough. I think 100 extra pounds is more than enough but ... Does anyone have any suggestions about ways to finance the surgery with so so credit. I dont have any repos or bankruptcies but I DO have student loans etc.. Any ideas weird and wonderful will be appreciated. Erika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shell Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I had part of my surgery financed through Capital one. Dr. Ortiz uses this financial institution here is their web site www.cosmeticfeeplan.com I hope this helps If you have any questions please feel free to email me personally When you apply online use his full name Dr. Ariel Ortiz also choose Connecticut when they ask what state and his name should come up.

Look into a "study" . I am a participant in one as we speak through a company called allergan. they are researching the effectiveness of the band on people with BMI of 30-40. The whole process is free. look into it in your area! good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awapuhi Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 IT'S $8500 FOR DR.O Yes, but unfortunately it doesn't cover our transportation there. If you are lucky enough to live close to TJ,it's not too financially draining. But it is worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't quite understand why you are digging up a post that is almost 3 years old and responding to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was actually responding to a recent post - KBosco revived it. Transportation doesn't always have to be expensive. From Atlanta to San Diego I found flights as low as $350. That's pretty inexpensive if you realize you're flying basically from one coast to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the thread title, I didn't realize she was just trying to revive the question. My bad. For cheap airfare, if you live near a Southwest Airlines city, check out their DING! program, which alerts you to cheap flights to and from selected airports on a daily basis. You can often get a one way ticket from one coast to the other for under $100 i f you act fast. Since OCC is usually so flexible with their scheduling it can work really well.
