Littleroo27 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hi all. This is my first post on this forum, though I've been stalking for a couple of days now. Like all (most) of you, I am considering Dr. Ortiz for two reasons. First, my insurance is evil and won't cover any weight related surgeries. Second, I read "Lap-Band for Life" and have researched online, only to come to the conclusion that he is one of the best. I do have one benefit in regards to this. I live in San Diego and can actually take the city bus to the airport from my office and get picked up from there to go to the center. Although I do have some questions and stuff, my main reason for writing this is that I would love to meet any of you in SD long enough for a chat either before or after your surgery. I live 5 miles from the airport and work even closer. So if you're going to be in the area and interested in chatting, please let me know. I am pre-op, obviously, but would love to hear about all of your experiences and just absorb all the knowledge that I can. My main question right now is, for anyone out there who got a loan for the surgery, who did you go through and what kind of a rate was provided? I am 26 and don't own anything but a 2000 Ford Taurus, but I have fantastic credit... I just got a second job so that I can pay for the band (or the loan for the band) and would like to get the best deal possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela444 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I'm not sure how to send an email to you through this site cause this is only my second post, and I have more exploring to do. So, if you know how, please email me. I'd love to talk with you after I'm banded. I'll be banded on Aug. 7, if we can work it out. Heck, I'm so new I don't even have a signature or a fancy little graphic or anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
