Oh how interesting! That's actually fine with me because the doctor I have selected (Dr. Aceves) has a great reputation.

That's too bad that investors will pull out before funding. It gives me renewed hope to know this is an option though, so thank you very much!

That's actually part of my plan. Comply and show them its not all its cracked up to be, and go to all fill appointments and nutrition appointments all while appealing. I followed the eating and exercise for a long time with not very good results. The dr never gives me a fill and I don't feel like I have any restriction. I hate this. I have felt like a failure for so long because I can't get this weight off, even with the band, and I am convinced my hormone imbalances due to pros and diabetes makes it extremely difficult to lose the weight. I need malabsorption to help.

Topic: RE: Prosper funding

Hello, and thanks for your reply!

I guess I should have said that I'm not sure if I will qualify for a loan with my bank or a credit union. That would absolutely be my first choice! I have until October (when I get some vacation at work) to pay down my credit card and get my credit up, and that's when I will apply. But I've been looking into other ways to fund a loan in case I can't get a loan that way. I am VERY wary of the medical loan companies and I have read a lot of horror stories.

Prosper is a "peer to peer" lending service where you basically apply, and the "investors" on the site can choose whether or not to fund your loan, so while there are fees associated, I think it sounds better than the medical loan brokers. I just don't know whether the investors ever choose to fund loan requests for surgeries (especially in Mexico...).

I have Lindstrom's office working on my appeal at the moment. It might be worth pinging them for info to see if they could help. Definitely less expensive than self pay in Mexico.
