Thank You for answering...Did you have reflux or ibs before your gastric sleeve?
If so, is it better or worse now. I am afraid it might get worse after surgery...then I am in worse shape. So I am trying to find out before surgery. thankyou pat |

| A. You could always approach your bank but they may not provide this loan. B. You can use a company that specifically provides loans for Surgical procedures. The one I know of is http://www.surgicredit.com.au/They have a calculator on the site. I am not sure what you need to consider a reasonable amount of $$ if you are paying for surgery this way. I would suspect a sleeve would be aroung the $10,000 mark. |
