The excess skin on my lower stomach (a Panniculectomy) is typically about $5k, and a full tummy tuck is about 8k. These are estimated prices in my area. I have not personally consulted with a plastic surgeon. I have only done research through realself.com. I also have talked with several people through my insurance company…

Wow that's horrible what happened regarding your husband. Half with savings and half with credit sounds like it could be a great option for me. My credit score is just okay. Did you have a really high interest rate with care credit? Did they work with you regarding payment plans?

@amberlyda1 Do you mind me asking if your credit score was good?

I understand, the church was just an idea. The church I attend isn't your typical idea of a church, it's very small, laid back and casual. My father and step mother have very close long term friendships with the members there. Maybe myself and the members there can help me come up with some ideas.

I just wanted to update and say that I'm sorry if it came out the wrong way in regards to raising money and asking for donations. It's something I'm not 100% comfortable with, but thought it was a good starting point. I was thinking of it as just a close family and friends type of deal. I wasn't going to announce it on…

Thank you all so much for your help. This is quite frustrating to go through. I currently have a separate savings account for this. I will definitely look into financing down the road.
