Home equity loan to the rescue of obese siblings

Only a pound separated the siblings Cyrus, who weighed 578, and Sheila who weighed 579 pounds. The only recourse for the Tehrani siblings was to refinance the house they had inherited from their father to shed the weight and take back their life. Cyrus' health insurer refused to cover the weight-loss surgery and Sheila had no insurance. So they went in for a home equity loan and underwent gastric by-pass surgery. It has been six months since the surgery and at their most recent appointment, early in December; Cyrus had lost 146 pounds and Sheila, 101.

The Tehranis say they don't mind paying $730 more each month for the next 30 years to pay off the $100,000 home-equity loan they took out to pay for their transformation and the surgery they may need in the future to cut off the folds of de-fatted skin. It's amazing how much more energy I have now, I've lost a whole person, says Cyrus Tehrani.

It doesn't seem possible that someone would not have a problem with the incurred debt over that frame of time; but when you think about how living with that kind of weight would be, it is certainly indicated to get the home equity loan and do the right thing by themselves. Really a compelling piece of writing. Good Stuff!
