Can i claim back when hospitial bust?

I dont know what to do, i recently had gastric balloon proceedure, paid £2500 card (1000debit, 1500creditcard), £2500 loan on a fixed 0% agreement.

had the balloon done (12 month support plus unlimited fills, dietician etc)

and had a phone call saying hospital A MONTH after having balloon has gone into admin, they cant offer a fill of what i had been requesting for 2 weeks after having it done as they didnt do their usual 450cc fill they gave me 300cc so not feeling the full effects!

so im now 5k out of pocket with a balloon not helping me at all im at my wits end and so depressed, i rang another private hospital who offer balloon ive had and theyve told me its £600 a fill or £1200 removal which is money i have no way got now i paid for the balloon.

anyone know where i stand or offer advice? so low right now, was happy thinking i had something helping me in life to get fit and healthy but am back at square one, skint and something in me that isnt working =(
