I found it really hard to believe that r4achange patients are not being treated good, i was there not to long ago, and I got an excellent service from them. I think all of the companies have the good and the bad. From my personal experience, I got treated better than any US hospital, i still get calls from meli and rosie (my coordinators) to check on my progress, and they had been kind enough to have dr.garcia called me because i had some questions. I wonder why there is so much tension between a lighter me and Ready 4 a Change?

@ sleevednow, how do I contact a lighter me? thanks in advance....

 

The toll free number is 877-765-8446. You can reach Ronda, Janese and Sandi at that number. The other for everyone is 916-683-2808. You can also find email addresses on their alighterme,com

 

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Just competitiveness I would assume... They are probably both great companies to go with, but they gotta compete really hard to win the customers over.

I totally agree...ive heard the exact same things about each company, and the bottom line is, it's the same surgeon, same hospital, same staff, same hotel....DIFFERENT coordinators. Both companies will try to get our business, and every person will most likely think their experience was the better one. The way I feel is: as long as im alive, healthy, and SLEEVED on my ride back to the airport, that's good enough for me. Either way, were getting an excellent deal, with a clearly excellent team. And as far as the pricing goes, its just incentive. If i feel differently after my experience in Mexico, ill most def let everyone know!

My surgery was Sept 10th. I have yet to have a phone call; just a generic email where my full name was inserted into the body, how impersonal. The only reason I got an email from the Dr was prompted by me on two occasions. They(ready4achange) in my opinion do NO follow up.

The Doctor and facilites were great! I have absolutely no complaints in this area. Dr Garcia is an amazingly skilled surgeon. I actually had a revision with no complications, no gas, really no pain. I think I am doing great with weight loss: I had gained 7 pounds after surgery, took a week to lose it, then I lost 21 pounds, then stalled for 10 days. I am back on track again and so far have lost 32.2 pounds, yahoo!

I don't know anything about someone trying to sabotage ready for a change, I went with a lighter me and the posts I have made are the truth. My driver and local coordinator took great care if me while I was in mx and they ran errands for my sleeve buddy that was with ready for a change. They also took her everywhere we went without hesitation. They even offered to take her tithe airport because as of 9:00 pm the night before we were to leave she had not confirmed her transportation!

Thanks for this post. My date is November 14 with Dr Garcia. I just purchased my airline tickets last night. It's now very very very real. This was very helpful to read and calm my fears.

Nurseghana I think you are confused. The coordinating company and their review is totally separate from Dr. Garcia. If you have read my posts you will see that I say Dr. Garcia is amazing but for ME ready4achange was not.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
