Hi All,

I know there are many people on the board trying to find an ex-US surgeon (I was one of those people). I must say I did feel a bit weird not having my blood work or test run prior to going to Mexico (my date is Nov 7th) so I went to my PCP and she ordered a slew of blood test, I had gotten my results and scripts for medicine/vitamins to take.

With that being said I am going through Ready4Achange so I emailed alma my results along with my script to ask if it is ok that I take the medications and when should I stop taking them (if at all) before the surgery. She forwarded my question along to Dr.Garcia and his medical staff within a short time I had received feedback from one of the doctors and less than 12 hours later from Dr.Garcia. This just makes me feel so much more comfortable with my decision, just knowing that pre-op I am able to get answers in a timely fashion and from the Dr. himself just speaks in volumes to me as to how I will be treated after surgery.

Just thought I would share!!!

OMG I can't wait to be sleeved.. I am anxiously counting down the days!

The package provided by the doctor covers the gatorade and all the goodies that you get after surgery. that does not come from the coordinator....you should get that no matter what company you use.

Although the coordinator may be the one that gets you the extras that you request..

Thanks!

I used A Lighter Me an Dr Garcia, both were fantastic. The people at A Ltr Me took very good care of me. It was easy to schedule and I paid $4700. I'm 4 weeks postop, down 21 pounds since start of preop diet, feeling great. Trying to increase my calories, if you can imagine!

I scheduled with Dr. Garcia through Ready 4a Change. My sister in law had him as her surgeon in July and could not raving about how good not only he was but also Alma, Samuel, and his assistants. My insurance would not pay and so I was left with a self pay option and could not afford the $10,000+ I was repeatedly quoted in the US. I also got the $4700 price from Dr. Garcia which was much les than what my SIL spent with him. Were thinking its because its an off season price? I am so excited for this though and am counting down the days until October 15th!!!

Yay!! I am excited for you the 15th is not far away at all! Please post on your progress once your able too.

Yeah the $4700 is a special that Dr.Garcia has been running.

Best of luck to you!!

I am so excited for you.
