Experiences? Stories? Feedback? They're my choice at this point but real people sharing real experiences help so much. Thanx!

Hi, I have booked through a lighter me as well. Many people on the forums have used them as we'll as a ready for a change. I have not had surgery yet but I'm set for October 25. I can put you in contact with my coordinator if you'd like. She always responds immediately with any question I have.

What prompted you both to consider alighterme over readyforachange? I'm going with readyforachange but have seen some comments recently that suggest their service isn't as good. I don't even know if its possible to change at this point, or if i want to. I haven't paid my deposit yet, which will probably seal the deal. I planned on doing that within the next few days, though, so I need to make a final decision soon.

I was sleeved 8/31 by dr Garcia in TJ using A lighter Me and had a wonderful experience. Dr Garcia and his staff were friendly and compassionate. The hospital was nice and clean. The onsite coordinator eduardo and the driver abraham could not have been more accommodating. The hotel Marriott was very nice.

I traveled alone and felt at ease the whole time. I met some women at the hotel before surgery the next day and met more at the hospital. It was a wonderful experience.

I used Ready 4 a change , and had an amazing experience. Dr.Garcia is really great and having 2 onsite coordinators, Melli and Rosie really help me a lot, not only me but also to my support person. I felt like a Hollywood star with them.

I have already posted in another topic in self pay mexico but my expereince was that alighterme is more attentive, I saw them at the hotel everyday, not mine from ready for a change. I had an issue my first day at the hotel after surgery and they didn't come over to help me and I was by myself, it was very upsetting. Aligherme just seem more professional and the rep from alighterme even stopped to speak with me and offered help if I needed it. If you haven't made a deposit, check out alighterme you have nothing to lose.

I used Alma from ready for a change and have no compliants. The coordinators were both great and checked on me frequently. I had requested that I be the first surgery of the day, even though I was the smallest and least complicated case (they like doing the complicated cases first), and alma passed my message right along to Dr. Garcia and I was indeed first!!!! Whenever I had questions there was always someone there to answer them for me and it was usually within the hour!!!!

I used a lighter me and can not say enough great things about them and my entire experience. You have nothing to worry about -- you will be well taken care of!

Do these ladies live in Mexico? Do you pay them extra to help you and travel. What is the point of a corrdinator? Do they work for the sugeons?

Thanks for any info.

Yes they live in Mexico and they work for the company that coordinates your surgery. So not really working for the surgeons but can recommend different surgeons and prices.

The dr pays them kick back but it's nothing for all the Erik they do for dictir

Most definitely the service is superior through A Lighter Me. At least that was my experience while I was there. There were some other patients there that were left on their own. I know there was 1 from Ready for a Change and the other 2 might have been from someplace else. The A lighter me coordinators offered to help the others which I thought was very nice of them!

When u went back to hotel, what were you fed?

 

 

I used a Lighter me. I have no complaints.
