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 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.

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
