I have decided on Cancun for my December sleeve surgery (“relieved sigh”). After requesting info from the three coordinators that work out of Cancun I have discovered that the group of doctors that work there are only doing procedures on the 14^th and 15^th so I assume the doctors work as a team (verboonen & Perez).

After researching both of the Doctors, I am really comfortable with either one. So, my question is…how do I decide which coordinator to use? I have info from Ready4Achange, Medical Tourism Corp, and International Facilitators. All prices are close and honestly I care more about having a good experience than saving a few bucks anyway. I am leaning towards Sheri at International Facilitators because she is actually in Cancun but I am not sure if that matters that much.

Can anyone give me any insight on my dilemma? I also welcome information from other people who went to Cancun to get their sleeve.

Thank You!

I went through A Lighter Me. I don't know how I ended up going through them, but they were great...

I chose Ready4Achange (specifically, Alma), because she answered my emails promptly (read: FAST) and thoroughly. I believe these individuals are the coordinators and represent that specific doctor and heck, I want someone who is on their game. Lol. I know each doctor works with several coordinators at different companies, but she has truly gone above and beyond.

For example, I sent her an email at 3:35 a.m. (Her time) 2 nights ago and I had a response in less than 5 minutes.

I'm sure others on here have similar experiences with their coordinators. They want our money and will do their part to keep our business with them.

I'm sure you will make the best decision for you!

I was sleeved 6/15/12 by Doctors Verboonen and Perez. I used Sheri Burke. Everything went well. Sheri was terrific, and her husband is a sweetie! Cancun.was lovely, and we felt safe. My family enjoyed their mini vacation!

Hi, I also go through Ready 4A Change and Alma is my coordinator and has been exceptional. I plan on going December 14/15th as well to have my surgery in Cancun so keep me posted if you are doing the same

Thank you for the feedback. I have been impressed with her so far. I will be paying my deposit next week. I will be flying in on the 14th and Surgery on the 15th. Are you flying via Miami or Atlanta?

I went with successfully slimmer. They were great, but they don't come to Mexico. They are a branch of A lighter me. Jannese was here from a lighter me and she was very supportive and nice.

You guys make me wish I could switch my date to December! I will be in Cancun in January! Bummer!

I will sit here and cheer you on and be sure to save a seat for me on the losers bench.

Ok..airline tickets are bought. This is happening. This...is starting to get real!
