My poor experience with A Lighter Me

[Waitingame 11]

Thank you, I am looking forward to seeing your success. It is amazing the transformation and freedom this surgery makes.

From this day on you will bloom. Healthy and gorgeous is all anyone can ask for. Not to mention all the compliments you'll get.

I am from Nashville Tn. but now living in a small town in east TN called Spring City. I have been to Birmingham several times. Maybe we can all get together sometime. This is going to be so exciting. I am thankful to be able to have this surgery. Thanks to Mexico and the coordinators that work so hard to make our dreams come true.

Oh dear .. This is what people are trying to say. It was 1 little oversight and can happen anywhere ... I think it's a really good company & drs (I haven't been yet) for this 1 unfortunate experience there's thousands of good ones. OP had a bumpy road but I think it's all sorted now.

I give up. I guess that's what I get for trying to be nice... but it seems like you just enjoy stirring the pot.

Read the entire thread and do research of your own. Do go on what just one person says/posts. There are a vast number of excellent MX surgeons and Cordinators. Research in depth and then talk, personally, with many patients of the docs you are considering. First off.. Never go on price alone. You have to research for months before you can reliably decide which dr, Cordinator, staff, hospital etc and that you will be confident in putting your life in their hands. This goes with any surgeon in MX AND the US.

Hi I think the OP was fine with her doctor and hospital (could be wrong)

It's was the company she went through...

"A lighter me" and Janese Pitcher, the Patient Coordinator in particular..

Good luck in your research!

[Ms.AntiBand 2,984]

YIKES... That was supposed to be DON'T go on what one peron says

[Ms.AntiBand 2,984]

Yeah.. And person, not peron! I give up!

Hello I have never posted on here because of the negative responses. But I just had to pop in and set some things straight. Gettinsleeved is in NO WAY a coordinator I was in Mexico at the same time having surgery, I was there in the Hospital at the same time. We went shopping together with her sis and a few other patients. I had a great experience with Janesse and the whole experience from being picked up at the airport by Abraham going to the hospital, the Doctors, and the Hotel it was all a very good experience. To answer the comments about the drain issues: I had a Tummy Tuck 10 years ago after losing 100 pounds on my own. I had the surgery in the states. Self pay over 15,000.00 I had the surgery at 9:00 in the morning and by 2:00 in the afternoon was sent home with 2 drains I had those drains in for almost 2 weeks, that would have been one long hospital stay if I had to be in the hospital for that reason. The Dr never called to check on me he never visited my home. i had to call the Dr when i passed out from the anesthetic I had to wait for him to call me back. I also had to clean and bandage my incision for the month following. This was in the states. My experience in Mexico was far more caring than what I experienced during my tummy tuck. I also had a drain with my gallbladder surgery that was not done by laparoscopically and again went home with a drain. Don't think that if you have a drain that it is only something they do in Mexico. They do leak and you do have to care for them they are a nuisance but it is just temporary. They have a purpose. They know what they are doing down there. If this patient had any of the symptoms of infection or any thing that was not the norm they would have been all over it. The leakage is normal they see it all the time. Don't let one person with a comment that she didn't get the response as quickly as she wanted keep you from having this surgery here in the states or in Mexico. When I read the first post I was sad because I saw right away people second guessing the Dr, the group and Mexico and that is sad. For every one negative comment there are so many more that never post the positive one, because they feel it went fine and pretty boring. She even said she didn't have a problem with the Dr or the hospital.

To those getting their feathers ruffled that the OP posted a constructive criticism about her experience with ALM: Has it occurred to none of you that she has not once accused, insinuated, implied deceit or theatrics to those singing praises of ALM, nor has she attacked you regarding your own personal account of your own personal experience?

A shame you chose not to give her that same courtesy.

Hey.. Edit, Cleaver invention! Hahaha..thanks for the heads up

[Ms.AntiBand 2,984]

Ok.. Whoa AGAIN! People coming on the forum for one and only one thread.. In defense of a company? Definitely a strange thing.

Kill the thread it's gone commercial. Oh well.. It's over done anyway
