Well after over a year thinking about it and researching I decided on getting the Vertical Sleeve Surgery.

Self pay is my only option and after reading for forums for the last 6 month, for me, Dr. Garcia is my choice of Doctors after reading all the great reviews of his work.

I sent my paper work in to Alma, Ready4achange a few weeks ago... does anyone know how long it takes to get reveiwed, then after that, to finally get scheduled

Thanks Everyone

Hmmm....I think my paperwork was reviewed and approved by the next day. I think you can set a date very soon after that. I wonder if your file is mislaid?

Have you heard anything back from Alma? She usually responds very quickly. I would just check back in with her.

I would definitely check back. I think mine was approved by the next day. At the most it was a few days, but definitely less than a week!! Just get in touch with her again!

Definitely check back with her. That's odd. I swear that woman never sleeps. Lol. I sent her emails at 2 am my time and she responded.

I was the same way! Lol It seemed like no matter when I emailed her, I received a response within half an hour, at the latest. She seriously must not sleep! Hahaha

I agree with the others. I turned mine in, and was approved the next day or so. It sounds like it would be unusual to wait longer than that for some sort of acknowledgement. I'd definitely try to reach Alma by phone or email and ensure she received your information.

ALMA NORMALLY CALLS OR RESPOND QUICKLY SHE WAS OUT OF THE OFFICE ON JULY 3 BUT STILL CALLED ME LATE.

Did you email/fax/mail the papers? She is SUPER fast! I agree with the others, she will call you back, email you back and odd hrs! She is the bomb! Well, the whole organization is! I am currently awaiting my procedure! Just a few hrs to go!

Congrats on your August date Mantar!!! R4AC is a great company and Dr. Garcia is the best!! Alma is extremely helpful in answering all of your questions so if you have them, don't be afraid to ask her, I know I had a million and I went down there by myself, and had nothing but a wonderful experience!!
