Ready4achange Paperwork



Recommended Posts

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.

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!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
