Anyone use her? I am a bit concerned that it seems like after surgery no one has any way to contact her. She has great results and seems wonderful. Ready 4a Change tells people that they do not need follow up care after the sleeve (?) and that seems a bit off. It is also an additional $300 for 6 months of follow up with Dr. Luna. $300 is fairly inexpensive but it seems like other groups offer this for free.

I would prefer to book with her directly like her husband Dr. Lopez but I am not sure if this is an option.

I used Ready 4a Change, but used Dr Perez in Cancun. They did a good job and I was satisfied. I coordinated preop care (tests and bloodwork) with my local PCP and have a follow up visit with her next week. I was sleeved 5/26 and have lost 51 lbs including 16 on the pre op diet.

My insurance did not cover WLS and chose this route given I felt my health was at stake and I wanted to act.

Can you contact Dr. Perez and are you satisfied with the nutritional counseling you received?

I was set up for to contact via email if needed and got very little nutritional counseling but am working with a nutritionist locally. I approached this from the perspective that I would need to manage all the preop and postop work on my own and that has worked fine.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
