Researching Ready 4A Change -Dr. Garcia Tijuana - Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I too just had surgery with Dr. Garcia but went through A Lighter Me. The hospital is new, very clean and only 2 years old. Some of us there signed up at A Lighter Me and some signed up with Ready 4a Change. Some had surgery, me, with Dr Garcia and some had surgery with Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuna at the same hospital.

This is only my opinion but those of us that went through a lighter me got better service. We were visited many times at the hotel and the driver took us shopping and to Walmart, because someone wanted to buy some sweat pants. Abraham and Eduardo drove us back and forth to and from the hospital. We didn't have to use the hotel shuttle like the others. The people with the other company were almost ignored.

But we all hung out together so we all supported one another. I'm sure if someone had a problem they could have called the doctor and at least he would have come to help them.

I never felt ignored with ready 4 a change....they were only a phone call away. I would prefer to Not have someone stopping by 2 to 3 times a day seeing me, if I needed them I would call. The marriott shuttle was very comfortable and no wait, they were very sweet and professional. Everyone at Ready 4a change bent over backwards to assist in any way they could. Samuel the driver was wonderful, picked me up at airport as soon as I landed and it only took us 1 hout to cross the boarder back to the states. Rosie came to see me at the hotel and called, Melie at the hospital, i seen her everyday...I never once felt ignored but taken very good care of. I would recommend Ready 4 a Change to anyone!!

I'm sorry nurse, I didn't mean to bash anyone. I'm sure there are many people that would prefer to be left for some peace and quiet.

I'm more of a people person that can't sit still for a minute and I can always go for shopping. Just ask my husband! He complains about my shopping all the time!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
