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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
